Last year we visited Big Red's Ranch for the first time. It was a real treat and something very different so we were glad we went. The place is a bit hard to find even though they light their driveway well. The problem is you can't see it until you pass it so I hope they get that fixed for next year. We missed the drive again this year and had to turn around again.
Big Red's Ranch is a place for kids to thrive. They do their best to strengthen families and fight for the fatherless through camps, events, and resources. This ranch is one of their places but they also have a 300 acre camp in Mission, Texas called Brand Christian Youth Camp. The camp has 60 beds, two kitchens, a pavilion, various activities, and a seven acre lake. Their activities include canoeing, archery, swimming in the lake, gaga ball, human foosball, bazooka ball, paintball with some groups, water slide, tether ball, water games, field games, and more. At the camp they host Daycamps, overnight camps, group campouts, missions trips, church retreats, Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops, school field trips, and other community events. For many kids and even adults it's their first experience in a canoe, shooting a bow, or catching a fish.
This Christmas Show is just one of the ways they raise money for their mission.
The music and the screens are coordinated and so the show is a lot of fun. We wish it would last longer than it does but it is something that we've never seen before and is very enjoyable.
When we ordered our tickets, we were also able to order some kettle corn to enjoy during the show and it was good!
After the show, there is a nice drive with lights and scenes along the way. You even get to drive through some snow which we don't see in this part of Texas! Of course, that is why we stay here because we don't really enjoy the freezing cold and shoveling the snow!!
At the end you drive through this tunnel and you are back on the road.
