When you combine the colors red and yellow you get the color orange. When you combine the colors red and purple you get…friendship.

It is always an event that fills two buses when Creekside goes to a local winery for a “tasting” event. The third week of February was no exception.

It was decided […]

“Christmas on the Trail Chuck Wagon Dinner Show” is one of Branson’s most unique holiday shows and the many of the Creekside Community members experienced it firsthand!

A “good ole ’family fish fry” brought back fond memories for the community members at Creekside! Many stories were told of gatherings from long ago by a river bank.
