For three decades, the laughter, music, and heartwarming stories of the Bull City Opry Co. have been a beloved cornerstone of the Alton Jubilee. This year, as the Jubilee approaches, we share a bittersweet announcement: after 30 years of enchanting performances, the Bull City Opry Co. will not be taking the stage.

It's hard to imagine the Alton Jubilee without their unique blend of local humor, musical talent, and engaging narratives that so perfectly captured the spirit of our community. The Opry Co. became more than just entertainment at the Jubilee; they were a tradition, a source of shared memories, and a true testament to the creative heart of Alton, KS. We've loved every moment of their rip-roaring comedies, and we will deeply miss their presence.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to every member of the Bull City Opry Co., past and present, who dedicated countless hours to rehearsals, set design, and bringing their characters to life under the prairie sky. Their commitment to entertaining our community has left an indelible mark, and their legacy of laughter and joy will long be remembered.

While we say a fond farewell to a cherished tradition, the Alton PRIDE group is also excited to announce new entertainment for this year's celebration. We're thrilled to introduce a Newlywed Game that promises hilarious insights into local couples, featuring comedian Jamie Campbell, who will keep the good times rolling. We encourage everyone to come out and support these new acts, ensuring the Jubilee remains a vibrant and entertaining event for all ages.

The Alton Jubilee remains a time for community, connection, and celebration. As we embrace these new additions, let's also take a moment to reflect on the incredible joy the Bull City Opry Co. brought us for 30 wonderful years. Thank you, Bull City Opry Co., for the memories – you will truly be missed!
