Not all is well atop Walton’s Mountain.

This weekend, several members of the beloved television series “The Waltons” are due to make their way to Western Pennsylvania for a meet-and-greet event, traveling back and forth between Edinburg, Lawrence County and Portersville. However, concerned fans have raised alarms on the event’s organizer, Jack Bishop and Gravel Road Markets LLC.

“The person running that company ... is a con man who is bilking people out of money and lining his pockets at the expense of the fans of classic TV shows,” wrote Connecticut resident Jill Nichols, in a letter to the Butler Eagle.

Nichols’ concerns are based on her experiences at a 50th anniversary meet-and-greet event for fans of another classic TV show, “Little House on the Prairie,” which occurred in Farmington, Conn. According to Nichols, the venue for the event was moved three times, pulling out of locations in Watertown and Hartford, before they settled on a facility that could not handle the amount of people who had bought tickets.

This led to excruciatingly long lines for those who wanted to meet cast members from the popular 1970s show.

“Between 1,300 and 1,600 tickets were sold for just Saturday at a venue that comfortably accommodates possibly 500, from what I’ve been told,” Nichols said. “I was one of the lucky ones from what I’ve seen, because I did get to meet cast members. Some folks waited four or five hours and met nobody. Not the fault of the cast. They were awesome and were trying to help the fans in attendance.”

In addition, a promised dinner with the cast, for those who had paid extra, did not materialize in the way that was advertised.

“I paid $208 for an ‘intimate’ dinner with the cast to include steak and other high promises,” Nichols said. “No staff was on site to assist with the dinner, in a tent outside in the dark. The dinner time listed on my ticket was 6:30. After 8 p.m. in the dark, we were still not called for food. There was nothing to drink but half-size water bottles which ran out. There was no program. There was a brief speech and some videos, then they cut it because nobody could see or hear it.”

Two days later, Gravel Road hosted another “Little House” fan event in Lancaster, Pa., where many of the same organizational miscues reportedly took place.

Nichols is far from alone. She and others have formed a Facebook group for those who attended one of the “Little House” events. There, they have shared their negative experiences and tried to warn others, including the Waltons cast members, to not do business with Gravel Road Markets.

“There is also a large contingent of individuals who paid $241 for a photo with the cast which was supposed to be printed on site, that they still have not received,” Nichols said.

Eventually, 16 cast members from “Little House” put their names to a letter in which they publicly dissociated with Bishop and Gravel Road Markets, and refused to work with the company ever again. The four remaining fan events on the schedule were canceled. This letter was posted on the Instagram page of cast member Melissa Gilbert.

“Effective immediately we ... will no longer be affiliated with any events produced by Jack Bishop’s Gravel Road Markets,” the letter reads. “This decision was not made lightly, but with compassion, concern, and great respect for the well-being of our multi-generational fans.”

The incident has now made national headlines, with a recently published article in People magazine. To add insult to injury, fans of the show reportedly traveled to Keystone, S.D., over the weekend of Sept. 27-29, unaware the “Little House” event planned for that weekend had already been canceled. The cast sent out another letter blasting Bishop and the company and accusing him of not properly informing fans of the cancellation by listing the two remaining scheduled events — in Branson, Mo., and Corsicana, Texas — as “sold out” instead of “canceled” on Eventbrite.

“Declarations of termination by the cast and rightsholder should have triggered public cancellations of all his Little House events. They didn’t,” the letter wrote.

In a statement to the Butler Eagle, the company denied they failed to give notice for the cancellation of later events.

“We sent out emails through Eventbrite for ticket holders. Sometimes those emails go to junk or trash folders,” the company wrote. “You must remember, we did not cancel the event per se. The cast did and left ticket holders ... in a lurch. Refunds have been started through Eventbrite and can be requested for the cancelled events.”

On Eventbrite, the two remaining events now read “canceled.”

“The Waltons” cast members, some of whom joined the Facebook group, were made aware of the concerns raised by those burned at the “Little House” events in Connecticut and Pennsylvania. However, they are still pressing ahead with the scheduled event in Western Pennsylvania this weekend.

“We are planning to be there and can’t wait to see y’all,” reads a news release issued by the cast last month. “While we are concerned, we are not canceling this event. Most importantly, we want to support Waltons fans who have already taken time off, made hotel reservations, and invested funds to attend the Waltons Fall Fest.”

The release goes on to assure potential attendees that the planned events in Portersville and Edinburg are smaller in scale than the “Little House” events in Connecticut and Pennsylvania that went wrong.

“We have received confirmation that the number of people attending is manageable for all of us and that many other concerns are addressed,” the release reads.

“We were able to verify how many tickets have been sold to our upcoming event, so we feel fairly certain our event is far smaller than the ‘Little House’ 50th Anniversary events have been,” said “The Waltons” cast member Kami Cotler.

In addition to “The Waltons” and “Little House on the Prairie,” Gravel Road Markets has organized fan events for the 1970s series “The Dukes of Hazzard” and the 1978 movie “Grease.”

In a message to the Butler Eagle, Gravel Road Markets denied all allegations that have been made against them, including allegations from within the Facebook group that they failed to pay staff members at their events, such as their catering company and sound engineer.

“All staff were always paid for events. Photo links were sent to all customers that purchased them. All accusations are unfounded,” wrote the company. “We have been producing events for ‘The Waltons’ for three years and have had a tremendous working relationship with them and their fans. We invite you to come out and see the event for yourself.”

Unlike with the “Little House” event in Connecticut, plans for the October Waltons event have remained unchanged from when the event was first announced in June.

Cast members will hold meet-and-greet sessions at Cheeseman Farm in Portersville on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 3 p.m. In addition, the Gatherings Banquet Center in Edinburg will host a dinner with cast members on Friday at 7 p.m. and a breakfast with cast members on Sunday at 9 a.m.
