If anyone has any suggestions for group events or shows, just let one of us know. One idea...They have an excellent show on the Branson Belle. We might plan a boat ride one day for early arrivers. Trust me when I say that you can bring the whole family, stay a week and not run out of anything to do. The shows are reasonably priced and obviously the hotels are inexpenisve as well. I've been taking my family to Branson for the Super Summer Cruise for years and we always look forward to it.

Stuart, With Rita now knowing some of the bunch, and her wanting to make the Branson run a few years back, it looks like I've been volunterred to be there, and I HOLD YOU RESPOSIBLE.  Been looking over the Branson sites, I saw the Branson Bell, Rita likes to boat ride wherever we go, so that would be good. I also saw an excursion train, (Branson Scenic Railway), and a Historic Homestead tour. Also saw a Branson Auto Museum, (different from 57 Heaven?). You planning to set-up events starting Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday? (Need to figure out when to get there). I will bring a spare fuel pump pushrod. See you then. Afterthought, you're seen my trailer, is there a decent spot to put it at the Ramada? Barry IF YOU'RE UNDER CONTROL, YOU AIN'T GOING FAST ENOUGH." |

yes plenty of trailer parking Monday is a free day for most to go to silver dollar city or what ever you want to do.. We will scheduled a few events every day and free time every day also for people to do shows or what ever. You dont have to do our schedules stuff . Its just stuff we thought you all would like . 57 heaven museum is closing and being autioned off this month .  So i'm already having to reschedule stuff . So i'm sure we will be going to that new car museum you saw on line . There is so much to do and not enought time to do it all. Sue has a connection to get 1/2 price ticket to most all the show and activities . |

A couple regular stops for my family in Branson -- besides a few already listed -- are the Shepherd of the Hills dinner & show and the Titanic attraction. We'll usually hit maybe one or two (at the most) of the "regular" shows around town, but my kids are much more interested in playing all the different Putt-Putt courses than anything else.  plenty of go-cart tracks and arcades for my kids too. |

If it wasn't when my kid is still in school we might have come down for that one. looks like a lot of potential for fun, and as long as their are wing cars to stare at I'm always up for it.

Those wooden, multi level go-cart tracks are fast and furious. We rode the one on the west end of town last year, the Lumberjack, I think and it was totally insane. I've seen about half of the shows in town and haven't seen one yet that I didn't enjoy. The Pressley's were great. The parkiing lot at the Branson Belle is huge. Plenty of parking for those big old wingcars. I'll look into a package deal. In July and August the streets are more often referred to as parking lots. People are courteous and will let you in, but of course you then come to a complete stop.  |

I was sick when I realized that the show was the same week as the Power Tour. I had planned to do the Power Tour for the first time in 2010. The wing show is much more important though and for me...much closer to home.
I don't expect the Power Tour to affect the show attendance.

If you wait until you arrive in branson to purchase your show tickets , there is a generic looking building at the intersection of highways 65 & 76 where most of you will drive in on . It has half-price tickets for most of the shows. There is no sales pitch , no timeshare tour , no catch what so ever at these prices , and then you can purchase the other ticket elsewhere at various places around town .
There are alot of attractions in the aera to see: The titanic exhibit , Hollywood wax museum, stone Hill winery ,Butterfly Palace , Toy Museum , Dinosaur Museum and haunted House , Ripley's Believe It or Not. There are also numerous places you can play mini golf , go cart racing ,ride the ducks , fly from the 100 tower or take a heliocopter ride over branson. There are numerous specialty stores, shopping and outlet malls , and alot of restaurants and ice cream joints around the branson area. You can also take a leisurely ride on the branson Belle Showboat or the tourist train or see a movie at the IMAX threatre. The attractions are endless in branson , so plan to make it your family vacation and come enjoy everything with your mopar famliy too.

This will be a combined clubs event , Winged Warriors will host it this year with DSAC hosting next year . The clubs will then alterate who host and sets up the Nation Meet event every other year . This will save us Money trying to make both events and Hopefully get bigger turn out of members and cars .
Very special thanks to Doug Shellinger , Chuck Porter , Mike Borkowski , Wayne Perkins , and Sue George for arranging for us to have combined Club Meets .

Just made my reservations and the only ground floor available is a handicapped room. So I am on the second floor, I guess they don't count mental handicaps  ) He said if something opened up on the ground floor he would change me. |

We made our hotel reservations last Thursday. Try and make your reservations direct with the hotel staff. The first time we called at night, they transferred us to the 800 reservation line. They didn't know anything about a block or a special rate. When we called back, we told them not to transfer us, and we got in just fine.
