Today’s episode addresses the Elephant in the Room: The recent scandals involving Jack Bishop and his Gravel Road Market events. Dean, Alison, and Pamela felt it necessary to address this out of respect for the fans and everyone involved who have been affected. We discuss the history with Jack Bishop, the status of Little House fan events, the recent happenings involving Jack Bishop’s Gravel Road Market and what were supposed to be cancelled events. Sadly, the cast has had to address further grievances, with more public awareness including an article in People Magazine and a piece on NBC News’s Connecticut affiliate (both linked in the show notes below). After the shocking mishandling of the Connecticut and Lancaster events, we discuss the impact, the aftermath, how the amazing fans have galvanized, and the hopes for what’s ahead in the Little House events universe (it’s gonna be GREAT!). On a lighter note, check out our feature in Buzzfeed! Alison and Dean were featured this week in a great interview, which also featured the Podcast!
