Participants will show their patriotic pride by wearing their own fashions in a Red, White and Blue Style Show Tuesday, Nov. 7, at 2 p.m. at Justin Flom’s Magic Parlor (second floor Majestic Building 2849 Gretna). Admission is free and light refreshments will be served at this event, according to Linda Ward, chair. The style show is part of Veterans Week and the Branson Veterans Task Force’s 13th Annual Veteran Homecoming to be held in Branson Nov. 5-11.
“Over the past 13 years of Veterans Homecoming festivities, we have seen many great red, white and blue ensembles worn by locals and our visitors that we thought they should be featured in a special event. This is open to anyone, children and adults, male and female, who would like to wear their patriotic styles in the fashion show,” said Ward. “Showcased will be locals, tourists, celebrities and especially our veterans and active military along with patriotic fashions from Branson shops.”
Many volunteers are helping. Louise Harrison, sister of Beatles George Harrison, and Cheryl Gabriel of the “Doug Gabriel Show” and “Branson Spotlight” will emcee. Justin Flom from the Magic Parlor is the host. Entertainment will be provided by Kim and Dan Christian of Branson’s “Music Makes the World Go Round” set to open in 2007 at the Tower Theatre. Branson Veterans Task Force is the event sponsor with support from America’s Presidency and Justin Flom’s Magic Parlor. Committee members are Stormy Snow, Dawn Easton and Pam Brown. To model or for more information contact Ward at 417-332-0167.
This is just one of a host of new and free events happening during Veterans Homecoming Nov. 5-11. They include the 72nd annual Veterans Day Parade, opening ceremonies with Lee Greenwood and Moe Bandy and closing ceremonies with Pat Boone and Barbara Fairchild. More events are a troop train, a day room, Rose Petal Ceremony honoring women veterans, a USO-style big band dance and a vendor village where an All-American lunch will be served 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. free Monday through Friday to veterans and active duty personnel.
