Dallas 30th Anniversary Southfork Ranch Chaos

I must be older than I realize. How can it be 30 years since Dallas became a TV phenomenon?

This past weekend people paid up to a $1000 to attend a Dallas anniversary event at Southfork Ranch. Which is not in Dallas, but is north of Dallas in a suburb called Parker.

Those buying a ticket were hoping to get to hobnob with Larry Hagman aka J.R. Ewing, Patrick Duffy aka Bobby Ewing and Linda Gray aka Sue Ellen Ewing, among others.

But disaster struck at the main event on Saturday, that being a barbecue and cast reunion. Hundreds of gatecrashers crashed past the gate you see in the photo. Security was lax. The event turned into a chaotic disaster.

Those responsible for the mess are trying to work out a way to reimburse those who paid for an event that didn't deliver.

It all sounds like a typical Ewing family barbecue. Those always turned into a chaotic disaster.
