Actress Melissa Gilbert criticized this year’s 50th-anniversary events for the iconic 70s television show Little House on the Prairie.

Gilbert stated that Gravel Road Markets, a company owned by anniversary event organizer Jack Bishop, advertised that she was a co-producer of various 50th-anniversary events, calling their actions “appalling.”

After she attended the Little House on the Prairie 50th Anniversary Cast Reunion and Festival in March 2024 in Simi Valley, California, Gilbert was unable to attend the rest of the tour.

“Immediately, I knew there was an issue because [Bishop] was promoting that I was going to be at all of these different places, and I wasn’t,” the actress told People. “Fans were buying tickets to see me, and I knew I wouldn’t be there.”

“I started posting on social media saying, ‘Guys,...

The classic historical drama Little House on the Prairie has many fans, complete with fan-events and gatherings. However, many of the stars of the series have taken issue with a former event promoter for the show. The cast-members have even taken to social media to reassure and explain the issue to fans.

The Series Had Many Events Planned Around The Country

Little House on the Prairie is an American Western historical drama, loosely based on the Little House on the Prairie books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Michael Landon famously played the Ingalls patriarch, Charles Ingalls, with Laura herself played by actress Melissa Gilbert.

Originally running from 1974 to 1983, the series continues to have its fans, complete with events. However, such fan gatherings recently sparked controversy involving an event planner.

Melissa Gilbert, Karen Grassle and Alison Arngrim are among nearly 20 Little House on the Prairie stars who have called out a recently terminated promoter of fan gatherings for the beloved TV series for “taking advantage” of people by continuing to market cancelled events.

We recently shared that many of the surviving cast members of Little House on the Prairie cut ties with the event planning company Jack Bishop’s Gravel Road Markets LLC, after the company produced a number of 50th anniversary events. They wrote in a joint statement, “We have instructed Mr. Bishop to remove our names and likenesses from all sales and marketing assets supporting his scheduled Little House on the Prairie 50th anniversary events in Lyle, Tennessee; Keystone, South Dakota; Branson, Missouri; and Corsicana, Texas.” It seems that the drama continues as the September 14 event in Lyle, Tennessee continued on without the cast. Cast member Dean Butler took to social media to apologize to the fans and give an explanation, as well as thank the owners of the event location for doing the best they could under bad circumstances. He said, in part, “On behalf of the entire cast of Little House on the Prairie,...

This news comes just as a new Halloween movie is being put together, which brings back Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode.
