Fire in the Hole Media Event (SDC)

 


Welcome to Silver Dollar City's Town Hall Meeting to discuss the additions for the 2024 season

We got our credentials, let's head on in to the Meeting

Casey and the Attaboys acted as the house band to entertain the crowd until it was time for the event to begin.

The Fire Chief welcomed everyone to the the Town Hall Meeting and officially swore us in as Volunteer Firemen.

Then it was time for the reveal

New for 2024 is Fire in the Hole
(the next view photos are from the film presentation)






The backstory in the station is that they are unveiling a new model for the fire wagon and this is what it looks like

You'll notice that the real buggies look similar







You'll notice that there are a lot of familiar sites that will appear in the new ride
