Fun Last Days at Treasure Lake

 Friday and Saturday we were treated to some extra entertainment here at Treasure Lake.  It was unseasonably chilly but it was still fun!

Helen Russell & Company was a GREAT show.  These two were very talented and hilarious!  We laughed so hard and I even got to participate in the show!

Josh & Hilary Carroll, Carroll Country Countdown, are a very talented duo who sang songs through the decades one song right after another!

Arkansas Masters of Illusion kept our attention and involved a lot of the kids!  Fun!

The indoor pool has been open awhile but it didn’t have enough drawing power to make us take the tags off the suits we bought here last summer! 😁

The outdoor pool just opened on Friday, but the cool weather and even cooler water did not attract a crowd!  It will soon.

We were glad to have Elsie & Chuck join us for dinner and the music again Saturday night.

I DANCED!

I just couldn’t resist!  My foot was doing okay at that time and it didn’t hurt any worse than it usually does later or the next day.  I still can’t walk distances comfortably, but it let me dance!

Tonight, Monday, it is raining.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, we say goodbye to Treasure Lake and head to Oklahoma for an overnight stop.  

Destination: Silverton, Texas and the Caprock & Palo Duro Canyon areas for a week.

Our Last Day at the City!

Today, May 31, is the last day of the Silver Dollar City Bluegrass & BBQ Festival, but yesterday was our last day. We enjoy this festival immensely. 

This front porch always invites me to “come sit a spell”.

There’s a church in the valley by the wildwood....

We absolutely  L❤️VE The Petersens!  They are all incredibly talented, incredibly good looking, incredibly nice AND they love Jesus!  A dynamite combination.  They sang Sweet Beulah Land and it could not have been better!  They were the last ones we saw last night and we snagged our front row seat way early.  The only issue with that is the seats in the gazebo are incredibly uncomfortable!  Our butts were still hurting when we got home, but they were worth it!  

They will be at the Elevation Festival at Kremmling, Colorado in July.  We plan to be there!

Nothin’ Fancy

We had never seen the Gibson Brothers before that we recall.  They write their own songs and they are quite good.  We liked them A LOT.  They were the only group that made me want to purchase their music to listen to all the way home, but they didn’t have a flash drive.  I will be collecting them on iTunes and Spotify!

Horse Creek Band

Southern Strings

More Silver Dollar City

 More time at the “City”!

While I would very much prefer to walk all over Silver Dollar City, riding a scooter has its perks! 

.... like getting in the shows first!

We will take a couple of days off from the Bluegrass festival at SDC to stay home at Treasure Lake for some planned shows and activities here Friday - Sunday.

Memory Blog Post!

 Sooooo..... we are thinking it is finally time to go to Sturgis in August now that I have Marcel!  😂🤣  I don’t know what Mark will ride.  He no longer has that Triumph he wrecked, Kawasaki or Gold Wing.... so guess it will have to be a Harley this time!

Treasure Lake RV

 Treasure Lake, our RV park here in Branson, MO,  has live music in the outdoor Pavilion every weekend.  It is fun to listen and watch the dancers. Sunday night gospel music too! Chuck and Elsie met us for dinner and joined us Saturday night!

Kathy and Brian actually dance!

Linda and James watch like us!

Another cool benefit of membership here is that we get great discounts on the shows at Little Opry Theater near here!  

Here are photos from a couple of funny ones below!

Bluegrass & BBQ

 The Bluegrass Festival at Silver Dollar City is one of our two favorites here.  They are still not operating full swing with two indoor theaters not yet open for shows, or the Red Gold Heritage Hall open full of BBQ vendors as usual.   They didn’t open for this festival at all last year.  Things are well on their way to getting back to normal with weekend crowds and no masks required anymore!

Here are some of the groups we have seen so far......

      The Homestead Pickers are always here.

Darrel Mosely Band, Greg Blake & Hometown, Ray Caldwell & Tennessee Moon, Liam Purcell & Cane Mill Road, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Larry Stephenson Band, The Punches, The Kody Norris Show, Lori King & Junction 63, The Grascals, The Trailblazers, Joe Mullins & Radio Ramblers,  and the Roving Gambler Band.

Today is a day off at Silver Dollar City so we decided to just take a day off too! We thought we would see about the Showboat Branson Belle, but it is closed.... then we were going to catch the 2:30 show here at the Little Opry nearby.... but then it just felt good to sit.  Maybe we will grill some salmon here in awhile!
