File No. 000-53853
 
Dear Mr./Ms. McWilliams:

This letter is in response to the Commission’s comment letter dated October 28, 2013 regarding the Company’s Preliminary Proxy Statement.  We have also updated the financial statements for BBHC through the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2013.  The Company’s responses to the Commission’s comments are set forth below.  Concurrent with the filing of this letter, we are sending a courtesy hard copy via federal express to the attention of Mr. John Stickel.

Business Units, page 17

Comment No. 1.
We note your response to our prior comment 24 and reissue in part.  Please revise to remove your reference to the location of BBSK as “premium” or provide additional support for such classification.  We note, for example, that this is a new commercial development and that the number of visitors that are estimated may likely vary significantly.  Please also remove your reference BassPro Shops throughout.

Response:              Complied.  These references have been deleted.

Past Contacts, Strategic Alternatives, Transactions and Negotiations, page 18

Comment No. 2.
We note your response to our prior comment 2.  When discussing interests of certain persons in matters to be acted upon regarding the proposed acquisition, please revise such that the disclosure does not repeat the biographical information that is already contained in the Management section on page 4, but instead focuses on the disclosure required by Item 5 of Schedule 14A, or tell us why you believe such repetition is necessary.

Response:              Complied.  This section has been revised to focus only on substantial interests, direct or indirect, of each person who has been a director or executive officer since January 1, 2012.

Comment No. 4.
Please provide support for and information about your contract with Goose Gossage to assist in marketing an anticipated mortgage backed security offering, and also clarify that there is no guarantee that you will be successful in raising the funds necessary to construct the BBSF restaurant.

Response:              Complied.  This section has been revised.

Comment No. 5.
Please provide an estimate on page 23 of the additional operating capital that you estimate will be required to support your business plan.

Comment No. 6.
We note your response to our prior comment 27 and reissue in part.  Please revise to remove the statement that the risks contained herein are “not exhaustive” as this contradicts your statement that you are included all known material risks.
