Santa is Coming to Lake of the Ozarks! Are you?

December 6, 2012 – 4:23 pm

Since Santa and his elves are planning a getaway to Osage Beach this weekend, we hope you are too!  Our Lake Christmas Parade is this Saturday, December 8th, beginning at 1PM. The floats and bands will line up along Highway 242 and proceed down Bagnell Dam Boulevard (AKA The Strip) towards Bagnell Dam.  Mrs. Claus is coming with Santa because she’s heard those stories about Party Cove and tiny swimsuits on tiny, curvy bodies! This certainly is not the time to distract Santa from his chores! Wait till you see Santa’s ride! Sure enuf, it’s unique to our part of the world. Can you guess what’s under that red sleigh?

Deck the Docks Christmas Cruise on board the Celebration will take place each Friday and Saturday evening at 5:30 between now and Christmas. At the Lake, we view Christmas lights from the water – of course! Reservations are suggested because this is such a fun time and if it’s winter temp time they’ll need to know how much ‘hot chocolate’ to have on board for your sipping pleasure. Call 573-40-3212 and one of Santa’s helpers will fix you right up!  (Stay with us and Santa Sue will do the legwork for you!)

Have you heard the rumor that we have an Outlet Mall here – with 110 stores?!? Santa Sue offers a special money $aving coupon clip for B & B guests and a map to our local gift shops and boutiques. Enjoy dinner at one of our fine dinning restaurants, a dip in your private hot tub at the Inn, and a cuddle with your favorite elf in front of a flickering fireplace.  Surely, you’ll fall asleep ~ relaxed with thoughts of sugar plums and a finished shopping list dancing in your head!

So. . .when planning your next Lake of the Ozarks getaway, we suggest you innclude time to enjoy our many special holiday activities and a romantic sleepover at the Inn at Harbour Ridge, the Lake’s Most Inviting Bed and Breakfast.  The Inn is located just outside of the heart of Osage Beach, city close and country quiet, where there’s always a memory waiting to be made!

Happy Hearts! Happy Holidays!

In-Water Boat Show at Lake of the Ozarks

August 28, 2012 – 2:20 pm

 

Lake of the Ozarks Marine Dealers will host their fall In-Water Boat Show September 14th thru the 16th, 2012. Location will be at our friends place, Captain Ron’s Bar and Grill, home of the Shootout. Captain Ron’s in located at the 34.5 mile marker in Sunrise Beach, Mo.

By land the Inn at Harbour Ridge is just a  20 minute drive. So come stay with us and then take in the boat show over on Hwy 5. Meditate on your new boat purchase while soaking in one of our private starlit hot tubs (OK- I’ll have a little cruiser for you to play with!) or paddling around Woodlawn Cove in our paddleboat!

Since this is the Association’s fall show, it’s deemed as the end of the season show. (Ladies, I think that’s the same as a ‘Clearance Sale Sign!’) Bass boats, party deck boats, ‘go fast’ boats, cruisers – there will be something for everyone. The fifty marine dealers in the Association  also represent marine accessories, docks, and personal watercraft. They can show you how to have fun on the water in our Boater’s Paradise at Lake of the Ozarks! Want to float your own boat? Call the Lake home?  This is an event you’ll want to make plans to attend!

No worries, Matey! Fall  is the best time of the year to enjoy the Lake of the Ozarks!

Show times are from 1PM to 7PM on Friday, the 14th, 10AM to 7PM on Saturday, the 15th, and 10AM to 4PM of Sunday, the 15th. For more information visit the Lake of the Ozarks Marine Dealers website.

When planning your next Lake of the Ozarks getaway, we suggest you allow yourselves time to relax and enjoy the Lake’s special activities and a stay at the Lake’s most inviting Bed and Breakfast, the Inn at Harbour Ridge.  See ya soon!

Water Rodeo at Lake of the Ozarks Missouri

August 8, 2012 – 3:09 am

Leave your horse at home and hook up your wave runners! Coconuts Caribbean Beach Bar and Grill along with Premier Vacations at Lake of the Ozarks will present the first ever Wave Runner Rodeo at Lake of the Ozarks this Saturday, August 11th, 2012. By water the action will be at the 7 mile marker of the Gravois Arm. Landlubbers can drive into Coconuts at 15208 Red Hollow Road, Gravois Mills 65037.

If you’ve seen barrel racing at a rodeo you’ve got a good idea how things will work on water! Two racers at a time on a slalom course with left and right turns (buoys instead of barrels) since the action is on the water! So bring your machine and let’s see who has the fastest wave runner on the Lake of the Ozarks! Or just come for the weekend and rent a wave runner once you’re here! Don’t miss the opportunity to say you rodeoed ON the Lake! Contestants will need lots of fans to cheer them on. What a great way to celebrate the end of summer and benefit the Wounded Warrior project!

Our award winning bed and breakfast , the Inn at Harbour Ridge, is close by in Osage Beach and has rooms available this weekend – with lots of clear blue water in our hot tubs and twosome tubbies. There’s a lake at the bottom of our ridge and a private gated pool nearby. Come see us for summer fun at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Deck the Docks ~ Christmas Lights

January 19, 2012 – 8:24 pm

As you think about special things to do this Christmas season, we hope you’ll consider checking out the lights here at the Lake of the Ozarks!  Our Osage Beach community has put a new spin (or shall I say spark) on the usual Christmas Light Park idea. The Lake’s first annual dock lighting contest is now under way and  will benefit the Dogwood Animal Shelter.  Dogwood Animal Shelter is a local non profit, no-kill refuge for more than 200 furry four legged friends waiting for a loving home. Hats off to Dock Realty owner, Dave  Hotz, who is the spark behind this novel idea.You gotta know that he’s a dog lover!

Deck the Dock cruises will originate from the Celebration Cruise Ship’s Dock at the Grand Glaize Bridge on Hwy 54/Osage Beach Parkway each Friday evening at 7PM  from now until December 23rd. Captain Mike’s boat will cruise between the 13  and 21 mile markers while folks on board “oooh and ahhh” at the dock lights! The cruise is two hours long and costs $16 dollars per person, of which $4 will be donated to the shelter. Appetizers will be served and a cash bar will be available.

What a great office Christmas party idea or a new way to show off our beautiful lake to your out-of-town guests!

For tickets, visit www.cruiselake.com or call 573-480-3212
