We are getting ready for "Muscle car Madness", out theme for Friday's event. Looks like good weather will be with us. If you have not been to the Historic Bagnell Dam Strip in over a year there are many changes. The strip has been paved; thanks to BDSA there are 14 new trash cans on the strip, 10 new planters being maintained by merchants on the strip and plants in the planters provided by our PLATINUM SPONSOR, Doctor's Lawn and Landscape. The city of Lake Ozark has put banners on light posts on the strip and are doing road improvements at the top of the strip. Many more changes to follow as the strip is a now a "must stop" when visiting the Lake of the Ozarks. See you Friday. So much of the improvements would not be possible without the help of our great sponsors and the city of Lake Ozarks. FOLKS, YOU ROCK!
