Up, Up, and Away!

Amy, a mom with the "inside track," and her daughters.

Are you going to be in Branson this coming weekend?  If not, you might want to reconsider!

Listen to this . . . Balloons Over Branson Creek

This new event made my “Top Ten Reasons Fall in Branson Rocks!” list, and since it is coming up this weekend, I thought I’d take a few minutes to remind you to make plans to come!

First things first . . . you need to know that you’re too late.  Too late, that is, to attend the VIP Kick-Off Party on Friday night.  That’s right – it’s sold out.  And, I can tell you that that fact is a pretty good indication that people are really excited about this event.  And, that it’s going to be a lot of fun!

But, don’t worry!  There is plenty of family fun to be had all day on Saturday.  In fact, if you are one of those lucky parents who have kids who get up before 6:00 a.m., you are really in luck.  You see, the event kicks-off with the morning “Balloon Glow” at 6:00 a.m. (don’t worry, there is another one at dusk!).  Now, I don’t pretend to know exactly what this “Balloon Glow” entails, but I’m pretty sure it will be quite a sight!

So, even if you don’t get there to witness that before-the-crack-of-dawn glow, you should still come on out to enjoy the day.  There is something for everyone!  Check this out:

• For hungry (and crafty) people . . . Food and Craft Vendors are open from 6:00 – 11:00 a.m. and again from 4:00 – 8:00 p.m.

• For people who like a little friendly competition . . . Balloon Launch & Competition with Branson Celebrities in Balloons from 7:00 – 9:00 a.m.

• For our furry friends (and their owners) . . . Branson Parks & Rec Department Dog Walk on trails at Branson Creek at 10:00 a.m.

• For people who like a little adventure . . . Powered Parachutes and Sky Divers at 4:30 p.m.

• For those people for didn’t get up in time to see the first one . . . Balloon Glow at dusk.

• For movie enthusiasts . . . UP on the Outdoor Big Screen at 8:00 p.m.

So now do you see why you don’t want to miss this!  For more details, visit the event website at www.balloonsoverbransoncreek.com.  Have a GREAT time!
