In the program, they are still listed as a segment sponsor, and the commercial that they ran for the Cracker Barrel segment was promoting Blake Shelton's new CD that is available at Cracker Barrel. <br /><br />I will say that there has been some varied sponsorships lately of some of the segments but that may be because of the double shows on Friday and Saturday night and coming up with segment sponsors on those 2nd shows.

The cost for these added security measures was listed as $500,000. In today's world, this unfortunately is a good thing considering what has happened at concerts in various parts of the world. I know that there have been a few issues at the Opry House with fans running up on stage, even with the security that they have. I hope they get the system down pretty well as on the nights that there are two Opry shows, I can see issues getting those attending the 2nd show into the auditorium before the show begins. This could be especially true at the Ryman where there is limited space. Byronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610237116677181633noreply@blogger.com
