And when we bought our $45 ticket to sit on the 6th row for the "All Stars" show we also had paid for entrance into the Patch collection of 1957 automobiles which are in the same building as the show.
Glenn E. Patch owns the building and the show and the cars. In fact he owns it all. Mr. Patch is the real estate developer developing Branson Creek. He operates in connection with a company called G.E.P. Well guess what that stands for. Yes, you are correct, it stands for Glenn E. Patch.
Mr. Patch is an entrepreneur who made money in the publishing industry doing magazines like "Shutterbug" and "Computer Shopper."
You can learn more about the Patch Collection by going to this link: http://tickets.dickclarksbranson.com/eventcategory.asp?c=6
For a short and friendly bio of Mr. Patch you can go here: http://www.bransoncreekdevelopment.com/about/about_gep.html
Mr. Patch is evidently an interesting guy. His Gold Wing was parked downstairs with the cars. Well, what can a guy named HarleyDad say about that. However, we old guys on bike respect other old guys on bikes even if it is a Honda.
Rumor has it that Mr. Patch is locating to Branson Creek as his primary residence.
They say that Mr. Patch has $10 million in cars in the Collection and another $6 million in cars tucked away elsewhere. The building is said to cost $30 million. I don't know if it is true or not.
At any rate if you want to see the finest collection of 1957 vehicles, go see the Patch collection. Pictures will be posted shortly.
