Key Happening Dates at the “House” for 2009. March 15th thru April 30th hours Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - Closing Saturday and Sunday 7:00 a.m. - Closing Hillbilly Breakfast Buffet every weekend 7:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. It’s hard to believe that another year has started but the nice Spoonbill I saw weighed in off our docks yesterday was all the proof I needed to see that 2009 is officially here! We have two Spoonbill tournaments scheduled this year. The first and last Saturday in April we’ll host our two tournaments, that would be the 4th and the 25th of April respectively. Same as last year each tournament will start at 0700 from our docks and end promptly at 1500 hrs. Sharp! Also same as last year we require each boat to check in for wrist bands before they start fishing. We will allow signups right up until 0700 each morning. Fish can’t have rope marks on them and once checked a piece will be removed from their tail. This year we’ll pay out the top 6 fish for the first tournament and the top 3 fish for the second tournament. Memorial Day Weekend this year falls on the 23rd, 24th, & Monday the 25th of May, plan on joining us for some local live music. Shortly after Memorial Day weekend we have our first of two Biker Rally’s hosted by Doc & Patty. On June 13th they’ll hold their Annual Duck Race with prizes awarded to the best poker hand, and best looking and fastest duck. Live music and local barbecue are part of your admission fee. All proceeds go to the American Biker Relief Fund and a local hospice of their choosing in Kansas City. July 4th actually falls on a Saturday this weekend. Plan on stopping in for a cold beer on your way back from the Warsaw fireworks display. July 11th we will have our annual fireworks show by Dishonest Don's Fireworks (www.dishonestdonsfireworks.com). Don't miss the best fireworks show at the lake. You can also purchase fireworks online and pick them up at The Old Oar House Inn. Click here for Dishonest Don's Flyer. July 18th marks our “World Famous” Miss Raft Race Queen Bikini Contest. Contestants from all walks of life are welcome and the Queen will escort the raft race contestants as they battle for the trophy prize and bragging rights for the year as they race downstream 1 ½ miles. I’ve even seen some pretty sexy grandmas so drop your inhibitions and sign up any time before the contest. There is a $25 sponsor charge which is all donated to the American Cancer Society. The contest will start at 1:00 PM sharp so don’t be late! We still need three judges. See Bruce if you’re interested in being a judge and mention you read it on the internet. August 1st and 2nd is our Annual Lake Ozark Poker Run. All proceeds are also donated to a local hospice as well. Ernie and Linda Campbell’s Children’s Mercy Hospital Auction is scheduled for August 22nd. Donations accepted all summer and we’ll make sure Linda and Ernie get them. This is one of the best events we host all summer long. Talk about a worthy cause. Last year they raised over $8,000. Call us for the start time as I didn’t have it at ‘press’ time. Labor Day Weekend this year falls on September 5th, 6th, and 7th. The annual raft race and world famous water fight will begin at 1:00 PM sharp on Sunday the 6th. This water fight defies description. I’ve seen water cannons blow people off their jet skis before! You won’t want to miss the race. Raft race contestants can find raft construction instructions within the website. If you have trouble finding them shoot me an email and I’ll help you out. Download the Raft Race Rules below in the format that suits your needs.
Rounding out the year will be Doc and Patti’s “Run with the leaves” biker rally scheduled for October 17th. Always a good time guaranteed! All proceeds will benefit American Biker’s Relief Fund. No holds barred entertainment and a great local band will round out the evening.
If you have any questions on the above activities call Bernie for details, (660) 438-5398. Remember: A bad day fishing is better than a great day at work! |
