Join us on October 12 for the 2024 Annual Meeting and to hear Peter Herschend deliver this year's My Missouri Lecture.
Speaker
Peter Herschend is the co-founder of Herschend Entertainment Corporation (formerly Silver Dollar City, Inc). The Herschend family business started in Southwest Missouri with a hole in the ground called Marvel Cave. To give cave visitors more to do, Peter and his brother Jack built an old Ozarks Village named Silver Dollar City - now USA TODAY'S and Tripadvisor's number one theme park in America. Today, Herschend Enterprises is the nation's largest family-owned entertainment company.
Please join us for a conversation to learn how Herschend’s Missouri upbringing has shaped his life and career.
