Thank You to Our Veterans from Main Street Marina

Posted on November 8, 2018July 13, 2019 by msm_admin

On this Veteran’s Day… November 11th, our Sightseeing Cruise or Dinner Cruise is available free to all our veterans. We want to give back a little to those that have given so much to us.

There is a rich history surrounding Veterans Day and we’d like to take a minute to tell you about some of the highlights.

Veterans Day History

Veterans Day (originally known as Armistice Day) is an official United States public holiday, observed annually on November 11, that honors military veterans; that is, persons who served in the United States Armed Forces. It coincides with other holidays, including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I; major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.

On November 11, 1919, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson issued a message to his countrymen on the first Armistice Day, in which he expressed what he felt the day meant to Americans:

In 1945, World War II veteran Raymond Weeks from Birmingham, Alabama, had the idea to expand Armistice Day to celebrate all veterans, not just those who died in World War I. Weeks led a delegation to Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, who supported the idea of National Veterans Day. Weeks led the first national celebration in 1947 in Alabama and annually until his death in 1985. President Reagan honored Weeks at the White House with the Presidential Citizenship Medal in 1982 as the driving force for the national holiday. Elizabeth Dole, who prepared the briefing for President Reagan, determined Weeks as the “Father of Veterans Day.”

We Love Our Veterans

Branson has a time-honored tradition of celebrating our veterans and those of us at Main Street Marina definitely want to continue in that spirit. On November 11th we want to offer veterans an opportunity to get out on the lake and enjoy the beauty of the Ozarks on us. We offer a sightseeing and a dinner cruise through Main Street Lake Cruises that we would love to have you join us onboard. Please call our ticket office for reservations or for additional information. 417-239-3980. Thank you for your service! We appreciate the sacrifice you made for our country.

A Date With The Lake Queen – Main Street Lake Cruises

Posted on October 12, 2018July 13, 2019 by msm_admin

There is no better way to see the beauty of the Ozarks than aboard the Lake Queen on Lake Taneycomo. Experience first hand what it felt like to travel the White River Basin on a vintage paddleboat recreated by Main Street Lake Cruises on Main Street Marina! This 100-foot paddle boat is a replica of those boats that traveled up and down the banks before the dam systems were created to establish the existing lakes in the region. Right now the leaves are beginning to change and the colors come alive before your eyes on this fabulous sightseeing cruise.

A Day On the Queen

From the moment you walk onto the deck of the Queen, you will realize you are in for something special as you see the attention to detail you will find on this boat. The courteous and professional staff are ready to make sure you have everything you need for the cruise. There is always a delicious meal available for purchase as well as a full bar to make sure you have just the right cocktail in your hand for the trip along the water. Check out our seasonal drink menu! For the next couple of hours prepare to take in the amazing scenery while one of our Captains lets you in on all the stories and secrets that the area holds regarding Lake Taneycomo and the Ozarks area.

There is fun to be had for the whole family on one of our Lake Queen cruises. In addition to the breathtaking scenery, there is so much to learn about the area. The crew of the Lake Queen will make sure all of the kids have an amazing time as well. There is a rumor that pirates and other scallywags lurk along the waters and every kid will become responsible for making sure the boat stays safe by learning to activate and fire the powerful water cannons equipped aboard the Queen’s stern. Your kids will feel like celebrities on the Lake Queen; we are so happy to have them on board!.

There is a climate controlled cabin below and a beautiful sun deck above. There is always plenty of shade on those warm and sunny days! We want you to be comfortable aboard our cruises.
