Anyone planning on going or have experience at SDC on Labor Day weekend? My wife and I are considering a trip over that weekend, but wasn't sure what to expect crowd wise. I figure summer is over, but it is still a long weekend so the crowds could be fairly significant. We also considered the weekend before, but I figure regardless of crowds the extra day we get on the long weekend makes it worth it. Any thoughts?

Along those lines... Anyone have any favorite groups that come to the Southern gospel picnic? Sounds like some good performers visiting.

i considered a trip down there that weekend, But have a couple of annual gathering here i may go to instead.

MAN!!  decisions!  decisions!

Probably will wait untill the following weekend. Eliminate the "last weekend" traffic at the park..    BUT that is the last monday they will be open thisyear!   

Dont know,,I just Dont know...

It's been a long time since I went on a holiday weekend so I'm not sure either.  I have read posts where the 4th of July the park had low attendance because of other things going on.  They could very well be the case for Labor Day also.  But to me a day at SDC is better than a day at work anytime!

Well, Duelist said it... a day at SDC is better than a day at work anytime. :-) My wife and I decided to give it a go and see how things are that weekend. Probably going to mix things up a little and see some shows we haven't seen before rather than focusing solely on SDC. I just called Paige at HomeStay and made a reservation there... first time for us to stay there. Looking forward to it after all the good reviews. And of course, looking forward to relaxing time in SDC and Branson. Nice to get away once in a while, even just for a long weekend.

hey sp!  you will love Paige and her group!

Also IF you know what show u are going to, Paige can get you discounted tickets, and have them delivered to the motel..

This is who she works with...  Give her call...

We always go Labor Day weekend.  We have never had any trouble.  We are staying at Homestay that weekend too!  Maybe we'll see each other.  You won't be able to miss us.  There are 9 of us.

We plan on going to SDC the weekend after Labor Day Sat/Sun 10-11. This will be the start of the Fall Harvest Festival. Plan on giving Paige @ Homestay Inn a call later today to make reservations!

My prediction is that Labor Day won't be excessively busy. Most people assume that it will be busy because of the holiday, and therefore won't go.

And DollarCityBoy you just uttered my three favorite words, "Fall Harvest Festival."

I'm still not feeling well.  Hopefully I will be well enough to go here in a few weeks

Used to be dead over Labor Day weekend. Not the case any more - usually. Traffic getting into SDC can be ridiculous but once in things seems to move at a good pace. If you're shopping patience will be needed at the outlet malls, The Landing and downtown Branson.

We'll be there w/our daughter "Diana Gail", who is a member of this board, and her in-laws. We also have reservations at "Homestay". We'll be staying through Monday night. It's good to know we'll have a nice, clean room for the times my fibro/cfs/etc flares up. The rooms at "Homestay" seem to be very clean and comfy.

God bless.

Welcome Busymom and enjoy the trip!!!

Welcome busymom and thanks for the comment! Hope you have a great trip. I'm hoping the rain holds off for us, but the cooler temps that are forecast should be nice. Still, if it rains we'll just relax and enjoy the time away :-). Have fun!
