November 13th-19th, Wautoma Senior Center Christmas in Branson Trip.

Christmas will be celebrated TWICE in 2018 for the Wautoma travelers who partake in the Christmas
in Branson trip! From November 13 to 19, 2018 their group will enjoy a taste of
Christmas in the Heartland of the Ozarks! This quality Lamers Motorcoach Tour has us
enjoying the Drury Inn both “on-the-road” nights and you will be enjoying seven highlyrated
shows by some of the best Branson has to offer! Texas Tenors, SIX, The Brett
Family, Down Home Country, The Dutton Family, and the Showboat Branson Belle
Dinner Show all offer excellent entertainment with Christmas spirit. Sight and Sound
Theatre’s production of SAMPSON will thrill us with live animals and incredible stage
settings…an immersive performance you’ll be recounting long after your return home!
Our hotel of four nights in Branson is the Best Western Plus Landing View Inn–just a
few blocks walk to the waterfront/downtown restaurant/shopping area. The Bellagiostyle
fountain in Branson Landing along the waterfront plays every hour on the hour
with a delightful display of music, lights and water effects. One morning we’ll also visit
the Grand Village Shopping Center, which includes a huge Christmas decor shop and
Mel’s Hard Luck Diner, with singing wait staff. Other highlights include the Gifts of
Lights drive-thru holiday lights show; a visit to the Dewey Short Visitor Center with its
educational video about Table Rock Dam; a stop in St. Louis at the Gateway Arch for a
film and tram ride to the top; The World’s Largest Candy Store and Gift Shop will be a
rest stop with time to shop….plus three dinners in Branson, including the dinner show
on the Branson Belle, and an included lunch in Rockford at the Machine Shed! Before
leaving the area on Sunday, we will indulge in the College of the Ozark’s renowned
Sunday Brunch Buffet. The cost covers all tipping for included meals AND your bus
driver! It’s not too early to sign up–this trip was finalized at the end of last summer as
Branson is so popular during the Christmas season! So sign up today to reserve your
spot on the Christmas In Branson trip November 13-19, 2018, leaving right from
Wautoma. Cost is $1099 per person double occupancy; inquire about other rates. Need
