Hello All,
Spring is just around the corner! I know our northern guests have had it a bit cold this
winter and plenty of snow but we are looking forward to having you as guests!
I wanted to let you know of a few things that are going on and around town this spring if
you will be visiting us at this time, for our summer guests-plenty is going on for you too and
of course the winter light celebrations for our fall and Christmas guests is planning on being
a showstopper this year.
Come celebrate with us in May with the Grand Opening of the new Branson Airport kicking
off with the 1st Annual Branson Air Show(May 9th-10th). This will be a treat for all ages!
Silver Dollar City starts off the spring with Family Spring Break Days, followed by Young
Christians Weekend, World-Fest, then May is the Bluegrass and BBQ Festival. And if that is
not enough to stimulate your senses, join us for the 1st Annual Great American Pie Show
with NBC’s Al Roker. After sampling the pie be sure to take in the beauty of the budding
trees, pink dogwoods, and the crocuses and daffodils greeting you along the roads and
trails. The spring green against the crystal blue waters of Table Rock Lake will bring a fresh
renewal along with the Easter Services and Easter Egg Hunt activities planned in the
surrounding areas.

and Surrounding areas this year.
Plus, and I know this whole economy has many of us scared to death(turn off your tv and
put your trust in the Lord), Branson offers many discounts so be sure to call the shows that
you are planning on seeing to get your tickets, for many online venues do not give
discounts for they have to cover themselves as the middle man. Also, plan an outing at the
Shephard of the Hills Fish(trout) Hatchery.

For this is a public--FREE musuem that tells you about the building of the Dam and has
many specimans for the kids and a fantastic hatchery that the young and older will have a
blast just feeding the fish. Plus they have 4 hiking trails for a little bit of exercise and to just
enjoy the nature. Go across the Dam and you have the Dewey Short center which is
another FREE musuem ran by the Corp of Engineers and offers a free movie.

Also, if you plan it right the Branson Belle cruises by the Dewey Short center making for
some awesome pictures. If you are here, bring your picnic basket for they have several
benches to enjoy a afternoon lunch. If you are here during the summer this is just an
awesome place to swim! With all the underwater cliff rock--young and old will love it, bring
your water shoes! Or your hiking boots if you plan to go on one of their trails.
Moonshine Beach is across the dam from the Dewey Short Center and this is a Corp ran
beach that offers covered pavillions, playground, BBQ areas and is a pebble beach and is
roped off for safety. Visit this link:

I know many of you are planning on visiting the Branson Landing while you are in town.
This is a mix of old and new and you will be here all day, plus many of our guests go back
for a second day. For the bargain shoppers you have the old 5 and Dime, flea markets and
great antique shops along with art galleries, ice cream--don't forget the ice cream shoppe!
At night they have a free water and fire show along to music--you will just love this! Enjoy a
stroll along lake Taneycomo along with many shops, even for you guys, Bass Pro. Plenty of
restuarants to choose from too!
