Several hundred people gathered at the Branson Ferris Wheel Wednesday for the Community Tailgate, one of the first events put on by the City of Branson and the Tourism Community Enhancement District in conjunction with the Branson-Lakes Area being named the Official Vacation Destination of the Kansas City Chiefs.

The event included live music and games as well as a special Chiefs Lighting Show on the Ferris Wheel. 

While more events are planned locally, the area will have a presence at several Chiefs home games the rest of the season. Rachel Wood of the Branson Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce during an interview during Legends 1063’s Live Radio Party, said a booth will be set-up in the vendor area that will have games and information about the Branson-Lakes Area. Wood says they will be at five of the remaining home games including this evening’s game against Denver.
