To compliment our spring and fall camping events, we will be initiating a Summer and Winter series of get-togethers to: socialize, share stories, hear from presenters with information relevant to our Ozarks region, and get updates and inputs on future outdoor events.
The first summer get together is planned for Thursday, July 18th in the Beer Garden at Wire Road Brewery at 8pm. There will be a special presentation by Todd Wilkinson covering the story of float trips here in the Ozarks going back to the early days of the famous guided float trips on the White and James rivers to the current state of floating with all of the resources and National Scenic Rivers available to us today. It is a wonderful outdoor, family & dog friendly setting for a get together and will be a great program. We look forward to seeing you there!
***NOTE: you might want to bring a folding chair as seating fills up fast during the summer months.***
