Daniel O’Donnell

Jimmy Fortune

Welcome to Branson!

Spring and Summer in Branson is a welcome break from everyday life. I have lived in Branson since 1994, and I couldn’t think of a better place to call home. I love welcoming folks to Branson… some who are here for the first time and some who treat Branson like a second home.

This is also the time of year when we remind you of the winners of our annual The Best of Branson contest. In 2023, we had over 539,000 votes cast from fans of Branson area businesses in over 97 countries vote in our contest throughout the summer. That is more than fifteen times the voter turnout from our first year in 2018, so you can see how popular this contest has become in just six short years! To be a winner in the annual Best of Branson contest is a true accomplishment!

The 2024 contest nominations start in late May with voting held throughout the summer months. For complete details, be sure to visit TheBestofBranson.com and sign-up for notifications, so you will be ready to nominate and vote in this year’s contest.

We also want to suggest that you visit our awesome winners while you are in the Branson area, so you can see for yourself while they were voted the BEST!

THE MANSION FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

JIMMY FORTUNE

The Mansion Theatre for the Performing Arts is the largest live concert venue in the small Ozark Mountains town of Branson, and is home to country artists and lots of others to appeal to all ages.

It’s a fitting moniker that Branson, an Ozark Mountains town in southwest Missouri, is often called the “Live Entertainment Capital of the World.” It is home to nearly 50 theaters and features more than 80 live performances annually. And amid this spirited entertainment scene, one name sparkles brightly - The Mansion Theatre for the Performing Arts. Open since 1993, The

VOTED GOLD BEST CONCERT VENUE SIX TIMES

Mansion Theatre for the Performing Arts was built to accommodate the stage needs of the legendary Wayne Newton (Mr. Entertainment himself). Since then, it has been home to a full star-studded line-up. “It has defined theatrical excellence without compromise,” said Kristy Adams, a spokeswoman for the theater. “We are the perfect setting for festivals and celebrations of all types, and we are honored to have been voted Branson’s “Best Concert Venue” for the sixth consecutive year.

Standing tall as the largest live concert venue in the area, The Mansion Theatre proudly showcases an impressive lineup of performers, and it is a platform where diversity in the arts flourishes, too. From Broadway extravaganzas to classic country

performances, from heartwarming Christmas shows to faith festivals, The Mansion Theatre genuinely offers something for all ages.

A glimpse at their 2024 lineup reveals the caliber of talent that graces their stage. The iconic Gene Watson, Jimmy Fortune, The Bellamy Bothers, The Gatlin Brothers, Irish sensation Daniel O’Donnell and new this year, National Touring sensation Bohemian Queen- a tribute to Queen as well as Retromania Live- a five day 80’s music vacation. PraiseFest has dates scheduled for March and October of 2024. These almost always sell out and feature gospel music names like the Cathedrals Family Reunion, Ernie Haase & Signature

Sound, Booth Brothers, 4Him, and the Brooklyn Tabernacle Singers, just to name a few.

The theater has hosted many legendary acts, including The Oak Ridge Boys, America, Vicki Lawrence, Michael Bolton, Kenny G., Amy Grant, Home Free, Jason Crabb, the late Natalie Cole and the late Kenny Rogers, Johnny Mathis, Bob Newhart, Tim Conway, Sara Evans, and more. The theater is where music legends, comedy icons, and entertainers of all genres and ages have left their indelible mark.

The Mansion Theatre is a true destination. Its lobby welcomes guests with a grand staircase, soaring ceiling, and exhibits that showcase the wardrobes, books, shoes, and awards of the artists who have graced its stage. The exterior boasts graceful steeds in bronze, architectural columns, and dedicated lighting.Tales of unforgettable nights under the dazzling lights, of audience members moved to tears or fits of laughter and of artists who have found a second home within its walls. These stories serve as a testament to the enduring legacy and impact this theater has had on countless lives.

The Mansion Theatre for the Performing Arts is not just a theater; it stands as a beautiful reminder of the magic of live performance and continues to captivate audiences, old and new, with each passing year.

For more information, you can stop by the theatre located at 189 Expressway Lane in Branson or you can call them directly at 417-335-2000. You can also buy tickets online at their website, TheMansionTheatre.com

FIND YOUR DREAM HOME

In the next few months, the investment real-estate firm of Lightfoot & Youngblood will keep continually extending its reach beyond Branson, and will now be able to market to buyers and sellers in the recreational paradise known as Arkansas.

Lightfoot & Youngblood, which currently markets to buyers nationwide, is offering folks a chance to own a piece of the adventurous outdoors.

With a staff of 13 handpicked Realtors and four administrative staff in its historic downtown Branson location, Lightfoot &

Youngblood handles transactions in Missouri and Arkansas with ease and attentiveness.

Tracey Lightfoot and Brad Youngblood are the designated brokers and owners of the firm, which has garnered a stellar reputation among short and long-term investors who want to build their portfolios with real-estate properties.

The boutique office serves buyers, sellers and real-estate flippers, but its primary focus is working one-on-one with investors building successful vacation rental portfolios.

“The city of Branson had 10.2 million visitors in 2022,” Tracey Lightfoot said. “With a full-time residential population rate of 13,000, Branson is growing by leaps and bounds and has become a driving destination for tourists. The short-term rental market is booming. Our agents love helping put people in great vacation rentals.”

Tracey said, “if one was to draw a big diameter around Branson out to a 12-hour drive time that is where our visitors and clients are coming from in our market tourism, relocation, and investors.”

“Branson is a middle meeting destination for all, for example, some tourists may have family and friends all over the country. They may come from Dallas,

Denver, and Chicago, then meet in Branson as a destination location to hold their reunions, work retreats, or to conserve and save money. Vacation smarter not harder.”

Tracey said.

From someone buying a small land parcel to someone purchasing a luxurious, high-end home, Lightfoot & Youngblood has an expert Realtor for them.

In addition to being a co-owner, Brad Youngblood is the agency’s newdevelopment specialist. He is savvy at finding land for developers and can help with project designs and work with architects. From multiple units such as condos to a standalone lodge, Brad is ready to offer his expertise. He can also assist with remodels right down to the textiles used in the living rooms.

“We’re able to serve anyone in the marketplace,” Tracey said. “But we really know investors. We know their lingo, we know their needs, we understand their financing details, and serve them well. Folks looking for that holiday home and want to rent it out when they’re not using it should call us.”

“We have high customer service standards,” Brad said. “And we hand-pick our agents so that many people come back to us for multiple transactions.”

Last year, Lightfoot & Youngblood closed over $120 million in real-estate volume. This is one of the top independent brokerages in the area and it is ready to find clients the vacation home of their dreams.
