Out & About: Auxarc Botanicals Farm Tour & Lunch

We are excited to visit a beautiful Harrison-area farm owned by Karen Fancher, a medical nurse for 48 years. Founded in 2019, Auxarc Botanicals is the culmination of a 20-year dream to grow natural, healthful herbs and create a variety of wonderful products. Our excursion blissfully coincides with lavender season, allowing us to fully appreciate this celebrated Mediterranean native perennial historically used for herbal and alternative medicines. Enjoy the surrounding outdoor beauty as Karen shares her passion for botanicals and offers a look at a special 1920’s barn that has undergone loving restoration.

Branson Excursion:

Queen Esther at Sight and Sound Theatre

A favorite Branson destination over the years for Butterfield residents is the Sight and Sound Theatre and its professional theatre group that never disappoints. The BTV bus will travel to this summer’s hit production Queen Esther. Set in the opulent yet perilous Persian Empire, Queen Esther is a captivating tale of beauty and bravery as an ordinary woman’s life changes forever upon entering a new world of royalty and risk. With a crown on her head and a secret in her heart, Esther endeavors to find the courage to trust in God’s plan. Experience one of the most riveting Old Testament stories as great actors, magnificent sets, special effects and live animals bring this original stage production to life.
