As always, your Captain will be full of tall tales and have you quacking Happy Trails as you experience the ride of a lifetime. Hang onto your hat.

Salute to Veterans: September 18-October 31 Celebrate the red, white and blue with our star-spangled land and water adventure as we salute America’s amazing service men and women. See the Ozarks riding an amphibious vehicle based on the famous WWII DUKW design. Quack along to patriotic music and see historic military vehicles as your US Coast Guard licensed Captain shares stories of the brave men who boarded these vehicles in WWII to serve the USA and the women, like Rosie the Riveter, who helped build them. An amphibian travels on land and water and you’ll experience that excitement as you head right into the lake for a Splashdown. You can even drive if you want as we salute America’s veterans.
Ducks Go Boo: October 1-October 31 Hop on a duck for a fun-filled Ozarks adventure full of screams and squeals. Expect tricks from your Captain as we treat you to a trip through our own haunted forest. Watch out for ghosts, bats, spiders and other creepy creatures of the night. Your family will have a howling good time as we spin ghost stories on this old-fashioned duck-style hayride. Decorate your own pumpkin or Trick-or-Treat bag in our Kid Splash Room and watch out for things that go boo. It’s spooktacular.
Holiday Lights…Duck Style: November 5-December 12 Nothing gets you ready for the holidays like a sleigh ride duck-style. We’ve strung the lights and hung the mistletoe for a sparkling light filled adventure you won’t want to miss. Sing and quack along with your Captain as you listen to Christmas favorites and hear stories of Ozarks Christmas traditions. Bundle up as we head through our own lighted forest of twinkling snowflakes, festive candy canes and other holiday favorites.

Presley Family To Launch Weekly Show on RFD-TV
Branson, MO/Nashville, TN – Executives of RFD-TV announced today a multi-year agreement with Branson’s First Family of Entertainment, The Presleys’, to produce and air a series of half-hour music, variety, and entertainment television shows which will begin airing in March/2010.
The weekly television show, Presleys’ Country Jubilee, will mirror the proven format perfected by the family during their 42-year run of their high-energy performances at Branson’s original music theater. The program will be produced on stage of the Presley Theatre in Branson, Missouri, and star three generations of the Presley family along with their multi-talented cast who have kept patrons coming back year after year.
“The Presley family is an absolutely perfect fit for RFD-TV”, stated Patrick Gottsch, founder & president of the rural-themed television network currently distributed into over 40 million homes worldwide. “Our audience loves country, gospel, bluegrass, and family-oriented humor. To have all these interests combined into one, terrific, fast-paced show with the Presley touch is sure to be a hit.” The Show’s producers have also scheduled special guest appearances by other Branson performers.
RFD-TV will premier Presleys’ Country Jubilee in prime-time on Saturday nights each week in the middle of its very successful “music row” lineup at 8:30pm (eastern), 7:30pm (central), following The Marty Stuart Show and preceding Midwest Country. In addition, the show will enjoy two repeat airings during the week.
“The Nielsen ratings for RFD-TV’s 6-hour Saturday night schedule of back-to-back music & entertainment has been off-the-charts,” added Ed Zachary, Director of National Sales for RFD-TV. “Presleys’ Country Jubilee will certainly add to this momentum as viewers around the country continue to come back to good, family-oriented programming and rediscover television like it used to be.”
“The Presley family and our entire cast could not be more excited about this opportunity to showcase Branson entertainment to millions of new viewers”, stated Steve Presley, Vice-President of Presley Entertainment. “What was started by our family in a cave in the Ozarks can now truly echo around the world thanks to RFD-TV and RURAL TV”.
“The creative juices are flowing, and everyone associated with the theatre is looking forward to the challenge of producing a weekly television show,” added Gary Presley, President of the family run enterprise. “The production of 26 new shows each year will give us a chance to showcase our entire cast and variety of material, plus do some things that we have not done on stage to date.”
