It looks like the weather in Branson has been hot, wet, and humid. Fun times! I am very much ready for the cooler, drier, Canadian air to filter into the area. Those make for the BEST Silver Dollar City days. ;D

That and the craft festival. I think they should promote a music festival along with it. Didn't they used to promote the bluegrass more in the fall?

It used to be the Festival of American Music and Craftsmanship. We miss the different music during the  Fall Festival.

My husband and I miss it, too. Really liked having so many different groups playing in the park.

The Ark/MoMo line has been inundated with ran. A person from Mt. Home stated it had rained 17 straight days there on Sat. Morning. The wife went to visit her Dad over in Boxley Valley and said the water at the Ark 21 bridge was to the steel supports with vehicles loads with rafts and kayaks coming from all directions. This is bonus time for those types and they have had several this year getting floatable water this late.

Hot yes, dry not so much. If dry means no rain then yes, you are correct. The humidty is crazy

sanddunerider

Dry- No rain.. yes

Humidity you say?  last 3 days we hav e been 71 degrees for overnite low and 87 - 89% humidity in the morning~!!!!........ :-\

All I'm saying is that if you ride any wet rides, you will end up staying that way all day.

They have those crazy blowers that you pay to step into, and it blows you dry!  Haven't ever tried it but...
