The 2012 Super Summer Cruise happens in early August, and features a number of popular events. The Midnight Cruise, made up of three miles of classic cars cruising through the Shepherd of the Hills Expressway and Highway 76, is one of the biggest features of the event. It happens right on the stroke of midnight on Saturday, and is a lot of fun.

Of course, that isn’t all there is to the Super Summer Cruise car show. There are daily events open, featuring Branson area entertainers, at the Shepherd of the Hills Pavilion Theatre. The Stars in Cars Event is another fun choice. Starting on Thursday, and occurring again on Friday and Saturday, the Vehicle Show and Shine draws in a lot of visitors. Saturday evening, the Best In Show Awards occur at the Pavilion Theatre, and afterward, drivers are briefed for the Midnight Cruise.

Those interested in registering their cars for the Super Summer Cruise can do so either by mail or online. Registering in advance on the Internet allows attendees to pay less then they would by mail or at the door. Multiple vehicles can be added to each registration when applying online, and only one payment is made – a new feature for this show.

Vehicles can be registered in a number of classes, including stock autos from 1900-1972 and 1973-2013, as well as street machines in various year categories, modified trucks and muscle cars. There is even a special category for Corvettes, as well as a special interest category for all those cars that do not quite fit in elsewhere.

Stock vehicles are those which have not been modified, including changes in drive train and engine not made for that car, increased horsepower, custom paint and decals, and any other modification which isn’t related to safety. Scores are accumulated in five categories: Exterior, Drive Train, Interior, Engine and Customization or Restoration. Points are available in each category, with a bonus category, for Safety, Hazard and Emergency supplies.

Awards will be given for Best in Show, with two runner ups, and individual classes will each receive first, second, and third places. The top twenty cars based on over all score will receive a top twenty plaque. Special awards plaques are also given for best use of color, most unusual paint job, best work in progress, rattiest rat, most radical engine, best accessories, longest drive and best club participation, with additional peoples choice and owners choice awards presented.

Anyone who loves cars should be present at this great event. The Branson, Missouri Super Summer Cruise 2012 is one competition and cruise you should not miss. For mor information, visit their site at: http://www.supersummercruise.com.

The Missouri Tax Free Weekend is arguably the best time during the entire year to purchase items such as clothing, computers, etc that are included in the allowed purchases. Many people purposely wait until the tax free weekend to make their purchases, which also leads to some busy stores and shopping malls in Branson and all across Missouri! Our best advise is to get there as early as possible when the tax free savings begin. Some stores will be open at midnight on the first night, so make sure you know what you want, who sales it, and when they will be open. Don’t be surprised if items are sold out or picked over as the weekend comes to a close.

2012 Tax Free Weekend Missouri allowed items

• Clothing – any article having a taxable value of $100 or less
• School supplies – not to exceed $50 per purchase
• Computer software – taxable value of $350 or less
• Personal computers – not to exceed $3,500
• Computer peripheral devices – not to exceed $3,500

You can find the full list of allowed items as well as any updated information at the official Missouri Department of Revenue website: http://dor.mo.gov/business/sales/taxholiday/school/

Most of all, be prepared and know in advance that shopping in Branson, MO will be busier than normal on the weekend of August 3-5, 2012 as the Missouri Tax Free Weekend 2012 takes place!
