Next, Convoy of Hope and a slew of others are putting on a Family Preparedness Festival this weekend in Springfield. It is a way to learn how to prepare for emergencies and learn what resources are available for you locally. If you go by any Starbucks location or O'Reilly Auto Parts Store, you can pick up free tickets but they're also available for only $3 at the door. Senior citizens and children (12 & under) are free.

We are going to Branson and I found this website. You just put in the dates you will be there and it tells you which shows are running. I thought that was neat. Boy, there are a lot of shows.
