July 8: Rats, Rods, and Street Machines
This theme is for anyone that loves to go fast. This month people are encouraged to show off their "souped up" Hot Rods that have been modified for maximum speed. A Rat Rod is very similar, but appears to be unfinished on the outside. Street Machines simply take the entire process up another notch. If you can pull yourself away from the cool cars lined up along the strip, there will be plenty of exciting things happening all around to take part in.
August 12: Since '66 - 50 Years of Cruising The Strip
The 1960's were an intriguing decade, filled with many memorable events. It was during this era that Lake Ozark became a fourth-class city. This month will celebrate 50 years of being able to cruise up and down the historic Bagnell Dam Strip. There will be all of your favorite 1960's music blasting over the speakers near Luby's stage, as well as some nostalgic entertainment to enjoy. As an extra-special bonus, many of the businesses along the strip will be offering 1960's prices on items throughout the weekend.
