Bound for Branson?
Plumb Nellie Days is kind of a big deal down in Branson. It’s a springtime tradition that will be gearing up this weekend, May 16-18. There will be arts and crafts - 120 booths - under a tent on the Awbery parking lot at Commercial and Pacific streets in downtown Branson, just behind Dick’s Old-Fashioned 5 & Dime.
This is the 35th year for the event that also includes sidewalk sales, the Outrageous Dog show and other family fun. The dog show contest includes categories for longest ears, cutest puppy, ugliest dog, most talented, shortest legs, most spots, longest tail, owner look-alike and other divisions. And we hear that every dog will win a prize.
