More shows in Branson

Branson is known for its shows. Every evening you can see just about anything you want. It's a very family oriented vacation spot. They have an amusement park, Silver Dollar City, and it seems like there is a mini golf course or go cart place on every corner!! Tuesday evening we went to Dixie Stampede. It was a dinner show, there are no eating utensils and the show is a competition, North and South. We were given a biscuit, soup (you had a handle and drank the soup), a whole cornish hen, a slice of pork, half a baked potato and corn on the cob. You surely would not leave the show hungry! Even had an apple turnover for dessert. The show was good. Barrel races, chicken races, pig races, and small horse races. Dixie Stampede is owned by Dolly Pardon, and there is also one in Tennessee. They would not let us take pictures inside so I have none to share.

Thursday evening we went to see the Baldnobbers show. This show is one of the oldest in Branson. They are celebrating 50 years this year. It started as a family show and they still have many of the family still performing. Sons, daughters and grandchildren of the original family.
It was full of a lot of comedy and song. They had an intermission half way through and came out so you could get autographs or pictures.



We have been to 3 shows so far and have one more to go this evening. We would never have gone to all of these because it can get very expensive. Everywhere in Branson, there are places that have information and tickets. The catch to getting these tickets of course is to listen to either time shares or vacation shares. We did give up a morning, but got tickets to 4 shows at a hugh discount. We did the same thing in Hawaii to get tickets to a luau and dinner cruise. We were up front with them from the start that we live in our motorhome, but that didn't matter. So, if you come to Branson take the time and get some great deals on the shows!

  1. We did the timeshare thing in Hawaii plus a few other places too. So, what side did you sit on -- north or south --- and, who won?
