Magazine names The Communities at Branson Creek as one of the Top 50 Best Master-Planned Communities in the U.S.
Where to Retire Magazine revealed "The Short List: 50 Best Master-Planned Communities in the United States" in the national publication’s July/August issue on newsstands now.
Research for the awards began nearly a year ago when Where to Retire editors gathered information on more than 150 communities across the nation and eventually zeroed in on those that are amenity-rich, with clubhouses, recreation and activities to help residents stay fully engaged.
The Communities at Branson Creek, by McMillin Communities, a California-based master-planned community developer and home builder, represents McMillin’s first venture into Missouri. However, the home-building company is well-known in California and Texas, with a total of 17 master-planned communities developed and 30,000 homes built since its founding in 1960.
Today, McMillin Communities is ranked 41st nationwide among residential builders. McMillin’s The Communities at Branson Creek features two of the top five golf courses in the state of Missouri in Murder Rock Golf and Country Club and Branson Creek Golf Club. Each course has won numerous accolades from the nation’s top golf publications.
The 6,500 acre community also boasts more than 15 miles of hiking, biking and walking trails that loop around four distinct neighborhoods. Community Parks and neighborhood pools dot the landscape at Branson Creek. From 1100-square-foot townhomes in Fieldstone Pines to 3000-square-foot home offerings in Fieldstone Bluffs, Branson Creek offers something for everyone.

Bill Anderson - A Night With A Legend
7 p.m.
He has been a major recording artist for a half-century, selling millions of records worldwide on his way to earning membership in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Now, for the first time, this award-winning superstar writer/performer is showcasing both sides of his undeniable talent in "A Night With A Legend," a live, two-hour concert now touring across the U.S. and Canada.
It's a full-band show with an acoustical sound and feel...a warm, intimate look at both Bill Anderson, the songwriter, and Bill Anderson, the song-stylist and consummate performer.
The first half of the show is relaxed and casual, taking the audience on a trip down Nashville's famed Music Row where Anderson sings and tells stories behind the creation of such country classic as "Tips of My Fingers," "Saginaw, Michigan," "Once A Day", "The Lord Knows I'm Drinking," and the afore-mentioned "City Lights." He moves onto the current country scene showcasing such recent compositions as "Give It Away" and "Whiskey Lullaby," both voted CMA Song of the Year, and other chart-toppers like "I'll Wait For You," "Two Teardrops," "A Lot of Things Different," and "Wish You Were Here."
Following a brief intermission, Anderson returns to the stage in full rhinestoned costume and offers the crowd a rousing Saturday night visit to the Grand Ole Opry, where he has been a member since 1961. He sings such signature hits as "Still," "Po' Folks," "I Love You Drops," "Wild Weekend," and others. He pauses for a personal Q&A session with audience members then wraps up each show by fulfilling requests. No two shows are alike, but each one is warm, humorous, nostalgic, and toe-tappin' good.
