More Branson Adventures

Today we went back out to Table Rock Lake to bike and to go to the Corps of Engineers Dewey Short Visitor Center.


The Corps gives this description: "The visitor center has exhibits about the White River Watershed, local habitats, Table Rock Dam, and the US Army Corps of Engineers as well as several interactive exhibits including maps, power generation and water safety. It also features an overlook which allows visitors to view Table Rock Lake, the dam, and Lake Taneycomo from one viewing deck. The center shows a 20 minute film entitled, "Taming of the Riviera Blanche". This film is an introduction to the Table Rock Lake/White River area and details the construction and purpose of Table Rock Dam." Of course we did it all.


In the evening we went to see the Haygoods.  Currently five brothers and their sister perform in the show. It is quite a spectacle, with laser lights, foggers, pyrotechnics, and performers arriving via zip line, but it is also a group of very talented musicians. They put on a very entertaining, fast moving show.

Catherine sings and plays the saxophone, violin, piano, drums, guitar and harp during the show. [pic from https://thehaygoods.com/2017/08/haygood-profile-catherine-haygood/]
