Well, it has been 6 months since it was first announced that the much loved Black Bear Jamboree and Black Bear Jamboree Christmas Spectacular would have their last season. Opening day, May 26th, has came and went and things are going SPECTACULAR! Now, both David Fee and Jim Hedrick are known for their creativity and quality when it comes to putting together a production. Never in a million years did anyone have a clue as to what was to come when they decided the shows would be replaced by Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Show. Ideas were tossed around and sketches passed about, but all seemed so unreal. These two men took their dream and held on to it till the very end. The imagination of Fee and Hedrick is an inspiration to ALL ages.
All of Sevier County and guests traveling through witnessed your seemingly average theater morph into a feud-friendly setting consisting of two worn down cabins complete with graves, clothes line, and chicken coupes. It sure took a whole lot of elbow grease and manpower to look that Country. If you have ever had the pleasure of reading Snuffy Smith Comics, you could very well picture what the theater now looks like. Personally, I couldn't tell you whether the outhouse or the junked truck out front was the proverbial "icing on the cake." All of it comes together so perfectly like some kind of hillbilly wonderland with the jubilant twang of Bluegrass to comfort you as you walk toward the doors. I refuse to reveal what splendid and creative secrets lie behind the entry way. This is something you HAVE to see for yourself to believe.
