Branson, MO — On October 16 and 17, 2015, approximately 6,500 car collectors and enthusiasts will be gathering again for the Fall series of the 37th Annual Branson Auction at the Branson Convention Center. More than 250 cars of all vintages, makes and models are already drawing the attention of collectors and spectators in six surrounding states via Branson Auction’s social networks, many of whom publicly attribute the event’s quality and continuous success to its founders Jim and Kathy Cox.

The 2014 recipient of the prestigious Lee Iacocca Award for his “dedication to excellence in perpetuating an American automotive tradition” at Keeneland Concours d’Elegance, Jim Cox is world-renowned for his acute knowledge and expertise in the manufacturing, mechanics, performance, restoration, and valuation of autos dating back to their origin, including everything from American- and European-made to elite imports and celebrity rides. In fact, owners have proclaimed Cox’s ability to circle the wagons, so to speak, to get a car in shape for prime time at showcases when there was no other hope.

A well-respected spokesperson and authority on the most complex engine mechanics, Cox sponsors the Keeneland Concours d’Elegance in Lexington, Kentucky, and is a frequent presenter at various collector showcases, races and media productions on topics like “Inside the Engine of a Rolls Royce” and “Interview with a Hudson”. Cox sponsors and presents the annual Gatsby Award for his Alma Mater Kansas City Art Institute’s “Art of the Car” scholarship, for which he was also a previous recipient of the Alumni Award.

“I love doing this because I love the memories these cars hold and their history — not just the history of the cars but of the people that come with them,” says Jim Cox. “This auction is particularly special in terms of history because some of them come with unique documented memories. One is a 1959 Buick Electra 225 convertible that was featured in the movie These Old Broads where it was driven by Peter Graves, and carried Elizabeth Taylor, Debbie Reynolds, Shirley MacLaine and Joan Collins, and that autographed movie memorabilia comes with the car.”

With annual sales of $6.5 million to $7.5 million, The Branson Auction historically attracts 6,500-7,000 collectors, consignors, bidders and car enthusiasts to Southwest Missouri twice a year for auto auctions that are praised in many collector car circles coast-to-coast. More than 250 must-have sports, muscle, vintage, classic, custom and antique automobiles make their appearance and are bid on by enthusiasts, collectors, and gearheads from around the world.

The 37th Bi-Annual Branson Auction will be held at the Branson Convention Center in downtown Branson, MO, and consignments are now being accepted. Beginning at 12:00 noon on Friday October 16th and 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 17th, the event is open to the public at a price of $10 or $15 for a 2-day pass. Tickets are on sale at the venue at 10:00 am on Friday and 8:00 am on Saturday. The consignment list is available for preview at www.BransonAuction.com and is updated regularly between now and the October event along with historical auction results.

Car owners can consign up to the day of the sale or in advance by calling 800-335-3063, or by visiting www.BransonAuction.com and clicking the “Consign” tab. Friday consignors pay a $500 entry fee and zero commission with high bids paying 100% to the seller. Saturday consignors pay a $300-$500 entry fee and 8% commission with reserve or 6% with no reserve. All bidders pay a registration fee of $100 which is refunded with the purchase of a vehicle.

The announcement that a new attraction would be built at the junction of Fall Creek Road and Highway 76 a few weeks ago was devoid of any specific details about what it would be except to indicate that all would be revealed at a press conference on Oct. 6. Since then, speculation within the Branson community has run rampant, but at a press conference on the morning of Oct. 6, one of the best-maintained secrets in Branson history was revealed.
Ted Cunningham, the pastor of Woodland Hills Family Church, acting as a spokesperson for the project, revealed the big secret. Reading from a prepared statement it was announced that the name of the new attraction was “Fritz’s Adventure.”

“Fritz’s Adventure is a dynamic indoor family attraction that brings the excitement and challenges of outdoor adventure into a multi-dimensional indoor environment. It’s three stories high and has 80,000 square feet of hands-on climbing, tunneling, sliding, swinging, and zip-lining thrills, featuring daunting utility poles to climb, bridges suspended stories above, towering rock climbing walls and giant boulders, an impressive parkour area, a massive ropes course, urban brick buildings for scaling, a life-size water tower with multiple slides, tunnels and tubes to burrow in, and an air-worthy airplane to explore. Fritz’s Adventure delivers the sense of adventure with a perceived element of risk, while in a strategically engineered and safe environment. It is a place where you can experience elements of the world around you, that anywhere else would be prohibited or discouraged. Parents, teenagers, grandparents, toddlers, and kids alike are encouraged to explore and adventure together.

“Additionally, Fritz’s Adventure features a restaurant with healthy menu choices overlooking the indoor adventure park from the second floor and party rooms for groups or special occasions. Fritz’s Adventure opens its doors to the exciting challenges normally reserved for seasoned adventurers, adapted for every age and ability level…”
It is anticipated that the new non-weather-dependent attraction will open in the summer of 2016 and will be open 365 days a year. “What an exciting and unique attraction for Branson visitors to enjoy,” said Annette Wood, the Director of Sales and Marketing for the Branson Tourism Center. “It is yet another wonderful adventure that families can share together in Branson,” she added.

The Branson Public Works Department will be conducting its annual Spring Cleanup beginning Monday, November 2nd through Thursday, November 5th, to help residents properly dispose of large unwanted items at no cost. This is a semi-annual event which is part of an ongoing effort to keep Branson beautiful.

The cleanup service is available for individual residents of Branson, but not for businesses or commercial entities. This provides residents within the City Limits the opportunity to get rid of large unwanted and difficult to manage items like old appliances, furniture and mattresses which are not typically picked up by residential trash haulers.
The pick-up date for Ward 1 is on Monday, November 2nd, Ward II is on Tuesday, November 3rd, and Ward III is on Wednesday, November 4th. Brush and limbs will be picked up in all three wards on Thursday, November 5th.

If a resident is unsure of their ward residence, they should refer to where they voted in the most recent election. If persons voted at the Community Center on Compton Drive, they are in Ward I. If they voted at the Presbyterian Church in Downtown, they are in Ward II; and if they voted at the Methodist Church on Highway 76, they are in Ward III.

A map of the city’s three wards is available online at www.bransonmo.gov.

All items, including brush must be at the curb by 8 a.m. on the day of pick-up. Crews will not backtrack. Items not placed out for pickup by the deadline will NOT be picked up and will not be eligible for participation in this city service. Property owners who miss the deadline must make separate arrangements on their own to have the materials picked up.

Limbs and brush do not need to be bundled, but must be cut and stacked at the curb in manageable 4-6′ piles. No more than one dump truck load of limbs and brush will be hauled from any one residence.

City crews WILL NOT collect tires, batteries, televisions, computer monitors, bagged leaves or household hazardous waste products. City crews will not pick up garbage normally collected by private refuse haulers. Here is where those items can be disposed:

  • TIRES: Taney County Transfer Station Call 336-6589
  • HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS: Accepted year round at Branson Recycle Center, located at 601 Compton Drive, in Branson. The center is open Monday thru Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

The Staples store on Highway 248 in Branson will also accept household electronics of all kinds. Also, Computer Recycling of Springfield accepts TVs and computers for a small fee. Call 417-866-2588. Call or check web sites for hours and what items they will accept.
