The full day of activities will conclude with the two regular 8 PM shows in Branson Star Theatre’s two performance halls; “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do;” a musical featuring the songs of Neil Sedaka and The David Lomascola Show. In addition to being a part of the 3PM Benefit Show, all three of the theatre’s regular shows will contribute a portion of that day’s proceeds to the fund raising effort.
Branson locals and visitors are all invited to join in the fund raising effort and the fun at the “Branson Gives Big” outdoor Family Festival from 11AM to 3PM. Fun Family activities will include free outside-stage entertainment; a variety of food, including “Dollar Dogs” and Golden Corral’s famous sandwich lunches; vendors; inflatables; kid friendly games and prizes. “We are very excited about the outpouring from the Branson community and we are looking forward to a very fun event that is so much more special because all the vendors are donating a portion of their proceeds to the relief effort,” states one event coordinator, Angela Walker.
One of the most exciting aspects of the “BRANSON GIVES BIG” project is that we are bringing several families directly affected by the weather disasters to Branson that weekend for an all-expense-paid family vacation. “The community has given rooms, meals, show and attraction tickets; all free for these families. We are so grateful, however, we do still need to pay for the travel expenses of these families and are actively looking for donations to accomplish this,” comments Linda Buckles event co-coordinator. “We are asking for help from the community to raise the funds for the travel expenses and any amount will be appreciated.” Please contact Linda at 417-593-6060 or Angela at 417-336-2442 to donate to the cause.
Vendor space is still available. For this unique opportunity there is FREE vendor space for seven more vendors on a “first come” basis. Contact Angela Walker at 417-336-2442 for details.
Angela Walker, spokesperson for “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do” and one of the event organizers comments, “Let’s face it, the people affected by these floods in the Midwest are our neighbors and our customers. I have lived in Branson for over 20 years and have not seen such devastation as I have seen I the last few weeks. As a community, Branson is always will to help in a crisis and our neighbors need us now. I challenge every in Branson to show our neighbors what all of is here already know: “Branson Gives Big!”
