One of America's most popular musical families, the Osmonds, will highlight an "Around the World" celebration of the new millennium in Branson, Missouri. Singers Maggie LaMee and Bill Brooks will join the Osmonds as hosts of the 24-hour celebration at the Grand Palace.

The "Around the World" celebration is part of the "Grand Millennium Celebration" from Dec. 30, 1999, to Jan. 2, 2000, in Branson. The "countdown" begins at 8 a.m. Dec. 31 in Branson, when guests celebrate the new century reaching each time zone around the globe.

"We plan to salute the countries in each time zone around the globe as they enter the millennium with live and taped greetings from our entertainers whose heritage represents that part of the world", says Michel in a press release.

The Osmond Family, featuring Jimmy, Wayne, Merrill and Jay, are special guests from 9 p.m. to midnight and will feature 100 years of music for this performance. The millennium performance caps off the Osmond Family's 40th year in the entertainment industry.
