              7 They had been explored by twelve women from an Athletic Club, and for many years used as an entertainment place. When we came out of the caverns it was raining. We boarded the bus and headed for Branson, arriving there at 5:45 p.m. We went into our rooms for a few minutes, then to Shoneys and had salad bar. Back on the bus, we were ready to enjoy our first show. Tonight we were going to the Delene Show. Harley W orthit, a good comic, was also on the show. Everybody enjoyed Delene. She had great songs. After the show we were driven back to JR's Motel where we stayed for one week. Thursday, October 28, we awoke to the sound of rain. For our continental breakfast, we had to walk across the street. Then we were on our way to the Ronnie Prophet Show. His theatre is connected to the mall. We enjoyed the show and had a lot of laughs with his friend, Bessie. She came and took a man from our group to perform with Ronnie. It was hilarious. After the show, we had our lunch at the mall. At 2:00 p.m., we got on the bus with an extra passenger, who told us to call her Loo Loo. She was our guide for the tour of Branson. We went to the Ozarks and visited the Table Rock Dam. On one side there is the warm lake and, on the other side, it is cold. The White River was converted into a lake named Tanaycome. We also saw a fish hatchery, then we went to see the college and the lovely grounds. Unbelievably, there is no tuition fee. The students work on the grounds or in town and their wages go for their college fees. Our tour was very interesting and informative. We were driven back to JR's, said goodbye to Loo Loo, and went out for supper. We had a nice sunny day after the morning rain. At 7:00 p.m., we left for the Dutton Show, consisting of seven children and their parents. They sing, dance and play many instruments. During their performance, some of them would come down among the audience. Again, they took a man from our group to perform on the stage. We were becoming famous now, with two stars on our bus. We were ready to call it a day. Friday, October 29, we woke to a warm, cloudy morning, went out for our continental breakfast and were on the bus at 8:30 a.m. This morning we were going to have a group photo taken, compliments of Fred, who, later, gave us a copy. We shopped for half an hour at a Giftware Outlet Store. At 9:30 a.m., we departed for Silver Dollar City. It is a very interesting park, with lots to see and lots of entertainment. There is also a cave in this park. To fully enjoy everything. one would need to spend a day there. We stayed about three hours, then went back to our rooms and relaxed for awhile.
