“What compels me to Lake Ozark is its pedestrian nature. People cruise the Strip on foot or in vehicles and all that humanity moving together in the music, sights and sounds creates its own energy. Vacation vibes abound year round. Having spent many summer occasions on the Strip as a street artist from face painting to poetry to card reading, the writer in me finds treasures in people’s stories. The Bagnell Dam Strip is rich with stories both past and present making memories this season for somebody’s future. The Strip has always been a backdrop to life adventures unfolding, along the shoreline of the beautiful landscape that is Lake of the Ozarks.”
