Look….up in the sky…it's a bird…no it's a plane….no it's a…a…DUCK?? Yes that's right; don't miss the chance to experience history in the making as up to 7,500 rubber duckies race to the finish in the 2nd Annual Great Bagnell Dam Duck Drop! The Ozark Coast Kiwanis, Lake Area Chamber and the Bagnell Dam Strip Association are once again thrilled to bring this exciting and fun-filled family day back to the Bagnell Dam River Park in 2010.
All the action begins at 8am with the 5K Run & Waddle Walk, which will begin at the Bagnell Dam River Park routing through Lake Ozark and back. The Family Fun Zone will go from 10am – 3pm and will have everything from clowns, face painting, kids games, and live entertainment to bouncy houses and a variety of scrumptious food.
Then all eyes turn to the Osage River with anticipation as thousands of people watch the ducks race down through the water. The official drop will take place at noon and the winners will be announced at 2pm. This is a 'must do' event at the Lake of the Ozarks so don't miss out. "This event is special as it brings families together to have fun and celebrate life at the Lake, all while raising money that stays local, benefitting multiple organizations," shares Jeff Carroll, President of the Bagnell Dam Strip Association and Lake Area Chamber Board Member. "Watching all those ducks racing down the Osage River is a site to see like no other, so get out there, purchase your duck ticket and then come down and take part in the festivities!" Carroll adds.
To purchase your duck tickets visit one of the following ticket outlet locations: Paul's Supermarket or Central Bank Lake of the Ozarks – Lake Ozark and Osage Beach locations only; Bank Star One – Hy-Vee or HH locations; and Willmore Lodge Visitor Center.
This is truly a community event and would not be possible without the support of numerous businesses and individuals in the Lake Area who have donated their time, talents and dollars to make the 2nd Annual Great Bagnell Dam Duck Drop a success in 2010.
