MY Branson Ozarks

By Jay Cooley
I am not native to Branson or the Ozarks. I have however become, a Naturalized Bransonian and Ozarker. I have taken the oath. I will have to be physically removed from the Branson area in order for my presence to no longer be needed or wanted. Yakov Smirnoff’s catch phrase is: “What a country.” He is correct, of course. My catch phrase is: “Branson and the Ozarks – what a place and what a lifestyle.”

Decades Vintage Boutique


By Emily Dowden-Estes
Like most women, I love to shop. As a self-proclaimed “shop-a-holic,” it’s important for me to find clothing stores that offer unique, yet reasonably priced merchandise. That’s why I was thrilled to discover Decades Vintage Boutique in downtown Springfield, MO.

Joseph at Sight & Sound Theatre

By D.E.
My entire family loved the production of Noah (The Musical) so much that we wondered if their new show - Joseph, would be as good. It blew us away! The production value at Sight and Sound is the highest of any show in Branson.

It is easy to see where your ticket money goes. There are LOTS of actors, live and animatronic animals and the set design is fantastic. This is a world-class production.

The Riders of the Circle B

By Georgia Beck
If you're looking for fun, great food and cowboy music you need to check out the best kept secret in Branson. The Riders of the Circle B Music Show is all of the above and a whole lot more. When you see Circle B, you always get more than you bargained for. The Horn family not only put on the show, they also seat you and serve your dinner. While waiting for your dinner, you can enjoy popcorn, sarsaparilla or something from the bar. Water, ice tea and coffee are also available. During this time they show an old-fashioned western movie. It always brings back a lot of memories when I see a Roy Rogers movie.

The Haygoods

By Georgia Beck

If you like fast paced, high energy shows, you definitely have to see The Haygoods at the RFD-TV Theater. To be honest, I have been a huge fan of this family ever since I saw them 19 years ago at Silver Dollar City. Back then, they only played fiddles and sang but that isn't the way it is today. They take a variety of instruments and put their own unique spin on well known songs and some of their own original songs ...and it's amazing. As an example, they play The Beatles' ELEANOR RIGBY and Michael Jackson's SMOOTH CRIMINAL - on fiddles! You have to hear them to

B.T. Bones Steakhouse and SIX

By Georgia Beck

Recently, I had the opportunity to see SIX. I was really looking forward to the evening because it had been a while since I had seen them and I had never been to Mickey Gilley's Theater. I found the theatre itself very nice and was pleasantly surprised at the comfort of the seats.
