Please note that the noon meal and show is different from the 4 pm and evening cruises.  Have heard some folks really like the evening with the aerialist/violist and new musical group but didn't care for the lunch show.   And have heard some folks prefer lunch to the evening cruise.

In regards to SDC discounts, I ate at McDonald's in Mountain Home AR this week.  There was a $5 off admission coupon printed on the placemat.  Don't know what other McDonald's are offering it but thought I would mention it.

Here's another article (from Branson Tri-Lakes News) about the Wallendas and Kids Fest. Their regular KF show will be in the Opera House.

Forgot to add this -- it's great timing for the Wallendas to be at SDC.  They just completed a major stunt in Puerto Rico that was covered in the news over the weekend.

Branson Talk / Re: RV Campground Membership for sale.

« on: June 01, 2011, 11:03:35 PM »

Have thought about the Treasure Lake membership before but it does have some drawbacks (no cable TV) and getting in and out can be a challenge when the traffic is backed up on SOTH from the traffic light at 76.

« on: June 01, 2011, 10:59:47 PM »

both would be great additions to the area.........

What ever happen to? or has it been cancelled/delayed the race track complex near branson.

There's a meeting about it soon at the College of the Ozarks but it's not open to the public; it's open only to the members of the Chambers of Commerce of Hollister, Branson, and Table Rock Lake.
