Introducing their shows
BransonFest crowds usually come back after seeing samplings

MERRILL OSMOND, star of "Broadway", performs at 
BransonFest on Wednesday prior to Performances from
"Spirit of the Dance" and Tony Roi from the "Tony Roi's Elvis Experience."

"It's a chance for all of us entertainers to get together, to catch up and to
meet the new faces in town," Merrill Osmond said moments before appearing on
stage. "This is one of the few opportunities we have to do this each year
because we're all in shows every night".

Osmond said Branson Fest not only allowed Branson's entertainment
community to come together but the entire community.

"It's just wonderful," Osmond said in reference to BransonFest. "The whole
community comes out to support the town. "There's nothing else like it." 

Mark Bryson, producer at the Branson Variety Theater, said the theater
always sees a healthy group of BransonFest attendees coming to see
'Sprit of the Dance' and 'Broadway'.

"We definitely see a good response of people who come in and say, 'Hey, we
saw you out at BransonFest and wanted to come and see the rest of your
show,'" Bryson said.
