The Great Bagnell Dam Duck Drop is not only a fun annual event at the Lake of the Ozarks for the entire family, but it also raises much-needed funds for many local charities and organizations. It's quite an amazing sight to see, and there are lots of activities to enjoy surrounding it. Good & Perfect Gifts has the details for you right here. 

The Activities
You can find exciting activities to enjoy on Friday and Saturday, August 4 & 5, 2017 for this year's event. There's something fun for people of every age. 

-The Duck Drop-
The main event for the Great Bagnell Dam Duck Drop is, of course, a Duck Drop! This happens at noon on Saturday, August 5. If you are unfamiliar with the concept, basically rubber duckies are dropped from above by Lake Ozark Helicopter into the Osage River, just below Bagnell Dam. People are invited to purchase tickets, which give them claim to a numbered duck. The first 11 ducks to cross the finish line will be the lucky winners of some incredible prizes, including $5,000 in cash! The best place to watch the drop is just past the Lake Ozark Campground & RV Park office.  

Local Kiwanis members have tickets available for sale before the event, or you can purchase them during the golf tournament or on Duck Drop day from 10-11 am in the Family Fun Zone. You can also find them at the following locations:

• Bank Star One - Lake Ozark & Osage Beach
• Central Bank of Lake of the Ozarks - Main Branch, Wal-Mary & KK Branches
• Hy-Vee Osage Beach

-The Family Fun Zone-

-The Golf Tournament-
On Friday, August 4 a one-of-a-kind "quacky" golf tournament will take place at The Ridge Golf Course in conjunction with the Duck Drop. It's a 4-person scramble with bucket holes, regulation holes, nets blocking approach shots, and various other "ducky" hazards and challenges for golfers of every level. Multiple flights will win prizes, plus there are lots of hole prizes too. 

All proceeds raised from the golf tournament will benefit the Lake Area Big Brothers/Big Sisters and Ozark Coast Kiwanis. With your paid entry fee, you will get:

• 10 Duck Drop Tickets per player
• Lunch
• 18 holes of golf
• Tournament goody bag

The Money Raised 
The money raised from all of the events surrounding the Great Bagnell Dam Duck Drop remain local. They are distributed to a long list of non-profit organizations via the Ozark Coast Kiwanis Organization. You get to have a couple of days full of fun and excitement, plus the satisfaction of knowing that many wonderful programs in the area are receiving some much-needed assistance.
