If Branson has a sister tourist city nearby, it's gotta be Eureka Springs, AR. 100 year old buildings, strong Ozarks history, live music theaters, natural beauty, Passion Play, and the out of proportion Christ of the Ozarks statue, by the same artist that did the Eureka Springs Farwell Dinosaur Park sculptures. Here is a blast from the past...tourist brochures, postcards, and so on, from Eureka Springs from about 1980. See it all at the Flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/juniordugan
Time to "purge" my Flickr site again. Take a look at these images because they will be gone soon. Tucked away in the old file cabinet until sometime in the future.
Thanks again for sharing. One of these we're going to get down there and see the Passion Play. If you don't mind my asking does Flickr limit the size of your account? Just curious why you purge from time to time.
Junior, what do you know of Mulberry Farm? I discovered online that they have a fall music fest. Looks interesting, but I've never heard of the place before.
As far as Flickr goes, once you get 200 photos on the site you have to upgrade to professional status, or something of that nature, and there is some kind of cost. So from time to time I remove photos so I don't get into the paying category.

Regarding Mulberry Mountain...a few years ago one of the big fall arts and crafts fairs, the one at Bentonville called the Applegate show, moved to Mulberry Mountain which is between fayetteville and Fort Smith. The venue was so good for the crafts show, they expanded into music festivals, and now host Wakarusa, a rock festival, each year, and then they host other individual acts as well as a bluegrass festival and other events. There is camping at the site, and apparently plenty of space for vendors and so on. I have not been there, but have been interested in going sometime to check it out.
