It's your normal "touristy" venue.  Traffic is a real challenge on the one lane main drag thru town.

I would love to plan to go to the 2017 gathering, but with no a/c (and know I'm not the only one) July is out for that kind of travel for me. Mid to late May would be much better. Kansas City, KS sounds good.

Branson is a tourist town, but only Hwy 76 on the strip is bad. Generally, with the alternative routes you can get around everywhere with little trouble, but there will be traffic. I plan one trip a year for our Corvette Club (National Park Corvette Club in Hot Springs, AR) and we have little issue getting around.

The big draw for Branson is: shows, venues, food, shopping and great places to cruise in your Vette. Since it is a tourist based town, there is more to do there than most places! Lastly, its not just a country music place anymore. NPCC is going in October and we are seeing Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits with BJ Thomas and the Liverpool Legends a Beatles tribute band.

That's my thoughts,
John

Visions of Pigeon Forge in 2006 come to mind...!!!  AngryCensoredDead  Wouldn't want to repeat that if at all possible.  But then with a group of Corvettes we create our own traffic jams...!!!  LOL

I like the idea of TEXAS Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, don't care all sounds good to me and not too far from Arizona. Texas is doable just gotta plan the right time.

Not much action on this issue! Are we making any headway? Do we need to start the poll?

Fellow member Mike Shefchik and I would be glad to set up the events at Branson if that is Adam's choice.
