I heard about this and I have to share. It just sounds like way too much fun not to go to Branson and check it out, so I’m thinking that maybe we’ll make this our Spring Break adventure. What am I talking about? Well, I’m talking about the Branson’s First Annual Great American Pie Show in Branson, Missouri.

The Great American Pie Contest is taking place at the Branson Convention Center which is adjacent to Hilton Branson Convention Center, April 24-25, 2009. This is a national pie recipe contest featuring none other than NBC’s favorite weatherman, Al Roker as its spokesperson. This is a serious pie competition with $2,500 being awarded to the 1st place winner plus a a trip for two for a 4-day/3-night vacation in Branson.

Of course, as I’ve said before, there are plenty of other fun activities to do in and around Branson, including the FLW Bass Fishing Tournament and the first ever Branson Air Show. The Branson area is surrounded by beautiful countryside include many lakes, parks and outdoor activities. There are several championship golf courses in the area, several museums and 40+ live entertainment theaters.

If you have Spring Break in April, this is a family destination that should seriously be considered. The Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel has reserved a block of rooms for April 20 – 29 and is offering a special room rate that will be available until March 22nd or until the group block is sold-out! With rates starting at only $109/night, what are you waiting for?
