BransonWebcast Episode #16
Guest: Jim Thomas
A true pioneer in shaping the future of the Ozarks, Jim Thomas is credited with igniting Branson as a national entertainment destination. He brought legendary entertainers such as Roy Clark, Jim Stafford, and Glen Campbell here for the first time, and later encouraged many of them to build their own theaters, prompting major national recognition for the area.
He was also instrumental in developing Branson as a year round destination by being the first to extend his theater’s performance season. He encouraged the growth of the first convention and group tour business to Branson by upgrading his Lodge of the Ozarks complex to provide visitors with a first-class entertainment, lodging, dining and meeting experience.
