Start a Family Christmas Tradition at Dolly Parton’s Stampede

Blogger Event

One of the most fun events that I attended while in Branson, MO was Dolly Parton’s Stampede. I was in Branson for the Blogging Branson event. It was a trip where I was with a large group of bloggers who attended many events over a few days. I paid my way to get there, but once I got there my lodging, entertainment and food were taken care of completely. At Dolly Parton’s Stampede Dinner Attraction we had a special reception just for the bloggers and it was so much fun.

When you arrive at Dolly Parton’s Stampede they have entertainment for the crowd to enjoy prior to the dinner show. There are three levels in a round because there can be as many as 1500 people in attendance. I can hardly believe that they can do up to five shows a day. That is incredible. It is, however, not unbelievable after witnessing the efficiency with which Dolly Parton’s Stampede takes care of business. First patrons warm up with pre-show entertainment. We got to hear Christmas songs in the Carriage Room from a trio of musical brothers, the White River Wranglers.

While visiting Branson, MO we had lunch at Pasghetti’s which is home to not one but two of the World’s largest things. They have the World’s largest Fork and Meatball at the entrance to the building. That is just the start of all the things that you will see once you get inside of Pasghetti’s.

As you have seen in my previous blogging Branson posts I was on a trip for a few days in Branson, MO. I paid for my flights there but all activities once I landed and my lodging was taken care of. That includes the meal at Pasghetti’s. We only had a short time at Pasghetti’s and there was a lot to take in. Obviously the name comes from the cute way that children try to say spaghetti, so it is a family friendly place. You can get a decent meal for the family in this restaurant that has the feel of a 1920’s New York City. I took my phone through the whole place and did a livestream. You can see it all in the video below.
