(D) Day 2: Enjoy included breakfast at the hotel this morning, then...a full day of sightseeing to include visits to the World War II Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, Viet Nam Memorial, Korean Memorial, MLK Me- morial, and a drive up Embassy Row for a visit to the Washington National Cathedral. Following an included dinner we will go the Kennedy Center which is part of Broadway Center Stage where we will see “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” . Big business means big laughs in this de- lightfully clever lampoon of life on the corporate ladder. A tune-filled comic gem boasting an exhilarating score, the show took Broadway by storm, winning both the Tony Award® for Best Musical and a Pulitzer Prize.

We arrive in Lexington, where we will get settled into our overnight accommodations. Dinner will be in- cluded tonight near our hotel. (D) Day 2: Following breakfast this morning we depart for the brand new Ark Encounter, located in William- stown, Kentucky. The Ark, a sister attraction of the popular Creation Museum, is a Christian evangelistic outreach intended to bring the Ark of Noah’s day to life. The Ark will equip visitors to understand the reality of the events that are recorded in the book of Genesis: The global Flood did happen as an act of God’s judgment. Noah and his family really did build a ship of the same size and dimensions as written in Genesis 6. All of the animals brought by God to Noah did fit inside the Ark. Noah and his fami- ly could care for all of the animals while they were on the Ark. The Flood of Noah’s day was a worldwide catastrophic event that resulted in large-scale human and animal death, leaving behind many of the plant and animal fossils and landforms we see today. God saved Noah and his family and the animals on the Ark, just as He had promised. We’ll enjoy an included lunch before we depart the Ark and head to the Cincinnati, OH area, where we have accommodations for the night. (B,L) Day 3: This morning we travel to the largest Amish and Mennonite settlement in the United States. We enjoy a family style “all you can eat” meal in an Amish home. After lunch we visit Lehman’s Hardware where we step into an 1840’s era barn. We’ll feel like we’ve stepped back 100 years in time. Today, Lehman’s ships old-fashioned, non-electric merchandise all over the world through their catalog and online. Our next stop is P. Graham Dunn Store that offers manufacturing and retailing, in Dalton, OH. Tucked into the manufacturing facility is a 20,000 square foot retail store. We’ll enter the massive two-story lobby where we are greeted by a grand staircase. Large ornate plaques adorn the walls; scripture is carved into the crown molding, and the lobby houses one of Ohio’s largest indoor murals. The store carries over 30,000 products. We spend the next two nights in the heart of Amish country. (B,L) Day 4: This morning we depart on our countryside tour with a local step on guide who will explain the history and culture of the area while we travel deep into the heart of the Amish Farmlands. We visit the Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center, home of the cyclorama mural, Behalt. This afternoon we take time to vis- it the unique shops here in the Amish country, including a cheese shop and bulk food store.

  • Shockey 2018 Catalog 72.Pdf
    TRAVEL TREASURES 2018 SEE AMERICA COAST TO COAST Dear Friends, What a change time makes in modern day travel. Growing up in the 1960’s and 70’s my parents seldom ventured beyond our hometown of Louisville, Ky. On occasion we would visit some relatives in Portland, Tn. but most often Eastview, Ky. was our “vacation” destination of choice. Tere my Dad’s parents lived on a farm with plenty of felds, woods, clean springs to drink water from, and barns to play in. In the evening we could watch westerns on the black and white TV screen. I could only dream of one day possibly getting to go out west. Guess what? Tis year my wife Donna and I did just that. We went on the Black Hills-Grand Tetons-Canadian Rockies Tour in August. Words can’t describe how great this trip was. Te wonder and beauty of God’s grace through this North American creation, what has sometimes been called breathtaking, is no joke. Lots to see and do, if ever possible give this tour a try. It was beyond my dreams. Our desire for you (our Shockey friends) would be to look through this 2018 catalog and maybe fnd a tour of your dreams and become venturous enough to fulfll it. Life is too short not to. Travel is easy, exciting, and relaxing with Shockey Tours. We can provide you with a worry-free vacation, one that ofers you the comfort of having a trained professional guide to care for you within the security of a group, and our professional drivers and comfortable coaches will ensure you the most pleasant trip possible.

Below, CMT President Brian Philips discusses the hosts, performances, criticisms and how country compares to the death of Osama bin Laden. CA: What are you hoping to create each year when you start putting together the awards, and how well do you think you executed that? BP: This year was a bit of an outlier. When Brian Philips you’re doing live television and awards shows, there’s this crazy combination of people and electronics that have to mesh.

  • Shut up and Sing”: the Dixie Chicks and the State of Free Speech in the United States Catherine L
    Communication Law Review Volume 10, Issue 2 “Shut Up and Sing”: The Dixie Chicks and the State of Free Speech in the United States Catherine L. Langford Ph.D., Texas Tech University “…if any opinion is compelled to silence, that opinion may, for aught we can certainly know, be true.” John Stewart Mill, On Liberty, pg. 64 “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to death your right to say it.” Evelyn Beatrice Hall paraphrase of Voltaire In a 2003 article on the Country Music Television website, editorial director Chet Flippo concluded his commentary with a message to lead singer of the Dixie Chicks, “Memo to Natalie Maines: You’re an Artist? And you have a message? Hey, put it in a song. We’ll listen to that. But, otherwise—shut up and sing.” The phrase “shut up and sing” would reverberate across the nation following Maines’ controversial statement at a concert in London. “Just so you know,” Maines shared with the crowd, “we’re on the good side with y’all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we’re ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas” (DemocracyNow!) The band who sold more records than any other female band in the United States within weeks would see their records burned, their music banished from country radio, their concerts canceled in the United States, and their lead singer receive a death threat. Maines’ remark at Shephards Bush marks a break in the public identity of the band. Prior to public criticism about Maines’ comment, the Dixie Chicks were American sweethearts.
