Clarendon will be put in the spotlight this week when the Journey stagecoach comes to town to begin its final run.
Rick Hamby, who owns the 1880 stagecoach, says a film crew from the CBS Sunday Morning television show is expected be shooting here Thursday and Friday. Online sources report that CBS Sunday Morning has more than 5 million viewers.
In addition, a documentary is being filmed about the Journey, and a photographer will also be part of the crew. Silver Dollar City representatives will be here as well, and Missouri Life magazine will also be covering the stage run to Matador.
Silver Dollar City has also published the Journey Journal newspaper that will be handed out during the stay.
As the Enterprise goes to press, the stagecoach was expected to arrive at the Saints’ Roost Museum Wednesday, May 11, where Hamby and his crew will camp out for two nights.
On Thursday, letters will be exchanged from local fourth and fifth graders for fifth graders from West Plains Elementary back in Missouri, and the public will get to visit the stagecoach at the Museum.
The Journey will then leave Clarendon on Friday on a seven-day trip through the Rolling Plains with Matador as its destination before it is loaded up and returned to Missouri on Saturday, May 21.
When it returns to Missouri, the Journey will be retired and put on loan to Silver Dollar City for display.
