It all started three years ago when DD drove by the vacant building located on State Highway 7. It was for sale and the vision and inspiration began. A lot of hard work and money was invested to remodel and refurbish the facility before placing it on the map as “hometo the Truman Lake Opry.” When asked why settling near Tightwad, Mo. instead of Branson where country music fans swarm, DD answered, “I’ve already been there - done that.” After spending several years in the entertainment world, she decided less competition and a high-traffic area would be a more attractive draw to customers. Periodic Wild West Dinner Shows are planned for August. For only $20 per person ($10 ages under 10), The menu includes your choice of chicken or pork, mashed potatoes and gravy, cheesy noodles, green beans, dinner roll, dessert and drink. Then sit back, relax, and enjjoy the show! For more information, visit http://www.trumanlakeopry.com/
