    Gas Fireplaces

    I have a 42" wide one in my game room and it generates so much heat next to my piano I can't use it. In our new house we will have it again only the piano will be on the other side of the room.

    Branson, MO

    Anybody ever go there. Recommendations on where to stay, what to see, where to eat. How much cash should I expect if we go for 5 days. Was it worth it compared to other short vacations.

    State Shut Down - Do not enter after 9 PM :)
