Silver Dollar City

Reuben S. Branson

View from Mt. Branson

Branson is a unique place with a uniquely American story.

Nestled deep in the Ozark Mountains in southern Missouri, this small community has always had a welcoming spirit, a tenacity to make it through tough times, and a deep foundation of faith. These ideals — coupled with a love of craftsmanship and music — shaped the culture of the Ozarks and the Branson area.

It was this culture, set against the natural beauty of the Ozarks, that drew the first “tourists” to the Branson region in the late 1800’s, including an author named Harold Bell Wright. And it was this culture that so many people around the world became fascinated with after reading Wright’s landmark 1907 novel “The Shepherd of the Hills.”

Word spread quickly about Branson and the Ozarks.

By 1912, the settlement was bustling with residents and visitors, and was officially incorporated as a city.

In the past 100 years, Branson has evolved and grown in many ways. Today, Branson is home to more than 10,000 residents and has become Missouri’s top vacation destination, welcoming an estimated 8 million visitors a year. Branson is now surrounded by three lakes and countless attractions and entertainment options – 100+ live shows with 64,000 theatre seats (more than Broadway!), 800 miles of shoreline, 18,000 hotel rooms, 3,000 RV/campsites, 300+ outlet shops and boutiques, 13

championship golf courses, the upscale Branson Landing and our brand new Branson Airport.

But in other ways, Branson has remained unchanged since those early days. The unspoiled Ozark Mountain vistas, wilderness and waterways are as breathtaking as ever. The folks who live here still have a rugged and independent spirit, as well as a deep dedication to God, country and family. And visitors still come from great distances to forget their cares for a while.

In 2012, Branson turns 100, and everyone is invited to a celebration as unique and spectacular as Branson itself: 100 YEARS OF BRANSON, MISSOURI -- a Story of Heritage, Harmony and Hospitality. 100 Days with 100 Ways to Celebrate! April 1- July 9, 2012. A Very Limited Engagement. Playing in 2012 ONLY. Beginning on April 1, 2012 with our Centennial Heritage Museum Opening in Historic Downtown Branson, followed by our Branson Centennial Celebration Show on April 15 (coinciding with gala festivities on April 14 commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the sailing of the Titanic) through Branson’s 100th Fest and Street Dance on July 7.

Throughout the town our community welcomes you to our once-in-a-lifetime celebration. And our wish is that you leave with a rekindled spirit and hope for the next century.

There were German immigrants that founded the wine industry in Missouri in the early 1800’s, which resulted in its wine grape-growing corridor being referred to as the Missouri Rhineland. A little later, Italian immigrants moved into the area and began producing wine. In the mid-1880s, more wine was produced by volume in Missouri than in any other state. Before the Volstead Act enacted Prohibition, Missouri was the second-largest wine-producing state in the country.

Newcomers to Branson may be surprised to find Missouri’s oldest and most awarded winery as one of the town’s most popular attractions. With 12,000 square feet of space, Stone Hill Winery’s Branson location has been receiving and entertaining visitors since 1986. The winery, located at the junction of Highway 165 and Green Mountain Drive (just two blocks south of Hwy. 76), delights thousands of tourists daily with a free, fun-filled hour of touring. Tasting Stone Hill’s many award-winning wines completes the experience.

There is a proud tradition of Missouri winemaking and the tour focuses on telling the story of the vineyards and cellars at the winery’s main headquarters in Hermann, Missouri. Guests are invited to soak in the delightful aromas of maturing sherry and watch the actual bottling process of one of Stone Hill’s famous wines.

Mount Pleasant Winery, with their award-wining wines,

offers another reason to learn more about oenology, the science and study of all aspects of wine and winemaking.

Located on Green Mountain Drive, just east of Stone Hill in Branson, Mount Pleasant is more than just a terrific place to enjoy great wines. It has a wine shop, an art gallery and hands-on bottling experiences all rolled into one.

Visitors to Mount Pleasant have the unique opportunity to bottle their own dessert wine from a specially designed 600-gallon French oak barrel.

Be sure to visit the tasting galleries, where more than wine is on display. The tasting galleries feature the works of renowned Missouri artists — from glass artisans to folk artisans to painters and sculptors. Enjoy the art while sipping your wine.

Lindwedel Wine Garden features wines produced in the state of Missouri. The Lindwedel staff wants to provide “a relaxed atmosphere in which to enjoy some of God’s most precious gifts, for any occasion, or none at all.”

With outdoor decks and picnic areas overlooking a scenic Ozark panorama, indoor sitting rooms, and an event hall for larger groups, the wine garden offers a beautiful location for weddings, parties, reunions and other social gatherings.

Other specialty shops throughout town offer a variety of wines from around the world including Palate in Historic Downtown Branson.

Branson’s artistic side also includes paintings, sculptures and other art forms. Visitors can see many of these displays throughout the area.

February 4-5, Branson will host the national ice carving competition which is the preliminary to the 2014 Olympics, in Sochi, Russia.

Yakov Smirnoff, the famous Russian comedian, displays his own personal oil paintings in his theater lobby, many expressing images of freedom. His “America’s Heart” painting was displayed as a mural in New York City at Ground Zero after 9/11 and portions of that mural are on display throughout the theater.

Andy Williams Gallery of Entertainment is a self-directed tour celebrating Andy’s 75 years in show biz and his passion for collecting art. The lobby of his Moon River Theatre features sculptures by Henry Moore, Willem de Kooning and Jacques Lipschitz along with an impressive collection of Navajo blankets. The lobby also features a Who’s Who of ’60s and ’70s television. Large paintings by Robert Motherwell, Jack Bush, Michael Goldberg and Dan Christianson hang inside the theatre, as well as a collection of 13 antique wedding kimonos from Japan. Andy’s Moon River Grill across the street also features many paintings from his collection.

Just north of the entrance to The Shoppes at Branson Meadows off Gretna Road, a small pavilion shelters a

bronze eagle resting atop a four-sided monument. A tribute to all veterans, the exhibit was dedicated in 1995 by Bob Hope and The Children of the Ozarks.

The centerpiece at Ozark Mountain Bank, in historic downtown Branson, is “Flight,” an impressive sculpture portraying four geese in take-off by artist Gary Price.

Reflections at The Grand Village is painter Thomas Kinkade’s exclusive signature store where visitors can go to admire and purchase his work. The Grand Village also features woodcarvings by Branson artisan Peter Engler.

Inside Branson City Hall, Townsend Godsey’s vintage photographs hang. “These Were The Last,” depicting life in the Ozarks in the 1930s and early ‘40s, and “Stewards of Freedom,” a gold-laden eagle sculpture presented to the city by the National Flag Foundation in 1999.

His “Departure of the Joads” painting was used as the frontispiece for John Steinbeck’s novel “The Grapes of Wrath,” and his lithographs are part of the museum’s permanent collection. Steve Miller’s murals in the C of O Library are well worth seeing.

The Veterans Memorial Museum is home to the world’s largest war memorial bronze sculpture. It is 70 feet long, weighs 15 tons and portrays the likenesses of 50 actual combat soldiers, representing each state, by sculptor Fred Hoppe, Jr. The museum also features a variety of other sculptures and paintings, including “Red-Tails Strike Again” by artist Mike Hagel.

Just north of Branson is Bonniebrook, home of famous artist, illustrator, sculptor, writer and creator of the Kewpie Doll, the late Rose O’Neill. On the grounds are two of O’Neill’s imaginative Sweet Monster sculptures, “Embrace of the Tree” and “The Fauness.” The Kewpie Museum houses O’Neill’s original works.

The Great Passion Play in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, features thousands of works of art, in diverse mediums, dating from as early as the ninth century in its Sacred Arts Center. The Christ-only art gallery has dozens of renditions of our Savior’s life on earth. It is the site of the largest

Christ memorial statue in the United States, the Christ of the Ozarks, which stands over 66 feet tall and overlooks the quaint Ozarks town.

Much of the history of the Ozarks can be traced through the crafts of local residents. For generations, residents of the Ozark Mountains made what they needed to survive in the hills. This included quilts, pottery, baskets, glassware, wrought iron and more.

Today, craftsmanship is an integral part of the area’s culture and is celebrated with festivals, events and permanent exhibitions. Plumb Nellie Days and Autumn Daze are held downtown each spring and fall, showcasing arts & crafts created by area residents. At Silver Dollar City theme park, visitors can watch craftsmen demonstrate the arts of basket weaving, glass blowing, ironworking and woodcarving, among others. Each fall at Silver Dollar City, the National Harvest Festival brings in dozens of additional artists and craftsmen to demonstrate their skills. Guests can purchase one-of-a-kind heirloom-quality items made by the artisans.

Old-time crafts can also be seen at the Shepherd of the Hills Historic Homestead where turn-of-the-century works of traditional art are on display daily.

Within minutes of the bright lights of Branson, outdoor enthusiasts enjoy hiking, biking, camping, canoeing, kayaking, horseback riding, trout and bass fishing, hunting, trap and skeet shooting, spelunking, rock climbing and recreational and competitive sporting activities. Area public parks, beaches, resorts, campgrounds, forests and recreational facilities abound.

The Branson/Lakes Area has three pristine lakes with hundreds of miles of natural shoreline and more than 100,000 acres of city, state, federal and privately-owned forest, conservation, wildlife, wilderness and park areas available to visitors.

Included in the Branson area on Hwy. 76 W, guests can hike the trail at the 1,574-acre Ruth and Paul Henning Conservation Area. There are three hiking trails, a cave and a view of Lake Taneycomo within the 130-acre Lakeside Forest Wilderness Area on Fall Creek Road.

Missouri’s 1.5-million acre Mark Twain National Forest offers guests a wealth of outdoor recreational opportunities in and around the nearby towns of Kimberling City and Forsyth.

Topography The Ozark Mountain terrain of caves, streams, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, grasslands, forests, steep rocky hillsides, bottomland and glades make up the breathtaking topography of the Branson/Lakes Area.

Balds Although hardwood forests cover much of the Branson/ Lakes Area, one of the most intriguing features is the “glades,” frequently referred to as “balds” by locals because of their characteristically sparse terrain of semidesert soil, ledge-rock, scattered cedar trees and prairie plants amidst rolling seas of oak and hickory trees. You’ll most often see glades on the south- and west-facing slopes of hills where intense and prolonged sunlight coupled with fires started by lightning or by Native Americans and early settlers have kept them relatively clear of trees.

Bald Knobbers The area’s balds served as important meeting spots for the 1880’s vigilante justice gangs that organized in Taney County after many years of lawlessness following the Civil War. Started by upstanding citizens, the Bald Knobbers as they became known, concealed their identities for fear of retribution by criminals and eventually lost popular support due to their increasingly ruthless and seemingly indiscriminate tactics.

You can still see “Baldknobbers” in Branson, the musical instrument-toting kind, at the Baldknobbers’ Jamboree show and as characters in the Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Drama, both of which are well past their 50th year of bringing music and entertainment to Branson audiences.

Payne Stewart Golf Club

Some of the Best Golf in the Midwest!

Branson, Missouri is quickly becoming one of the most popular golf destinations in the United States.

There are now more than a dozen courses for golfers of every caliber, and there’s not a better way to enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Ozark Mountains. And these wonderful golf courses are all within “driving range” of Branson’s shows.

One of the newest courses, designed by Bobby Clampett, The Payne Stewart Golf Club is an 18-hole course named for the late, great golf pro Payne Stewart.

He was from Springfield, Missouri, and the course honors his character with plaques at every hole.

Branson Creek was named a “Top 100 in America” by Golf Digest, this 18-hole championship course has been described as “playing two different courses” because of the elevation difference; the front nine plays the valley, the back nine plays the ridge.

Many courses stay open year-round with reduced rates (November through March) and discounts for afternoon play during hot weather, for multiple players and in combination with lodging packages. Most of these courses can accommodate tournaments and corporate special events, and offer private instructions by appointment.

Ladies love golfing in Branson, too. Several of the courses are shorter, and many are designed for all skill levels, including forward tees, greens with open fronts, few forced carries and multiple tee boxes. The Branson Area Golf Council is a great source of information about the area’s courses. Visit www.golfbranson.com.

With an outstanding list of honors and awards to their credit by Golf Digest, Golf Week, and Travel and Leisure Golf magazine among others, the Branson area’s thirteen courses are among the Midwest’s finest. Integrating inspired course designs by Tom Fazio and Jack Nicklaus with rugged Ozark Mountain topography, these courses offer scenic and challenging play for beginners and avid golfers alike. Players can expect to find lush Bermuda and Zoysia fairways and tees, bent grass greens, plenty of waterfalls, lakes, creeks and bunker features, and a variety of open and tree-lined fairways.

Additional golf courses in the area include: Kimberling Golf Course: Kimberling City 417-739-4370 • Kings River Golf Course: Shell Knob 417-858-6330 Oak Tree Golf Club: Forsyth 417-546-5454 • Don Gardner Par 3 Golf Course: Branson 417-337-8510

Lake Taneycomo and Table Rock Lake Dam Bull Shoals Lake

Jet skiing

3 Pristine Lakes The Branson/Lakes Area is well known for its three pristine lakes: Table Rock, Taneycomo and Bull Shoals.

Water sports enthusiasts can swim, water ski, wakeboard, tube, boat, sail, scuba dive, jet ski, parasail, kayak and, of course, fish. The lakes’ waters never freeze, welcoming visitors’ activities year-round. All three lakes offer resort lodging, camping and picnicking facilities and easy access to the water at a number of public marinas and boat docks/launch areas. Several commercial docks offer fishing guide services and a wide range of boat rentals including ski boats, pontoon boats, bass boats and wave runners. Many of the resorts on the three lakes offer guide service, rental boats and private dock facilities for visitors’ boats as well.

Table Rock Lake Accessible from multiple public and privately-owned locations just minutes to the west of Branson, Table Rock Lake has been delighting visitors and residents alike since it was formed by the damming of the White River in 1959. While visitors can find dozens of places to stay and play along the banks of Table Rock Lake, the area’s commercial developments have placed a high priority on preserving the scenic beauty of the natural shoreline, bluffs, forests and wildlife.

Fishing Table Rock Lake Missouri’s deepest (200 feet) and clearest reservoir, Table Rock is nationally recognized as a top bass fishing lake. Large numbers of largemouth, smallmouth, Kentucky spotted bass and white bass thrive in its diverse underwater structure and immense forage base. Bass, crappie and large bluegill are caught in abundance. Catfish of all sizes also roam the lake bottom. For a seasonal fishing guide to Table Rock Lake, see page 40. Many area resorts and marinas can hook you up with an experienced fishing guide, and there are dozens of regional and local tournaments held on Table Rock Lake each year.

Table Rock Lake Facts • 43,000 to 52,300* acres of surface area (* depending on the water level) • 857 miles of shoreline • Table Rock Dam and Powerhouse completed in 1959 • The dam is 6,423 feet long and 252 feet high.

Fishing Lake Taneycomo The uppermost portion of the lake is reserved for artificial lures only such as tiny jigs and crankbaits. These headwaters are also ideal for fly fishing with flies that imitate the freshwater shrimp and other natural bait that trout feed upon.

The locals say the best way to catch trout is by drifting salmon eggs or angleworms. Affix the eggs or worms to a small hook and cast into holes with an ultra light rod and reel. This method used from a drifting boat or from a dock will yield a nice stringer of trout.

Lower Lake Taneycomo harbors a well-kept secret. The downstream area closer to Forsyth offers considerably warmer water and many other species of fish, making Taneycomo a versatile and challenging destination for anglers who are aware of its changing character from one end to the other. Fishing guides are available to help you make the most of your Lake Taneycomo experience.

Table Rock State Park (417) 334-4704 www.mostateparks.com/tablerock.htm Lake Taneycomo Accessible from many points, including downtown Branson, Rockaway Beach, Forsyth, Powersite, Hollister and the Fall Creek area, Lake Taneycomo was formed with the completion of Powersite Dam in 1913. It was originally a section of the White River, and although Taneycomo is now technically a lake, it retains the look and feel of a river. When Table Rock Dam was completed at Taneycomo’s headwaters in 1959, the nature of the lake changed. Taneycomo’s water now comes from the bottom of Table Rock Lake, making it a cold water lake.

The cold, clear water, stocked annually with approximately 750,000 rainbow trout, makes Taneycomo a world-class trout fishery.

Historic Downtown Branson is located just east of US 65 along the shores of Lake Taneycomo. This is where Branson got its start around 1888 and the city will celebrate its Centennial in 2012. Fires and floods couldn’t stop the fledgling community from growing and developing along the banks of the White River. The community was rebuilt more than once to provide for the needs of the area and its citizens.

Today, Historic Downtown Branson is reminiscent of a century-old village with its preserved and restored building facades, tree-lined brick sidewalks and Victorian lamp posts with hanging floral baskets. The sidewalks feature memorial markers that bear testimony to some of the city’s favorite citizens. A magnificent mural recreates the buildings which once stood along Commercial Street.

Across the street from the Hot Hits Theatre, the Historic Owen Theatre has been recently renovated to welcome new acts and entertainers once again.

A variety of affordable shops and stores are all within an easy stroll. There are free trolley rides throughout this historic downtown with the flavor of an old-time Main Street, a mid-20th century train and depot, vintage horsedrawn carriages, live entertainment, Ozarks music, and choices of restaurants ranging from the eclectic Table 22 to the downhome Farmhouse restaurant. Fudge, homemade candy, snacks and more are all within easy walking

distance. The 1906 restored railroad depot is now home to Branson Scenic Railway, which offers rides through the countryside in authentic 1950’s luxury passenger cars.

Visitors from near and far will find a unique shopping opportunity in the historic downtown more than 80 retail establishments. Dick’s 5 & 10, the Historic Downtown Branson landmark, celebrated 50 years in 2011. It is a one-of-a-kind retail store that offers hours of shopping and browsing entertainment for all ages and is still familyowned and operated. A trip to Dick’s is a shopping experience that is different from any other with over 50,000 select items and several unique collections to see.

Lake Taneycomo forms the eastern and southern borders of the downtown district. Its cold waters were created with the coming of Table Rock Dam more than 50 years ago and it provides a perfect environment for rainbow and brown trout. A marina near the lakefront campground serves trout anglers and recreational boaters all year ’round. Lake Taneycomo is a premier fishing locale that offers visitors the opportunity to spend a relaxing day sightseeing or fishing on the water.

Downtown Branson is rich in lore with 19 historic sites.

A self-guided tour map is available by dropping in at the Downtown Branson Main Street Association at 112 W. College, calling 417-334-1548 or visiting the website at DowntownBranson.org.

Always feels like coming home.

The Baldknobbers

A Marvelous Beginning For more than 100 years, the Branson/Lakes Area has been attracting visitors to the Ozarks, lured by natural beauty and outdoor recreational activities. The first family attraction to draw visitors was Marvel Cave (beneath the property where Silver Dollar City theme park is currently located). First called Marble Cave because its limestone walls were thought to be marble, the cave was described by geologists in the 1860s and explored in the 1880s by adventurers who lowered themselves on ropes 200 feet into the main chamber.

Scientific American magazine described the cave in 1885, and word of the natural wonder spread throughout the continent. Canadian mining expert William Henry Lynch read of the cave, purchased it sight unseen, traveled to the Ozarks and, with his two daughters, opened the cave for public tours in 1894.

On the advice of his physician, minister Harold Bell Wright traveled from his home in Kansas to the Ozarks in 1898 to seek a more suitable climate for his health. He stayed at the homestead of John and Anna Ross, whom Wright later immortalized as the characters Old Matt and Aunt Mollie in his best-selling novel “The Shepherd of the Hills.” Published in 1907, the book told the story of the self-reliant and stoic hill people he encountered in the area and of the wooded valleys, the mountain “balds” and the

incredible cave he had seen.

The book was a huge success. Millions of copies were sold in several languages, and four movies were filmed, including a 1941 version starring John Wayne, in his first Technicolor film. Wright’s novel has become the fourth most widely read book in publishing history.

Following the publication of “The Shepherd of the Hills,” local residents began noticing a great influx of visitors. Many came to the Ross homestead. The Rosses eventually sold their homestead to Miss Lizzie McDaniel of Springfield, who began presenting the very first dramatization of Wright’s story, right on the front lawn.

When Ozark Beach Dam (also called Powersite Dam) was built in 1913 near Forsyth and Lake Taneycomo was created, the area became quite a haven for outdoor enthusiasts who came to fish, boat, swim, hunt and enjoy the rugged beauty of the Ozark Mountains. Travelers flocked to the Ozarks on the newly-built White River Line railroad that stopped in the neighboring town of Hollister.

1950 - 1969 TV Shows and Hydroelectric Power The area first gained national prominence in the entertainment industry in 1954 when Red Foley, a legendary country singer with 38 top ten hits, moved to Springfield, Missouri, from Nashville, Tennessee, to

host “Ozark Jubilee,” one of the first successful network television shows.

In 1959, the area was changed forever with the completion of Table Rock Dam. This brought much needed power to the area, spurring the growth of many area businesses. Until 1959, Rockaway Beach, located just a few miles east of Branson on the banks of Lake Taneycomo, had long been a playground for America’s rich and famous with movie stars and U.S. presidents among those who retreated to the small resort community.

Construction of a dam created Table Rock Lake, nationally renowned for bass fishing and water sports. In addition, the cold water from the bottom of Table Rock Lake that was now flowing into Lake Taneycomo changed it into one of the country’s most popular trout fishing lakes.

Branson’s First Families of Entertainment Baldknobbers Jamboree In 1959, Mabe brothers Bob, Bill, Lyle, and Jim began performing twice a week in a converted roller skating rink on the Lake Taneycomo waterfront in downtown Branson.

The brothers combined popular country tunes with Ozark Mountain music and threw in a dash of comedy to entertain audiences. In 1969, the Baldknobbers, as the brothers called themselves, built a theater on Highway 76, making their act the longest continuously running show.

Shepherd of the Hills Homestead & Outdoor Drama A few miles east of Silver Dollar City, Dr. Bruce Trimble and his wife, Mary, began staging an outdoor pageant in 1959 based on the best-selling novel “The Shepherd of the Hills.” The amphitheater was actually located on the site where the models for author Harold Bell Wright’s characters lived. Under Mary, her son Mark and his wife Lea’s direction, the production grew into one of the nation’s most popular outdoor historical dramas.

In 1985, Gary Snadon (school teacher and former cast member of the outdoor drama) along with his wife, Pat, purchased the homestead. They added the 230-foot tall inspiration tower in 1989, and in 1990, had the Morgan County Church relocated to the homestead to signify the churches where Wright once preached.

Today, the Shepherd of the Hills is the longest-running outdoor drama in the world and boasts a cast of more than 80 actors, dozens of animals, pyrotechnical displays and authentic props and sets. The Sons of the Pioneers perform in a chuckwagon dinner show on the Homestead grounds.

Silver Dollar City In 1960, the long-term plans of Hugo and Mary Herschend came to fruition with the opening of a small,

old-time Ozarks village attraction atop the long-popular Marvel Cave, about 10 miles west of Branson on Hwy. 76.

They called it Silver Dollar City, and it offered an 1880s steam train ride, demonstrating craftsmen, themed shops and music. The first year, it drew 125,000 people.

Following Hugo’s death, Mary and her sons Jack and Peter continued to direct the growth of the family business, and by 1963, Silver Dollar City was Missouri’s top tourist attraction. In 1967, Silver Dollar City received national exposure when the popular “Beverly Hillbillies” television show filmed five episodes at the park.

The company later expanded to include other popular Branson attractions: White Water water park, the Showboat Branson Belle and Celebration City theme park. Today, Silver Dollar City has grown into a multimillion dollar entertainment complex with thrill rides and attractions, shows, dining facilities, dozens of musicians and an evening music show with a professional cast. The park also hosts six themed festivals each year.

In 1998, Silver Dollar City was given the Applause Award by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions as the top theme park in the world. The familyowned company, Herschend Family Entertainment, currently owns, operates or partners in 19 properties in nine states.

In 2004, Jack and Peter Herschend were inducted into the Hall of Fame of the amusement industry’s largest organization worldwide, the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions.

Presleys’ Country Jubilee In 1963, the Presley family began a music show at The Underground Theater near Talking Rocks Cavern in Kimberling City with special guests from “Ozark Jubilee,” including Red Foley. They made history in 1967 when they built the first music theater on Hwy. 76. Today, Presleys’ Country Jubilee stars four generations of Presley family members including three original members of the show: Lloyd Presley and his sons Gary and Steve. Together with other cast members, they perform a variety of musical styles on a wide range of instruments, and do comedy skits.

Today, Branson has more than twice that many, due in part to that turning-point proclamation.

Many agree that “60 Minutes” launched Branson into a new era of growth by revealing to the world the wonderful playground of fun and entertainment this small southwest Missouri town had become. Performers, visitors, developers and new residents flocked to see what was going on.

Throughout the 1990s, Branson not only saw tremendous growth in the number of theaters, but the number of hotels, motels, Bed & Breakfasts, lakeside resorts, restaurants, attractions, shopping malls, condominium and housing developments, service businesses, and healthcare facilities grew proportionally as well.

SAFE BOATING TIPS Tip # 1 Grab a life jacket and wear it. Accidents happen too fast on the water to reach for a stowed life jacket.

Don’t just carry a life jacket, wear it. Children 14 and under are required to wear a life when on board in Missouri. It is also a good idea to wear one while on the dock. Don’t be a statistic, 90% of those who drown while boating were not wearing a life jacket. Encourage your friends and family to put on a life jacket. The new styles are comfortable and lightweight. Life jackets only work if you wear them.

Tip# 2 It doesn’t take much alcohol to make a boater lose his/her awareness of the surroundings, cause operator

inattention, or careless/reckless operation. For those affected by alcohol or drugs, pick a sober operator. Adjust your speed to the conditions. Watch for bad weather. Look to the west for big wind shifts or listen to an AM radio station for static. If you have a marine radio, switch to the weather channel. Make sure your boat complies with federal requirements. For a FREE vessel safety check by a qualified Coast Guard Auxiliary, contact Tom at 417-338-6093.

Tip# 3 Attend a safe boating class. You will benefit even if you are a seasoned boater. When you pass this class most insurance companies will reduce your premium. To sign up for classes call Gibson Tech at 417-272-3271. If you were born after January 1, 1984 in Missouri you are required to pass a safe boating class to operate a boat.

Tip# 4 Before leaving in your boat, file a float plan. While fueling close all hatches, doors and portholes. If you use portable tanks take them off the boat to be fueled. Before docking or undocking, plan the procedure in advance.

Be aware of your wake because you are responsible for injuries or damage you cause. Because the Coast Guard recognizes personal water craft (PWC) as full fledged boats, they must adhere to the same rules and regulations as larger boats.

Are you planning an RV or camping trip? If you are, you’ll be happy to know that Branson offers a variety of camping sites and RV parks for you to enjoy. You may want to stay lakeside or on top of the Ozark Mountains, but wherever you stay, you are just minutes away from some great live shows and exciting attractions. Neon and nature beckons, so what are you waiting for?

You can enjoy the comforts of a full-service 20/30/50amp RV site or unplug and reconnect with your family out in the backwoods near one of three pristine lakes in the area. Most of the area’s RV parks and campground sites are located on or just minutes away from Lake Taneycomo and Table Rock Lake and are close to nearby Branson shows and attractions.

Many offer WiFi and Internet access to help you keep up with emails from family and friends and most are very petfriendly. Branson/Lakes Area RV parks and campgrounds boast a Good Sam award-winner and are often featured in Trailer Life. RVing is definitely a family affair. Kids, parents and grandparents benefit from time spent together, so come to Branson where there is something for everyone!
