Ride The Ducks is saluting Veterans this fall in Branson! From September 3, 2008 through November 16, 2008, Veterans will be celebrated with a patriotic salute and a special ticket offer. All Veterans, Active Duty Military, National Guard and Reserves buy 3 tickets and get 1 free.

While Ride The Ducks is proud to honor Veterans every day of the year, this celebration brings out the red, white and blue with a star-spangled land and lake sightseeing adventure. Quack along to patriotic and military music, see historic military vehicles, ride an amphibious DUKW and experience a heart-felt salute to our service men and women.

Veterans will be saluted at both Ride The Ducks locations in Branson. Enjoy a 60-minute excursion through historic Downtown Branson and splash into Lake Taneycomo for a ducks eye view of Branson Landing or set out on a 70-minute adventure that includes cruising Branson’s 76 Country Music Boulevard, fantastic Ozark views from high atop Baird Mountain and a fun-filled splashdown into Table Rock Lake. The Downtown/Lake Taneycomo excursion departs Branson Landing from the Ride The Ducks kiosk near Bass Pro. The Table Rock Lake/Baird Mountain adventure departs the Ride The Ducks dock at 2320 West Highway 76, just west of Wal-Mart on the 76 strip.

Ride The Ducks, the nation’s largest amphibious sightseeing company, offers unique land and water adventures that are fun, informative and family friendly. United States Coast Guard licensed Captains entertain guests with stories that you won’t want to miss. It’s the best way for Veterans to enjoy the sights, sounds and history of the Branson area.

Robby Hultz, Ride The Ducks General Manager in Branson, says, “We are very proud of our veterans and wanted to designate a special time this fall to say thank you for their dedication and service to our country.”

The Ride The Ducks amphibious vehicle is based on the famous WWII DUKW design and all vehicles are United States Coast Guard certified. Ride The Ducks heritage stems from the brave men who boarded these amphibious vehicles in WWII to serve the United States of America and the women, like Rosie the Riveter, who built these amazing vehicles while the men were off to war.

Ride The Ducks International has entertained millions of guests in the United States with owned operations in Branson, Baltimore and Philadelphia and licensed operations in San Francisco, Seattle, Stone Mountain Park, Georgia and Newport, Kentucky. Ride The Ducks International is a subsidiary of Herschend Family Entertainment (HFE). HFE owns numerous entertainment venues, including Silver Dollar City, Showboat Branson Belle and Celebration City in Branson, MO.

Ride The Ducks operates seven days a week during daylight hours. Tickets can be purchased by calling 877-887-8225. Special discounts apply for groups of 15 or more. For more information about Ride The Ducks in Branson, visit www.bransonducks.com.

Chateau on the Lake Resort, Spa & Convention Center in Branson, Missouri, has captured two more awards from the meetings industry, Meetings & Conventions magazine's highly coveted "Gold Key Award” for 2008, and Association Meetings magazine"s prestigious “Inner Circle Award” for 2008. Plaques commemorating the awards will be presented to Stephen Marshall, vice president and general manager of the AAA Four-Diamond resort, which stands on a beautiful Ozark mountaintop overlooking scenic Table Rock Lake. The 301-room resort boasts the largest convention center in Southwest Missouri, with 43,500 square feet of flexible meeting space, and the ability to host groups from 10 to 3,000.

“Consistently receiving these honors recognizes that Chateau on the Lake Resort, Spa & Convention Center is an outstanding choice for meetings, incentive groups and conventions,” said Marshall. “Not only does the resort have a beautiful mountaintop and lakefront setting, exceptional on-site offerings, and a great location near all of the diverse entertainment options of Branson, but we are consistently recognized for providing exceptional service too.”

The “Gold Key Award” is presented annually to the finest meeting properties in the world, as nominated and selected by the readers of Meetings & Conventions magazine. Votes are based on the overall professionalism and quality of the property, and on such criteria as staff attitude, quality of meeting rooms, quality of guest services, food and beverage service, proficiency of handling reservations, availability of technical/support equipment, and range of recreational facilities. Winners will be showcased in the magazine’s November 2008 issue.

Association Meetings magazine’s “2008 Inner Circle Award” was presented to only 40 hotels and resorts. Properties were selected by the magazine’s readers for their high level of service, flexible function space, quality of food and beverage, and good value on room rates. Winners were profiled in the magazine’s August 2008 issue.

Ranked by Expedia as one of the top 50 hotels in the world for value and quality, Chateau on the Lake Resort, Spa & Convention Center offers something to please virtually anyone.

Boasting an impressive 10-story sky-lit atrium that features meandering streams brimming with colorful Koi fish, the resort provides breathtaking vistas of the lake, lush gardens, and surrounding mountains. Its 301 spacious guest rooms and suites feature cherry wood beds, down comforters, tiled stone baths, dual-line telephones with data port, WiFi access (at a nominal fee), iron and ironing board, coffee maker, in-room movies and music (at a nominal fee), and in-room safes.

Recreational options at the resort include the impressive 14,000-square-foot Spa Chateau. The full-service European-style spa, which opened in 2006, features 10 luxurious treatment rooms; customized body treatments; a soothing Infinity Tub that is filled from the ceiling; a decadent Roman Bath situated beneath a waterfall overlooking Table Rock Lake; a lake-view Movement Therapy Studio for Yoga; and a unique Barber Spa.

The resort’s Chateau on the Lake Marina, open most of the year, offers more water sports activities than any other resort in the Midwest. Offerings at the full-service marina include an array of watercraft rentals, which includes ski boats, fishing boats, waverunners, catamarans, paddle boats, sea kayaks, and canoes. Parasailing, guided fishing excursions, scuba diving, and snorkeling are among the many other available options. With 850 miles of pristine shoreline and 80 miles of crystal blue water, Table Rock Lake is a perfect water playground for groups.

Additional recreational offerings at Chateau on the Lake include a 24-hour fitness center, two lighted tennis courts, a year-round indoor pool, an outdoor (seasonal) pool, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, nature and biking trails, the 54-seat Sassafras Movie Theater, Crawdaddies Kids Club, and full-service concierge. Golf at six area courses, which includes two of Missouri’s finest, also is available to groups and guests.

The resort’s dining options include the award-winning Chateau Grille, which features a stunning view of Table Rock Lake and is known for its elegant presentation and exceptional cuisine. Casual fare options include: the 9th Street Italian Deli, serving bistro-style sandwiches, hand-made pizza, and “to go” box lunches; the Atrium Café & Wine Bar, located in the lobby beside an indoor waterfall and stream; and The Sweet Shoppe, offering hand-dipped ice cream, baked goods, candies, and specialty coffees.

New Frosty Show Celebrates Dancing Snowman

Silver Dollar City’s An Old Time Christmas, one of the nation’s most acclaimed Christmas celebrations, presents the spectacular Christmas on Main Street featuring the Five-Story Special Effects Christmas Tree and a light and sound show on the Square, plus the acclaimed musical production “A Dickens’ Christmas Carol,” the colorful Holiday Light Parade, a dramatic production of the Living Nativity and over 4 million lights throughout the park. New this year, the park presents Frosty, an interactive musical show where kids help bring the legendary snowman to life, all part of the festival running November 1 – December 30.

With the colorful 5-Story Special Effects Tree as a centerpiece, the Christmas on Main Street show includes one million lights - lights on buildings, in hanging canopies over the city streets and on 250 Christmas trees around the Square. As the 5-Story Tree blazes in synchronization with the musical movements of Christmas songs, the lights around Main Street flash along with it, accompanied by surround-sound, immersing guests in the experience. The performance begins with the tree-lighting ceremony at 5:30 p.m. and runs throughout the evening.

Profiled as one of the top Christmas celebrations in the country by USA Today, Good Morning America and Southern Living, An Old Time Christmas transforms the theme park into an evening wonderland with over four million lights and 1,000 decorated Christmas trees. The colorful Holiday Light Parade, with musical floats covered in bright lights, winds through the streets of the City each evening.

Silver Dollar City’s acclaimed production, A Dickens’ Christmas Carol, is an original musical adaptation of the famous classic by Charles Dickens. The show features elaborate sets and stunning visual effects, with flying spirits, vanishing ghosts, revolving scenery and pyrotechnic special effects. The production showcases a cast of 14 actors, accompanied by a live band. 

The tastes of the season are in abundance throughout the park, from a Prime Rib Buffet at the Mill Restaurant to traditional favorites such as Turkey and Gravy with Cran-Apple Raisin Dressing. Festive holiday treats include old-fashioned Chocolate and Marshmallow S’Mores, Gingerbread Cookies, Apple Dumplings, Hot Wassail, Cappucino and creamy Hot Chocolate. Kids can sign up for a special lunch with Santa, available weekends throughout the festival.

Holiday shows include Cedric Benoit and the Cajun Connection performing in a Cajun-style holiday show, and the rollicking Christmas comedy “Frontier Fa-la-la Follies” in the Silver Dollar Saloon. Tracy Heaston and Pure Heart perform in “A Christmas Homecoming.”
   
Especially for kids, Santa is available to hear requests, and kids can make ornaments, create Christmas cards and decorate Christmas cookies. Guests are invited to join in the singing of Christmas carols at the historic Wilderness Church and ride the Silver Dollar Sing-Along Steam Train.
