Christmas lights-2010- Indian Point? Kimberling City?

sanddunerider · October 31, 2010, 09:29:31 AM

Last year these 2 were cancelled /postponed due to "lack of funding". I have been trying to find out if they will be on display this year. Have sent e-mail to both areas with no response? $:-\$ Does anybody know for sure if they will have displays this year.?

Presently the only light displays in Branson are the light trail on Shepard of the Hills Expressway, Shepard of the Hills park, and possible the conservation area at the foot of Indian Point Road.

There's a fairly large light display about 3 or 4 miles north of Indian Point that gets lit up this Saturday. Counting down the days already

Between that and the Kansas City Plaza lights (which they would never cancel) on Thanksgiving, I will be satisfied

sanddunerider I can't believe you fell for that one....

Kimberling City used to have a really nice display. It's too bad they cancelled it. I've never been to the light display at Indian Point. But Nate65807 is right, that other display is awesome.

The one on Indian Point if a short one. OK, but you can probably stay closer to home (wherever you live) and see something comparable.

true enough history buff, but i would rather drive 4 hours to branson, than the 1 hour to KC.

The funny thing is, that is the truth when it comes to every single one of us.

Ozark.. i think your right about that! After all, that's we're here isn't it?

Kimberling City sold all of its light displays about 3 years ago so I don't think the Port of Kimberling light display will make a come back. Last year the Indian Point display at the Corps of Engineers campground wasn't set up due to the economy (it has operated on donations in the past). I haven't heard anything about it happening this year, either.

I like the one that is across the lake from the Branson Landing. Does anybody know if that one is up yet?

If you are talking about the Nativity scene of large plywood figures, that is the Branson Adoration Scene, and will not be lit (unless somebody has changed the way things have been done) until the conclusion of the Branson Adoration Parade, which I think is the evening of the first Sunday in December. (That's the annual Branson Christmas parade.)
