The Turkey Festival takes place every fall. The day will begin with the Turkey Trot & Gobble Wobble 5K race. You can enter through the Eldon Chamber of Commerce, and the race will start promptly at 7:30 am in front of the Eldon Pool at the Air Park. You are strongly encouraged to pre-register, but late registrations will be accepted during sign-in from 6:45 - 7:15 am that morning.
The street downtown is blocked off and filled with booth after booth of all kinds of fun items. Booths are open from 9 am - 5 pm, and this year's parade, which is themed "Shake Your Tail Feathers," will begin at 10 am. Entertainment will be taking place on 3 different stages all day long. This year there will also be a turkey calling contest hosted by J.T. Gerlt from KS95 Radio, and turkey bowling is back.
Another highlight of the Turkey Festival every year is the delicious food. Vendors will be set up downtown serving many different favorites, like BBQ, funnel cakes, kettle corn, fried pickles, and lots more. We can't possibly forget about those giant turkey legs too. Get yours early, because they usually sell out every year.
Our Lake of the Ozarks gift shop will be open from 9 am - 4 pm on Saturday. Swing by on your way to this year's Turkey Festival. You can try our "Sample Saturday" food tasting, take a look at the amazing fall home decor items we have in store right now, and even grab a cup of coffee to go if the weather turns out a bit chilly for the parade.
There are lots of fall festivals in the mid-Missouri area this time of year. Take advantage of this beautiful and scenic area that we live in and make the time to enjoy a few of them. Good & Perfect Gifts in Eldon will be here for you when you get back with lots of brand new things for you to check out.
