Dollywood’s Mystery Mine And Knoxville’s Costco
Michael Silence has two wonderful links on his blog today. The first is the Ebay auction to win a ride on Dollywood’s Mystery Mine and the second is a possible announcement that a Costco store could be coming to Knoxville.
More details of the ebay auction:
The starting bid is US $500.00. All of the proceeds of the final sale price will support The Dollywood Foundation and the winner will receive:
Tickets to Dollywood for the winner and a guest for Friday, April 13, 2007 and Saturday, April 14, 2007.
Participation and VIP seating for the Media Day activities at Dollywood at 9:00 AM on Friday, April 13, 2007
1 of 56 seats on the first official ride cycle of Mystery Mine at Dollywood on Friday, April 13, 2007

A framed display featuring an image of your ride, a signed photo with Dolly and other Mystery Mine memorabilia to commemorate your historical place as one of the first official riders of the Mystery Mine.
More details of the Costco link:
Costco is currently looking at the possibility of expanding into more than 300 different areas across the US and is planning to open between 30-40 new stores a year. Knoxville is on the list of places that Costco is considering and hopefully they will view the Knoxville and surrounding markets as a worthwhile investment. Having moved from a state where there are an abundance of Costco stores, I can tell you that they are a wonderful change from the boredom of Sam’s Club. Plus, Knoxville residents have the added bonus of Costco bringing new competition to Sam’s Club. Then we’ll only need to add a BJ’s Wholesale Club and Knoxville will be all set.
Thank you Mr. Silence for doing a wonderful job in the blogosphere as usual and for bringing these links to our attention.
