Fabulous February!
02.08.18
Fabulous February is here & it has been fabulous! Normally here in Branson things are slow, even quiet, but not this year! Jan. 19th I hit the road with Spoken 4 Quartet & traveled to Galveston, TX where we boarded Carnival Cruise ship ‘Breeze’! We had 4 shows in 7 days with ports of call in Cozumel, Belize, & Honduras! Even Gma Beulah played tourist on the beaches of Mahogany Bay, Roatan Honduras!
The second we disembarked the ship in Galveston, I was in an Uber & on my to Houston, TX. to board a plane & fly to Charlotte, N.C.. There I joined CJ & Chris Newsom for the ABA ~ American Bus Association convention to invite them to bring their tour coaches to see CJ Newsom’s Classic Country & Comedy show (Formerly known as Classic Country’s Patsy Cline & Friends show)! It was a major success & then we took our time driving back to Branson!
We made stops in Asheville, N.C. to visit the Biltmore Estate…
Then Pigeon Forge to take a private tour of Dollywood…
Next was Nashville to see the Grand Ole Opry! It had been 29 years since I was in the Opryland studios, this is where I filmed 13 episodes of ‘Hee Haw’ the fall of 1989! We visited the Patsy Cline museum where we were honored to meet & visit with Julie Fudge ~ Patsy’s daughter!
After a long trip in snow & icy roads on Sunday, we hit the ground running on Monday! CJ & I (As Barney Fife) were celebrity judges for the annual MOB ‘Soup-er Bowl’ where we taste-tested/judged 34 bowls of soup!
Friday & Saturday, Feb. 9th & 10th, CJ & I appeared at the Liberty Theatre in Hartshorne, OK. for their annual Valentine’s Day dinner & show at 6:30 PM on both Friday & Saturday night! Sunday morning we left McAllister, OK & headed to Cushing, OK. where we made an appearance at the First Church of God at 10:30 AM! A great time was had by all & thanks to Pastor Kevin Clouse for allowing us to do the service with song, testimony, & humor too!
