Harold Bell Wright, the first American author to sell over one-million copies of a book, is largely responsible for bringing Branson and the Ozarks to the national spotlight with the publication of his best-selling book The Shepherd of the Hills. Those hills have changed dramatically since Mr. Wright visited them, but his legacy remains prominent. That legacy will be honored this year with the Harold Bell Wright Festival and Parade on May 22-23.
This event will be located on Downing Street in Hollister and will feature a range of artisans, live music, and contests. The parade will begin on May 23 at 11:00 AM and will feature the Sons of the Pioneers. This is a great way to have some free fun while celebrating a key figure in the history of the Ozarks.
Thanks for reading!
