It’s almost that time of year! The weather is warming up and it’s time to hit the lake. There are quite a few fishing tournaments in Branson this year and we want to make sure you don’t miss a single one! And what’s better than a weekend spent fishing and relaxing in your own private log cabin? Not much in in our opinion- other than spending it with family and/or friends.

Here are a few fishing tournaments you won’t want to miss this year!

• Big Bass Classic. This takes place March 24-25, 2018 on Table Rock Lake. The weigh in site is at Long Creek Marina. Register here! 
• Anglers in Action. Multiple dates (March 18, April 8 or May 5) on Table Rock Lake at Kimberling Resort & Marina. Register here!
• Solo Pro MoBassFishin’. Takes place April 15, 2018 on Table Rock Lake. Register here!
• Cops for Kids Tournament. A fun annual event which benefits Catch A Dream Foundation and Children’s Smile Center. Register here!
• National Fishing and Boating Week. June 2-9, 2018. Many states offer free fishing this week! There is no tournament, but it is a fun reason to get out on the lake!

Sometimes you just need a getaway. Don’t you agree? However, we understand that sometimes a getaway just isn’t a possibility. So we’ve come up with a few cabin inspired crafts to bring a piece of vacation into your home.

1.) We love this cabin inspired wreath. And you can simply change the flower to match the season or holiday! Update the wreath by adding a sunflower, fall leaves, poinsettias or any other festive decor.

2. Sometimes a frame just doesn’t do a photo justice. How precious is this photo and DIY frame? All you need is a piece of wood, some string, a floral decor (or just extra string to tie a big bow), and a photo! You could even use a photo you  took while on vacation with Amazing Branson Rentals!

3. Did your kids collect a ton of sticks outside? Great! Turn them into a piece of art! You can spell out a name, create your first or last name initial or make a plethora of other shapes. Your kids can even help!

We love Branson year round, but there is something special about Branson in the spring. New shows come to the strip, Silver Dollar City opens again, the lake starts becoming active again and flowers begin to bloom everywhere. What’s not to love? So with so many options, where do you start? Today we are sharing all of our top tips on what to do in Branson in the spring!

• Silver Dollar City. We love Silver Dollar City and not only are they opening again on March 14, but they also have some new rides you definitely want to try!
• See a show. There are so many incredible shows in Branson. Be sure to see at least one on your trip!
• Get outside. There are so many gorgeous hiking trails in the Branson area. Be sure to soak up some fresh air and enjoy the beauty of the area!
