If you’re one of those folks who has made our other Ozark tours so popular, here’s a tour for you! It’s a Branson extravaganza designed especially for people who are “Hooked on Branson!” Today’s journey carries us across Tennessee to Clarksville.

Crossing the Mississippi River late this morning we enter Missouri. Now, you ought to know there’s just no way we could be anywhere in the state of Missouri and not stop in for lunch at Lambert’s Café, home of the “Throwed Rolls.” You won’t leave this place hungry, guaranteed! We continue to Branson for the next three nights. This evening we take our seats for the Haygoods; a family of five brothers and one sister who became the youngest performing family in the history of Branson to open their own show. Combined they perform on 20+ instruments, singing music from the 60’s through today! (L)

This morning we start the day at the College of the Ozarks and the Ralph Foster Museum in Branson. Ralph Foster is the man who helped put Branson on the map. In this museum dedicated to him we find a collection of enough variety to call this place the “Smithsonian of the Ozarks!” See the Beverly Hillbillies truck, a 20,000-piece miniature circus, a complete gun collection, and an enormous display of wild animals and birds. This afternoon’s show is the Dutton Family, three generations on stage. The Dutton family puts on a musical extravaganza featuring everything from Bluegrass to gospel to country and rock ‘n roll. Dinner is included before we take our seats at Clay Cooper’s Country Music Express. Clay shares the stage with more than 20 cast members in this high energy country music variety show guaranteed to make you tap your toes, stomp your feet, and even let out a holler or two! (D)

Our first stop this morning will be downtown Branson with its many shops and of course, Dick’s 5 & 10. Next enjoy the unique crafts and food at the Branson Craft Mall. We have an included lunch for you at their Pickin Porch Grill. June & September departures, this afternoon we’ll take our seats at the Sight & Sound theatre for an inspiring production of Queen Esther! Set in the opulent yet perilous Persian Empire, Queen Esther is a captivating tale of beauty and bravery. Experience one of the most riveting Bible stories as it comes to life with magnificent sets, special effects, and live animals in this original stage production from Sight & Sound. On our October departure we enjoy the Texas Tenors, who were featured on America’s Got Talent. We enjoy their incredible harmony as they sing everything from country ballads to opera’s favorite arias. Our final show in Branson is Pierce Arrow. The quartet offers great entertainment and music.

Today we leave the Ozark mountains behind, crossing the fertile lands of the Mississippi River valley to Memphis. We travel on to Jackson, TN, for our final night’s rest. Tonight you are our guests for a delicious southern style seafood dinner as we bring our Hooked on Branson tour to a close. (D)
