Thought of as America’s last piece of the Wild West, a true cowboy icon and at times, a mysterious beast…the Wild Mustang returns to Silver Dollar City, sponsored by the Bureau of Land Management and the Mustang Heritage Foundation. Fred Woehl, who serves as chairman on the BLM National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory board, has proven that mustangs are versatile, trustworthy, athletic and are an American Legend…a living, breathing part of our history. “Mustangs have taught me more about horses and myself than anything else I have ever done…patience, prayer, body language, understanding, not taking things personal, creative thinking, different perspectives…if more people understood the true reward and could grasp the real meaning, no mustang would ever want for a home, says Woehl. This year Fred brings back a crowd favorite, Blue, who was adopted by Fred in 2005, along with Miss Ellie from northwest Colorado, and his helper, LJ, the wonder dog. Blue has been an ambassador for the Wild Horse Program and is well known by thousands of children through his demonstrations and shows here at Silver Dollar City every fall. Blue has worked with the Black Stallion Literacy Program at the University of Arkansas, is a hippo

therapy horse and has given hundreds of children their first horse ride. Visit with Fred and the mustangs in Red Gold Heritage Hall’s Courtyard (D-7) for more information.

One-Stop Shop For All Things Western Wear

Ever wished you could be a real life cowboy or cowgirl? Now you can when you stop by Cowboy Jepp’s (F-6)! Located on Valley Road, this is the one-stop shop for all things western wear. From items such as cowboy hats and rodeo shirts to John Wayne and Native American apparel, you can leave feeling like you just stepped out of a western movie. Plus, be sure to check out the Liberty Wear collection while you’re in the shop! This collection has a variety of Americana

tops for women that feature horses, American flags, western gear, lots of bedazzling, and more! For the little ones in your life, pick up a toy horse or sheriff’s badge to start their love for all things country. Stop by Cowboy Jepp’s on your way to listen to the live country music at Echo Hollow during Country Music Weekend and you’ll be the most decked out cowboy, or cowgirl, there!

Jeff Walker says pottery is a little bit of art for everyday life. Working in clay since age 14, he set goals to perfect his skills, like throwing a hundred mugs a day. With over four decades at the craft, Walker came to Silver Dollar City as Master Craftsman turning tons of clay into pottery treasures. “If I can add a little joy to your life when you pick up your mug and say, ‘Isn’t that beautiful?’ that makes my day,” he says. The newest work of art in Hillcreek Pottery (D-6) is a collection of crystal glazed pottery. This beautifully, unique collection of plates, bowls, mugs, and vases takes great skill and craft to create. Look closely at this collection and you will notice that each piece has a different pattern to it, as well as various spots throughout the glaze. These spots are actually crystals found within the glaze. The crystals, also referred to as seeds, begin to grow while the glaze is exposed to great amounts of heat. The longer the glaze is held in the heat, the larger the crystalline spots become, resulting in the most intricate and lovely of products! Be sure to stop by Hillcreek Pottery today to behold the beauty of the crystal glaze for yourself and to see the potters at work!
