Other Parks / HFEC and Elitch Gardens? this just in.

« on: January 19, 2011, 03:13:35 PM »

"""Park News - (1/19/11) Previously I had reported that Herschend was rumored to be seriously interested in running Darien Lake for CNL, but now my sources report that Herschend bigwigs are rumored to be headed out to Elitch Gardens later this week to look into that property as well. If true, don’t expect these to be a buyout deal, as CNL isn’t looking to sell, but rather a management contract to run the park(s). """

General Silver Dollar City Talk / SDC open on Thanksgiving evening. whats your thought?

« on: November 23, 2010, 06:08:44 PM »

I am seeing a lot of rebuttle on "momsblog" about this topic. So i thought i would bring it over here.

 I see nothing wrong with the city being open in the evening for festivities, and a chance to get away from the house,

What a great way to spend some extra time and burn some of those extra calories

What do you think?

Also i have the times coupons for the asking.... 

I am not trying to sell any of these.  IF you can use them to save some money and have fun let me know. I will mail them to you.

Branson Talk / Thanksgiving parade of stars cancelled- a real shame

« on: October 30, 2010, 07:04:04 PM »

Branson headlines
The Parade that would have been...
October 2010 update: Due to the downturn in the economy, lack of sponsorships and the sudden change of venue, the 4th Annual Holiday Promenade of Stars will not happen in 2010. It was scheduled for Saturday, November 13, 2010 (more November Events here) at The Branson Landing. Watch for it to return in 2011...hopefully back on Highway 76. Here are the would-have-been's:

it would have been televised nationally on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day (shown in all 50 states to over 100 million households)
it would have been hosted by Mario Lopez, Carrie Tillis & John Daly
it would have featured mega Macy's-style balloons
it would have featured a special salute to Iraqi soldiers
it might have been aired by the Armed Forces Network on Christmas Day for our troops overseas 
it would have benefitted 3 local charities: The Boys & Girls Club of the Ozarks, The Skaggs Foundation & Love INC
it would have been a fun event for you to attend. Maybe next year...we'll let you know.
