Some great antique photos, plus a number of brochures that I remember.

The Plummer Family brochure is welcoming the Master's Four. I knew them when they were the Texans, and were singing to tracks in tiny podunk churches (like ours).

^Those are great.  Thanks!

Seeing the photo of the Bank of Branson was surreal.  The building is so familiar as the gift shop downtown.  It's strange to see it standing alone in that photo.

We actually owned the Box Car Willie brochure.  We saw him while he was in Branson.

It's great to see an old Sammy Lane Pirate Cruise brochure.  I loved that cruise, as well as the Lake Queen cruise on the lake in downtown Branson.  We used to walk down there when we stayed at the Allendale Sharp Resort.  I was sad to see all that taken out and the Branson Landing put in. :(

I've never seen a photo from SDC's opening day before, so it was good to see the one with the Baldknobbers performing at SDC.

All in all, these photos are a real treat! :D
