Friends and fans of Jim Stafford gathered at the Song of Hope Museum Tuesday to honor the man who entertained Branson’s Audiences for over 30 years.

Branson Mayor Larry Milton had proclaimed the day in honor of the entertainer and presented the proclamation to Stafford during the ceremony which also featured comments from Museum Founder Marshall Howden and Museum Board Member Matt Bailey, who formerly worked at the Jim Stafford Theater as an intern and helped preserve the guitar marque that was on display during the ceremony.

Scott McCaulley and Branson Tri-Lakes News Reporter Jason Wert talked with Stafford after the ceremony. That interview plus audio from the ceremony can be heard below:
