The 2013 Lake of the Ozarks Spring Harbor Hop


We are getting closer to the Lake of the Ozarks Spring Harbor Hop - Dog Days Bar & Grill and Shorty Pants Lounge will once again be stops in the event that marks the beginning of the Boating Season at Lake of the Ozarks!!

Players donate $15 per seven card hand and the fun starts as they hop around the Lake to draw their hand at any of the 30+  participating restaurants and marinas around the Lake. 

Here is a list of the Prize Allocations from the Convention and Visitors Bureau website:
