YAH Purpose

The Young at Heart Ministry is for Senior Adults (those past retirement age) in the Dayton, Ohio area. We provide times of fellowship and entertainment during our monthly Luncheons. We also provide the opportunity to see interesting places and things around the area during our monthly Day Trips. Once a year (sometimes more frequently) we offer a longer trip to see areas far from Dayton. All of our programs are designed to be honoring to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Branson Trip - Day 2

Monday September 21, we departed from St. Louis for Branson after a nice breakfast in our hotel. We were on our way promptly at 9AM. We made a stop along the way for candy and cheese (just to take up a little more time). We were running well ahead of time and would arrive in Branson too early to check into our hotel. We also stopped for lunch where we had a choice of fast food or a nice little cafe.

We arrived in Branson at the Stone Castle Hotel at exactly 3:15 PM as scheduled. Our tour company (Diamond Tours) had their person available on site to assist with check-in. We freshened up for dinner then went to the Fall Creek Steak and Catfish House for a very nice dinner. One of the things this restaurant is famous for is tossing rolls. You had better catch them or they got a bit dirty on the floor. Fortunately, those who didn't wish to play this game were gently handed their rolls!



After dinner we went to the Baldknobbers Theatre. In case you didn't know, Baldknobbers were vigilante groups who would meet on the top of a barren hill (bald knob). The Baldknobbers are celebrating their 50th year in Branson as the oldest entertainment. It is easy to see how they have survived so long. They are one of the most fun entertainment programs I have ever attended. The music was great and the comedy was outstanding.
