Talent show and fundraiser set for August

Branson's Got Talent, a fundraising talent show held last year, was so successful that it is happening again.

The finalists will compete for the top three prizes in the Branson's Got Talent competition, while raising money for a very worthy cause.

These 12 talented performers will take the stage at Hamners' Variety Theater, 3090 Shepherd of the Hills Expressway, on Sunday, August 23.  Doors open at 2 p.m., and the show begins at 3 p.m.
