Shadowrock Park flooded, and Branson

Hi everyone. Here are the things I noticed in the Branson area that I wanted to tell you all about. First, I went for a drive out Hwy 76 East the other day and noticed that ShadowRock Park is flooded. Most of the buildings are covered up to their roofs. Only the top rails of the slide are visible. It will be some time before the water returns to it's normal level I'm afraid.

I also thought I might mention that for all you Halloween fans out there, I found a pumpkin patch on Hwy F that you might enjoy going to. It's called McKenna's Pumpkin Patch at 3265 F Hwy in Branson. They have a play area for the kids, Hay rides, or course Pumpkins, and a Hay Maze to go through. Speaking with Ed McKenna, he had a corn maze all plotted out but the storm we had a few weeks ago knocked over the stalks so he improvized with hay. General admission for ages 3 - 65 is $4.00 for activities, but no cost to look through the pumpkins and pick your own. Call 417-593-3159 for more information.

For visitors to Branson that have not been here yet this year, I thought I would mention that we have a new Winery in town you can visit. Not only do we have the Stone Hill winery where they actually bottle wine in the building and have tours for you to enjoy, but we now have a Mount Pleasant Winery location. It is on Green Mountain across Gretna road from Stone Hill. They have wine tasting and are open 10 am to 7 pm based on season and crowd. Stone Hill is open 8:30 am to 8 pm based on season and crowd. Both are open every day except for select holidays. Wine tasting is free so stop in and check out our old time favorite Stone Hill, and our new kid on the block, Mount Pleasant.

One last thing before I go, there is a new stop sign that everyone should know about. It is on Gretna road between the entrance to the White House Theater and the road next to Branson Variety Theater. I don't remember the name of the road, but there is a new 4 way stop sign at that location. It may make traffic easier to leave the theater, but may confuse users of Gretna until thay get used to a stop sign there. Be Careful.

I'll add more posts as I find more things of interest in Branson. Until then, Have a Wonderful Day!!
