We took off this morning about 10:30 with Jack and Barbara Miller and Dewayne and Vicki Jackson. We were headed for the Mountain Man Nut and Fruit Company but when we got there they were closed. The sign said for inventory and licensing and that it was temporary but they didn’t have a date when they would be open again. This is one of the best places in Branson to shop for coffee and candy so I hope it is temporary.
Since we couldn’t go there we headed for the Craft Mall which is next door. The girls had a really good time. I looked at all the wood carvings. Found one booth that really caught my attention. It had some really good deep relief carvings.
I think this one was $3500. After the Craft Mall we went down the street about a block to the Amish Store. Lots of good stuff there too.
By this time it was time to eat so we headed to the College of the Ozarks for lunch. We were suppose to have a 40 minute wait which turned into close to an hour. It was worth the wait. The College of the Ozarks is a college where students can get an education by working at the college. They raise flowers, milk cows, bake fruit cakes, and make jelly to mention a few. They also work at the restaurant where we ate, cooking and serving. They even have a water mill where they grind grains into flour, cornmeal, and other products like pancake mix. the mill was built in 1972 but looks like it could have been built a hundred years earlier.
I took a picture of everyone (except me) at the back of the mill.
Here are some pictures of some of the flowers at the college.
We went by the Tractor Museum which mostly has John Deer’s with a few other brands. They also had a Jeep that I have never seen before. They didn’t have any information on it so I don’t know what year it was made or what it was used for.
