News and area information on current events in Branson, Missouri.
Man! 80+ for temperatures two days in a row. It’s a good thing I watered my grass Saturday. I can’t imagine what the temperature feels like at Silver Dollar City (the blacktop must be insanely hot). However, that must be where all the people are, since I do not see any shopping at Factory Merchants.
Branson saw the opening of another department store in March. Belk recently held its grand opening and it was apparent when I went into the 68,000 sq. ft. sales floor that the residents of Branson were happy to have real department stores. I was in the store for mere minutes and heard all good things about it and the new Target store that opened about a month ago. The Branson boom that everyone has been talking about is finally happening.
Tomorrow, April 7th, 2006 will see the grand opening of the newest museum attraction in Branson, Titanic Museum Attraction. Regis Philbin and his wife Joy will be at the museum for the christening from 11:30am to 12:00pm. Regis will blow the horn on the ship for the first time at noon. This will mark the beginning of an ongoing practice to be performed daily at 12:00pm. For more information, visit http://www.titanicbranson.com
