For the past several months, a good friend of our restaurant, Gail Hinshaw, has been after me to join this century, start a Facebook page, Twitter, and do a Blog. OK, Gail, here's the blog. If it's a disaster, it's all on me. If it turns out to be a success, it's because of your prodding me along. Thanks for that, my friend.
I wanted to talk briefly today about our experiences in Branson, since we moved here. We have met some of the most amazing people in the restaurant, as well as in meetings, and at different shows and attractions we've attended. Branson is the most incredible place, full of wholesome, family energy. It's a town of 6,000 that attracts 7 million visitors per year. Everyone who comes here is here to have a good time. That's a great atmosphere to live in!
We have been honored to meet so many terrific performers, and so many wonderful people as well. We love all of these shows, and hope people will check them out--Six, Cat's Pajamas, Rock and Roll is Here to Stay, Pierce Arrow, Shoji Tabuchi, The Rankin Brothers, George Dyer, Hamner Barber, Presleys, Baldnobbers, Clay Cooper, Spirit of the Dance, Jeerk, The Hughes Brothers, The Duttons, Country Tonite, Taylor Reed and many, many more. If I didn't list you, please forgive me. We have yet to see a show in Branson that we didn't love. Some of the shows, we just haven't gotten to yet, but we will, as time allows.
Our good friends at Rock and Roll is Here to Stay recently got a 10 day notice that their theater was closing. They are in the process of moving to God and Country Theater, where their show will take place at 5:00 Tues-Sat. Check out these really fine perfomers if you get a chance. They deserve your attention.
Thanks for paying attention to my initial ramblings. Our goal is to interact with our friends and patrons, to continue to make The Gardens Restaurant the best it can be. Your thoughts, wisdom, suggestions, and even criticisms are welcome. Don't be too critical, please. I'm a very sensitive guy, after all! Joe
Well, Joe, Gail Hinshaw here. If you want to give me credit for getting you to start using social media to promote your restaurant that is fine. I hope you understand my reasoning in doing so. Purely selfish. Your restaurant is more than just a place to eat; it is a true dining experience worth repeating many times. My wife and I have taken many of our friends to your establishment and they all loved the experience. Now they are bringing their friends there as well. Boy, do we look good recommending you to them:)
ReplyDeleteBecause you are not located on the Branson Strip, folks need to know about you to find you. But once they do, they will be hooked like my wife and I have become hooked along with our friends. Be sure to tell everybody about all the awards you guys have won as well as the great entertainment!
Keep up the good work and people will get so they can’t leave Branson without at least one meal at The Gardens.
