COPPER RUN DISTILLERY Jim Blansit's family tree has deep roots in the Ozarks. He's not afraid to share some history that includes a taste of moonshine. This avocation led Blansit to open Copper Run Distillery in 2009 on his family's property. Ozark Mountain Moonshine is un-aged corn whiskey made using a traditional formula of 80% corn and 20% wheat sour mash in a pot still. His moonshine "offers earthy, green citrus flavors with a sweet corn finish including notes of caramel and malted grain." The distillery has a range of small batch products including a white rum from blackstrap molasses and a whiskey aged in locally-sourced, charred white oak barrels. All are available to sample in the tasting room, to discover which ones you want to take home, along with complimentary tours. BRANSON SHOWS We believe life should have more encores. Live shows (and encores, of course) have been a staple of Branson vacations for many generations. From rock and country music to hilarious comedy and amazing acrobats, Branson offers live entertainment varieties to suit every taste. Morning, afternoon, and night, Branson has live show options for every member of the family, including dinner shows, shows for kids and even shows on boats! ExploreBranson.com has a list of shows to create your personal schedule. BRANSONBULLETIN BRANSONBULLETIN BRANSON SCENIC RAILWAY Take a ride back in time on a vintage train. The Branson Scenic Railway covers 40 miles of beautiful Ozarks forest and glades into Northern Arkansas and back. All of the train cars were built in the 1930s through the 1950s and three of them are glass-domed, offering a panoramic view of the countryside. The train departs from the station in Historic Downtown Branson and is a unique memory for family reunions. 48 WHAT'S UP! JULY 19-25, 2020
