Danny Branson's Branson Giveaway Results

I want to thank everyone for their participation in the hastily thrown together Danny Branson's Branson Giveaway. It was a pleasure to work together with so many businesses in the Branson community.

Below I will highlight some of the items to be given away as well as talk a little bit about the people responsible. You may have heard over the years that Branson folks work together. I testify to this as being fact.

The names of our winners are scattered below and mixed with the prizes. I did things this way for a purpose we can talk about another time. Reading carefully will only take a couple of minutes.

One person won 2 prizes! This was done randomly.

Hamners' Variety Theater

I contacted my friends at Hamners' and told them in broad strokes what I was trying to do, hoped to accomplish and the reason. Everyone there is always so helpful.

This time it was my good friend Vance who jumped in. He is not only their Sales & Marketing Director, Vance is a great guy with deep roots in the area.

About The Giveaway

Hamners' Unbelievable Variety Show includes world-class acrobats, illusionists, aerialists, live music and more. It is a spectacular variety show that Tony Hampton and a guest will have the pleasure of attending.

Thank You for the Music - A Modern Tribute to ABBA is another fun show. Stephen Odom recently gave me some inside information about this and other shows he's in. I know Betty Jones-Schutt-Cruse will enjoy this show as she will receive 2 complimentary passes.

I love the music of the Beach Boys and the Beach Boys California Dreamin' show is so much fun! Lawayne Tutor was randomly selected to receive 2 passes for this show.

Branson Local Businesses

Another friend to Branson is Mr. Bill Bondon. Bill owns BransonLocalBusinesses.com and has a love for Branson and our visitors. Bill so graciously agreed to sponsor the following 3 giveaways, so please visit his website and show him some love in return.

Melissa Smith Pansano will receive 2 $10 certificates to Pickin Porch Grill located inside Branson Craft Mall. They have delicious food and live music at scheduled times.

Lori-Kevin Bayne will receive a $25 gift card to Mulberry Mill located inside The Grand Village.

Bill also donated $25 at the Branson Cafe. That gift is included in the Grand Prize and will be announced later. Thanks again Bill!

Grand Country Music Hall

Mike Patrick and the folks at Grand Country have given so much to our community - both monetarily and with their time and other resources. When it comes to Mike, I am a huge fan and don't want to gush too much and embarrass us both.

For this particular giveaway, Michelle Ingle and a guest will receive passes to see any upcoming show at Grand Country Music Hall. The certificates are marked 2027 so be sure to plan accordingly.

We will have more from Grand Country in future giveaways.

Sons Of Britches at Branson's IMAX Entertainment Complex

When I spoke to my friend Louis Darby he said, "Anything I can do!" and thanks to him, Laura Goodson-Abell and a guest can see Sons Of Britches at no charge.

The Sons Of Britches is a fun improvisational live music show. They play everything - Classic Country, Classic Rock, Cajun, Gospel, Swing... I've even heard them play TV show themes.

I've known Louis and his partner Earl for years. I mean it when I say, they are both immensely talented and funny guys.

Branson Terry Music Awards

Maybe I shouldn't say this, but I am going to say it anyway. The Terry Awards are the best awards show Branson has to offer. From the red carpet to the live performances, Terry Beene and his staff make it better every year.

All proceeds go towards blessing people who work in the entertainment industry - from parking lot attendants to box office employees to musicians.

They say, "we help in times of need" and they do. In fact, through All Access Branson Terry is providing James Lock and a guest with great seats to the 2026 show.

Pasghetti's Restaurant & Attraction

From the time you walk into Pasghetti's you will be amazed. It is beautiful and unique. I especially love it at Christmastime!

My friends Nolan & Babette Fogle have transformed Branson with their own restaurants and by providing inspiration to other businesses. People stop to take pictures of what they have created and I think that is super cool!

Vickie Newton you will receive a certificate valued at $40 to be used at Pasghetti's!

Abby's Tourist Trap

This giveaway has lots of mouths watering. Shawn Brownsey I hope you like fudge, because you will get 1.5 pounds of Abby's famous fudge!

Abby's Tourist Trap is located next to The Dutton Family Complex, across from white water. Be sure to see their show if you can. They are an unbelievably talented family!

El Lago Mexican Restaurants

Everyone who knows me, knows that I love El Lago. I eat there multiple times a week when I'm in Branson and never tire of the food, fun atmosphere, kind workers or anything else.

Melissa Smith Pansano you are in for a good time and some good food. You will receive a $50 Gift Card to be used at any El Lago location.

Final Thoughts

I will either update this article or write a separate article to include the Grand Prize Giveaway and an additional Themed Suite Giveaway by Branson King Resort & Suites.

If you won a prize here, you are still eligible for the Grand Prize and additional Themed Suite Prize.
