              8 After supper we departed for the Presley's Jubilee Theatre for the Presleys Show. It was also a family show of music and comedy. The grandfather played a guitar. One of the children, about six years old, sang. We enjoyed the entertainment. When we were boarding the bus after the show, it was raining quite hard. Edna and I went out for coffee at Shoneys before going to bed. Sunday, October 30, was going to be a busy day. We were up, had breakfast, and on the bus by 8: 15 a.m. Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum was on our list for today, followed by the Roy Rogers Show, hosted by his son, Dusty. It had a much different style than the other shows, but just as enjoyable. We were taken back to our rooms with free time for lunch and shopping. At 3:00 p.m., we went to the MGH Performing Arts Centre to watch the Incredible AcrQbats of China perform. They certainly were incredible! After this performance, we were taken to the Golden Coral restaurant for a Dinner Show. Both were excellent. We were entertained by Allen Edwards, who introduced us to his mother and, as it turned out; she is the owner of this place. The cost of this evening was included in our tour package. Tonight was our only free evening in Branson, so we did our homework and went out for coffee. Sunday, October 31, Halloween, and time to turn our clocks back one hour (a reminder from Fred). Today we had a leisurely morning since the bus wasn't leaving until 10:00 a.m. Over at the coffee shop I met "Bessie" from the Ronnie Prophet show. She works there part time. I had an enjoyable conversation with her. As we were boarding the bus this morning, we had a few good laughs. Some people were wearing masks and funny hats. Jo was a witch with green hair. She even had a broomstick for a few minutes. Now we were on our way to the showboat, the Branson Belle, at White River Landing for a luncheon cruise. The boat was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Today was their first Christmas performance for this year. The entertainment was excellent. We left there about 2:30 p.m. and headed for the IMAX Theatre. The show we watched was about Australia. After the show we browsed in the gift shop until six 0' clock. At that time we all went into the restaurant for supper. Part of our group were seated at a round table. Halfway through their meal, that table began to rise. This was a Halloween prank at that restaurant!
