07/03/07
Representatives from the State of Missouri,
Taney County and the City of Branson surprised four generations of the
Presley family during a special 40th season celebration on Saturday, June
30, 2007 with a proclamation reading ceremony to honor Presleys’ Country
Jubilee for its outstanding contribution to Branson’s live entertainment
industry.
During intermission of Presleys’ 40th anniversary performance, State Rep.
Dennis Wood read a proclamation signed by Governor Matt Blunt and
resolutions from the Missouri Senate and House of Representatives praising
the Presleys for bringing live music and comedy to millions of Branson
visitors over the past 40 years, and for their commitment to active
community service. Branson Mayor ProTem Stan Barker read a proclamation
naming June 30, 2007 Presley Family Day, and Taney County Commissioner Ron
Herschend presented 82-year-old Lloyd Presley with a proclamation which
designates the last Saturday of June each year as Country Music Day in honor
of the Presleys.
“We are deeply honored and proud to be a member of this community,” said
Gary Presley, co-producer and one of the original founders of Presleys’
Country Jubilee. “We are very fortunate to get to do what we love and for
the generations of fans who have supported us over the years.”
Ross Summers, president and CEO of the Branson Lakes/Area Chamber of
Commerce & CVB, led the surprise presentations during the show Saturday
night and thanked the Presleys for building the first theater on Branson’s
now famous Strip. Before the show, Ozark Mountain Bank representatives
presented the Presleys with a gold and ruby encrusted, hand-carved wooden
bass fiddle during an outdoor barbecue hosted by the Presley family.
National ABC news legend Paul Harvey recognized the Presleys’ 40th
Anniversary during his Friday, June 29, 2007 radio news broadcast and has
featured the family twice in previous “The Rest of the Story” broadcasts.
Presleys’ remains one of the top-rated shows in Branson and continues to
receive numerous awards and accolades from fans and the media each year. In
2006, Springfield News-Leader readers named Presleys’ the “Best Music Show
in Branson”. This year, guests are being treated to a season-long 40th
birthday celebration packed with country favorites, today’s country hits,
southern gospel music and hilarious comedy.
