Brunch at McFarlain's in Branson.
Meet us at McFarlain's for some food and fun. Breakfast prices
range from $4 to $6. Following, you'll have time to have a look
around Branson while we head back to Springfield to get ready
for the big Party!
If
you are new to Branson, here are some suggestions on how to spend
your afternoon:
- Outlet
Malls - Three to choose from, so you can really shop til you
drop and save money while you're at it!
- Go Carts
and Mini Golf - for the kid in all of us
- Silver
Dollar City - Go back in time to the 1800s when things were
simpler, but a funnel cake will still run you 5 bucks.
- Ride
the Ducks - Its a bus, its a boat! Take a tour of the Branson
area, including a dip in Tablerock lake on one of these submersible
vehicles.
- Live
Shows (we love the Incredible Acrobats of China)

Celebration at Hickock's Restaurant

us as we host an official celebration of our wedding. We'll be
serving desserts galore, so eat something healthy before you arrive!
We'll share our photos and memories of our trip to NZ, and we'll
all get involved in the fun with the entertainment - dueling pianos.
 |
"What
are dueling pianos?" you ask. Well, Dueling Pianos is
a sing-along, clap-along, play-along, dance-along, have one-heck-ova- |
| good-time
party.The desired result is a night of extreme singing, clapping,
dancing, and, our favorite, laughing. |
Piano players on two separate pianos perform your favorite
hits from every era imaginable. From Elvis to Eminem, Abba
to ZZ Top, Neil |
 |
| Diamond
to AC/DC, they’ve got it covered. Other popular selections
are Billy Joel, Dave Mathews, The Beatles, and more. It’s
up to the audience to decide what music is played, so we encourage
you to start thinking about your favorite songs now. In fact,
we would love it if you would email
us some songlist suggestions. |
