Eagles Days Postponed Until March 2021

By Leave a Comment

Ameren Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks Eagle Days is being postponed.

The Eagle Days Committee says the event will now be held Saturday, March 6 at the Regalia Hotel and Conference Center and the Osage National Golf Resort.

The event will be one day only and will feature several species of eagles and owls.

Eagle Days started in 1999 with around 650 people showing up.

Last year more than 37-hundred came to the event.

 

(Lake Ozark, MO) January is right around the corner, which would normally mean that Ameren Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks Eagle Days was too.  Well like many other things that were supposed to happen over the last year, the upcoming Eagle Days event will be different this time around too.

With community safety first and foremost in mind, the Eagle Days Committee has decided to postpone the event until later in the spring in hopes that we can host it safely and have more options weather permitting.  “After much discussion about the current situation we are in and where it looks like things are going, we came to the conclusion that it didn’t make much sense to have a great free community event when it really wasn’t necessarily good for the community to have it,” Michelle Cook, committee member shared.  “We hope things will have calmed down a bit more later in the spring so we can continue with this annual event many of us look forward to year after year.  It will look at little bit different this year, but we hope to return to the traditional event in the future.”

Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 6th, 2021 for a day of free fun and learning more about creatures that live in your own back yard.  This year will be a 1-day event featuring the live bird programs at Osage National Golf Resort and Regalia Hotel & Conference Center.

World Bird Sanctuary will return to Osage National with the Live Eagle Programs, which will feature 4 different species of eagles including a bald eagle.  Programs will begin on the hour starting at 9am.

Dickerson Park Zoo will be at Regalia Hotel & Conference Center featuring two different live bird programs.  One will feature the Bald Eagle and the other is all about Owls of Missouri including the four native owls to Missouri.  Programs will begin on the half hour starting at 9:30am.

“We are hopeful by moving to later in the spring we will be able to at least have the live bird programs which are the event’s biggest draw,” Joann Billington, committee member and Master Naturalist stated.  “Weather depending, we may not have as many migrating eagles that time of year, but hopefully our local resident eagles will be active around the Osage River as they are many times throughout the year.”

The committee is still trying to determine how to incorporate other aspects of the event safely and will be making announcements after the first of the year.  Visit www.lakeoftheozarkseagledays.com for updated information or follow us on Facebook for updates.  We sincerely appreciate the community’s continued support for Ameren Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks Eagle Days and hope to see you on March 6, 2021.

This year’s parade is called, ‘We Need A Little Christmas’ and it’s scheduled for December 12th.

There are no fees required for entry.

 

 

From Press Release:

For Immediate Release

11/6/2020

A huge sigh of relief could be heard around the lake as the Bagnell Dam Strip Association announced that there will, indeed, be a Christmas Parade in Lake Ozark.

The parade will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 12, with lineup on Rt. 242 and then down Bagnell Dam Blvd.

With an abundance of caution in mind, this year’s parade will feature a few changes.

The theme, “We Need A Little Christmas,” guides the BDSA’s plans which include:

  • All entries are welcome. The only requirement is a phone call, e-mail or other notice of participation. Rickie Smith will take reservations at 573-434-3552
  • Fees and forms are not required for 2020.
  • Important Note: No throwing of candy, trinkets or anything from the parade entries is the official policy of BDSA parades. These items can be distributed with walkers. Safety is the reason for the change in policy.
  • There will be no separate categories, but there will be first, second and third place overall winners who will receive cash prizes of $200, $100 and $50 for their best representation of the theme.
  • Entry lineup will begin at 11:30 on a line-up-as-you-show-up basis, with the exception of a few spots saved for bands and horses (if those entries will be participating).
  • Santa will make his appearance exclusively in the parade and elves will distribute gift bags along the route in lieu of a personal visit by Santa after the parade as in past years.
  • Children will be encouraged to write letters which will be collected by the elves along the route for Santa to read before Christmas.
  • The parade will have live updates on 93.5 ROCKS
  • The Marine Corps League Honor Guard will lead the parade.
  • The Grand Marshal will not be a person, but will emphasize the spirit of gratitude for essential workers. This concept is still evolving, and creative ideas are welcome.
  • While parade organizers are awaiting word on the horses and the band, parade participants are asked to follow the theme, and that music and action are what make a parade. An entry can be as simple as a family, neighborhood or church group riding or walking and provide music or action to liven the crowd.
  • The BDSA strongly suggests following CDC guidelines including masks, sanitizing and distancing.

Sponsorships are available. These sponsorships fund the parade and with them each organization will be featured in an ad campaign built around the parade.

And remember: No Santa suits, but hats are okay. Only one Santa appears in this parade, and he and his entourage will be the finale of the parade.

For more details, contact Mike Page 573-280-4589, email pagestoresllc@sbcglobal.net; or Loretta Srch, 573-793-6914, lorettasrch@windstream.net.

Comments, suggestions, volunteers and sponsors are welcome.

The next BDSA meeting is 1 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17, at Willmore Lodge.

By Leave a Comment

The 35th annual Fall Harbor hop is the latest event to be canceled due to COVID 19 concerns.

Officials with the CVB say the decision to cancel the October event was made in an effort to keep the community, visitors and everyone safe and healthy.

A major part of the decision was the large number of people involved in the event, which included over 100 people across the 50 lake area bars.

The Spring Harbor Hop is still on for May 2021.
