I'm thinking back a bit here. We went to see Shoji Tabuchi's Christmas show. It was wonderful! Full of energy and heartfelt wishes. This was a great show. http://www.shoji.com/
We also got to see the "Smoke on the mountain" Christmas show. It takes place just before WWII and plays nightly at 8 pm at the IMAX Theater. We laughed, we cried. What a wonderful play. There's great music and the story.... well, all I can say is if you're in Branson, don't miss this one! http://www.1branson.com/branson/smoke-on-the-mountain/37
Finally, we went to Silver Dollar City. This is a mid sized theme park. The buildings are "traditional Appalacian Mountain" type. There are some rides at the back og the park, and tons of shops. Also shows(these are included with admissions. We saw the "Living Nativity." I guess maybe because of my background, I wasn't real impressed. It's $55 per person to get in, and then everything costs you money. It's like you're paying to go spend more money. The parking lots are enormous and either a trolley or bus takes you up to the gate. The parking lots are a whole lot bigger than the park itself. However, the art work there is exceptional,and the dulcimers in the shop on the way out were reasonable and very nice. The food is very expensive. We had one wassail, one funnel cake and 2 bottles of water for $20. The staff, actors and participants are very friendly and do there best to entertain. I guess I'm just very very put off by the entry price. Granted, we got in free for area appreciation, but if we'd have paid $110 to get in, ....... We did go with some friends, and that was really great! The Christmas lights and the lighting of the tree were fabulous, and the Christmas parade was wonderful. The parking lots were full the day we went, and although crowded, it wasn't too bad. The line for the train was much longer than we wanted to deal with. I guess it's sort of an Appalacian Mountain Disney World. http://silverdollarcity.com/
The Best Part of Branson was meeting new friends, and that will always be the highlight for both of us. The fishing was great, and the fly fishing incredible, but without Larry & Lea, Gail & Jack, Jo & John, Marilyn & Al, Mike & Chris, Eddie & Erma, Deb & Joe, Lorrie & Roger, Kathy & Leon, Susan & Ron, Sue & Gene, Denise & Carl, and oh so many more, it would not have been the fun it was.
