Family Fun For A Wonderful Cause - The Great Bagnell Dam Duck Drop

There are lots of family fun events that happen every year around the Lake area, and this weekend has one that also raises a lot of money for many local non-profit organizations and charities.  Just a very short distance away from our luxury waterfront condominiums at the Lake of the Ozarks, is the Great Bagnell Dam Duck Drop.  This event covers two days, with a golf tournament on Friday, July 31 and the Duck Drop and Family Fun Zone both on Saturday, August 1.

Golf Tournament

If you enjoy golfing, then this fun tournament is definitely one for you to take part in.  It takes place at the Cove golf course at the Lodge of Four Seasons. The tournament is a 4-person scramble with a shotgun start.  Participants will also get a chance to compete in a hole in one competition worth $25,000, a putting contest for $5,000, and many other course contests and special events.  Your $125 entry fee includes a goody bag, 10 Duck Drop tickets, breakfast before the tournament, and admission to the awards party at Savannah Grille afterwards.  You can register for the golf tournament online.  

Family Fun Zone

Dam Bait & Campground next to Bagnell Dam will be the site for the Family Fun Zone full of games and activities.  Wristbands are $5 per child. There will also be a dunking booth, bounce houses, martial arts and dance demonstrations, food, and lots of prizes and goodies!  This will be going on from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm Saturday.    

Duck Drop      

Everyone will head to the water a little before noon to watch all of the rubber ducks being dropped out of a helicopter and off of pontoon boats.  These numbered ducks will be racing to a finish line, and the owner of the first duck to cross will win $5,000.  The next 7 ducks across the line will also earn prizes. You can find out where to purchase your Duck Drop tickets at www.greatdamduckdrop.com, and they will also be sold at the Family Fun Zone until 11:00 am.  You do not have to be present to win.  Winners will be announced at the Fun Zone and on Mix 92.7.

This wonderful fundraising event is one of many great things to do near our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront condominiums.  All of the proceeds stay local, and many different worthwhile organizations benefit via the Ozark Coast Kiwanis.  We hope that everyone gets a chance to experience this very special event.

3 Common Misconceptions About Living On An Island

The best waterfront condominiums at the Lake of the Ozarks are set apart on a private island paradise.  You might not think that island-living is convenient, but we believe that it could be perfect for you!  At Isla Del Sol Condominiums, you get the luxury of setting yourself apart from the rest of the world, but not cutting yourself off completely.  Let us dispel some worries that you may have about living on our island.    



You can't get anywhere else easily.

That is definitely not the case at Isla Del Sol.  It is easy to travel from anywhere on the water from our wonderful docks, and there is plenty of parking for your boat or PWC.  Even though we are surrounded by the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks on every side, the recent addition of the causeway connects us to the mainland by road.  Now instead of waiting for a ferry to pick you up, you may come and go as you please by land as well as by water.  

There's nothing to do.

If you don't feel like heading out into the big, wide world, you can still find plenty to do right here on the island.  Staring at the breathtaking panoramic lake view is very relaxing, but if you want to have a little fun, there are wonderful amenities at Isla Del Sol to take advantage of.  Residents have access to a beautiful lake side pool with fountains, surrounded by lounge chairs & tables. There is a pool side sun deck for gatherings too.  The dog walking area lets you and your furry friend enjoy a little play time outside.  

It's lonely.

You'll feel like you are sequestered from the world on our island oasis, but it doesn't have to be that way when you choose to venture out.  You can enjoy the amenities of Isla Del Sol along with the other residents in our common areas.  Since it is easy to get away by car or boat, you are free to head out and about to enjoy the exciting Lake of the Ozarks.  You will find all types of entertainment, shopping, and fun in town, and even on the water you can travel to numerous waterfront bars and restaurants.  Plus, you will see happy boaters traveling by our beautiful island all Summer long, enjoying everything that this gorgeous lake has to offer. 

The ability to leave the craziness of the world behind, with easy access to it when you want a little company.  Living in our spacious luxury condominiums at the Lake of the Ozarks offers you the best of both worlds. Stop by soon and take a look at the gorgeous condo that could be all yours on our private island paradise.

Color Makes a Room Come Alive

You don't have to paint the walls of every room to add color to your home. Bold pops of color here and there, strategically placed around your condo, can really add some life to your space.  Here are some simple ideas for adding some color to the inside of your luxury condominium at the Lake of the Ozarks or anyplace else that you call home.    

Curtains

This is the easiest way to get color on a wall, besides hanging a picture.  A bright curtain framing a window with a gorgeous view (like the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks outside of Isla Del Sol Condominiums) makes your outside its own art.  If you ever get tired of the color or decide to redecorate, its as simple as taking them down and putting new ones in their place.

Accessories

This is a broad category.  You can toss throw pillows on your furniture, or a colorful lap blanket across the back of a couch.  Brightly colored books or bold candles are great accents for a coffee table.  A table lamp can have a colored base or lamp shade.  If you are a knick-knack collector, you've probably got some in your favorite colors that can be displayed around your home.

Flowers

Bright flowers and the beautiful green of most plants are great for adding color to a room.  The pots that you decide to plant them in are a wonderful place for pops of color too.  These have added bonuses in that most have a pleasant scent and all of them are great for the air quality inside your home.  

Painted furniture

This takes a little more work than tossing a pillow on a chair, but a lot less work than painting 4 walls in a room.  A bright red chair or a deep blue bed frame can add a burst of fun into a room.  All you need is a free day, some sandpaper, and your favorite color of paint.  

These very small additions to your decor can add big appeal.  All of these ideas can be easily moved to another room or switched out completely without a lot of hassle or any remodeling to your home.  Your color choices are endless, and any one of these ideas would look amazing in one of our waterfront condominiums at the Lake of the Ozarks.  Start thinking about your favorite colors and have fun decorating.
