Dear willardmo-ga;
Since you didn’t mention how many you wanted, I researched many of the
ones that I have visited myself, and some in the relative geographical
area that I had not, but would like to.
As Pinkfreud mentioned, and I highly recommend, there are a number of
family shows south of Branson, Missouri in the town of Eureka Springs,
Arkansas. This is a quaint little town full of homespun sights and
sounds. There is also Mountain Home, Arkansas which is home of the
“Ozark Mountain Jamboree”, and Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas
where you can see both the “Bath House Show” and “The Music Mountain
Jamboree”.
I am providing you with more links than you probably care to look at.
You should probably take some time to browse through them and see
which ones best fit the kind of entertainment you are looking for. I
hope you have a great time and I wish I could go with you.
I hope you find this research helpful. I look forward to working with
you again in the near future.
Best regards;
Tutuzdad-ga

Dear willardmo-ga;
I took the liberty of just finding great places all over. You sound
like a bit of traveler so you’ll probably get around to these places
eventually anyway.
Ok, so I got a bit carried away. But my family and I just love these
things, don’t you? Check out these links. If you want more, follow my
search strategy listed above. Use the same words and word combinations
that I used. You’ll find more shows than you could see in a lifetime!
Some of these links contain other links to many, many additional
venues all over the US and Canada.
I hope you have a great time.
Best regards:
