The Mayor of Branson issued two proclamations honoring cornerstones of Branson’s tourism and entertainment industries at the April 26, 2022 Board of Alderman Meeting.
The proclamations, one for the Baldknobbers, and the second for Harold Bell Wright and the Shepherd of the Hills outdoor drama, are bookending what Alderman Marshall Howden called “Founder’s Week” in Branson.
“The mayor has announced the celebration of musical Founder’s Week to be held from April 27 to May 4,” Howden said. “Over the past year, the city has celebrated multiple musical holidays honoring such legends as Shoji Tabuchi, Glenn Robinson, and the Mabe family of Baldknobbers fame. As this project continues, the need for an entire week honoring the individuals who began this musical tradition arose.”
