An Ozark Mountain Christmas in Branson, Missouri - Part 5

The fourth and last day in Branson we attended three shows. In the morning we were introduced to the Cat's Pajamas Vocal Band. We weren't to sure about them at first, but as it turned out they put on a great performance. I would go to see them again. They really went out of their way for our bus group. They greeted us before the show in their bath robes and after the show they came on the bus to say goodbye.

The second show of the day was a dinner cruise on the Showboat Branson Belle. We ate supper as the boat cruised around their local lake. After supper they put on a great variety show.
The star of this show was the multi-talented Janice Martin.

The third show of the day, in the evening was the Soji Tabuchi Christmas show. They put on a good show but by then we were "showed out."

The third day in Branson we went shopping in the morning at the Tanger Outlet Mall. In the afternoon, we attended the Daniel O'Donnell show. This was the show we really wanted to see and it was as good in person as on TV. I bought several music CDs and look forward to playing them this winter. This is a show I would go to see again!

In the evening we went to the Andy Williams Theatre to see the Andy Williams Christmas show. This was a great variety show, introducing a lot of new talent including the Cat's Pajamas.

 

Following this we toured a bit to see the Christmas lights.

The second day we had a driving tour of Branson in the morning plus a tour of the College of the Ozarks Campus and also a wine tasting session at the Stone Hill Winery. We bought our limit to take home.

 

We then attended two shows. The first was the Texas Tenors. Their music was great but way too loud for most of us. Bought a CD and had it signed by all three and had a picture taken with them. This is something I have never done before.

 

The second show of the day was the Ozark Moubtain Jubilee with the Bacon Family at the Grand Country Resort. This was show was also too loud until we moved towards the back of the theatre into some empty seats.

The first day in Branson we had a behind the stage tour at The Sight and Sound Theatre and then in the evening we went back to this theatre to see Joseph! (and The Many Coloured Coat). This was a great production put on by a Christian group. Their hope was that attendees would get their christian message.

We stayed at the Grand Country Resort, where the daily breakfast buffet was included. One could eat to the bursting point here! We also had a couple of buffet dinners there as well. Gained 5 pounds over the nine day trip!
