Never thought I'd see the day

I never thought I'd see the day that gas prices dropped below $2.00 a gallon on the strip, but I was pleasantly suprised as I cruised the Branson strip yesterday and saw several gas stations advertising $1.99 per gallon for regular. I can only imagine what the price of gas is in Ozark and Branson West. Let's hope this trend keeps going or at least stays WAY below the near $5.00 a gallon we saw during the summer time.

It's Christmas time in Branson now and lights are up and glowing everywhere. I was taking down Halloween decorations yesterday and thought seriously about putting up my Christmas stuff. Branson Mom was talking in my head and told me "Not until after Thanksgiving". It was her big thing to not mix the holidays but I may sneak up a few lights while it's still WARM. You know the temp in Branson is a low of 50 with highs in the 70's? This is not winter weather but I'll take it. We had a cold front move thru here a few weeks ago to give us a taste of what is to come and I discovered my furnace wasn't working. I fixed it - luckily it was something simple. I'm just glad to have a few more days of warmer weather.

Here is something new I discovered, Next year the Mansion will be showing the Broadway hit Peter Pan starring Cathy Rigby. Yup, in May of next year the whole set is moving from Broadway to Branson. I look forward to seeing that show. They are going to build a rig for her to fly over the audience.

Make sure to check my Weekly Reviews page often cause I plan to get as many Christmas shows reviewed as I can before the end of the main show season. Most shows will close down between December 13th and December 20th this year. But not to worry, Branson has several shows that run all year long so no matter when you come down to see us, you'll have plenty of entertainment choices.
