JEFFERSON CITY, MO. – The Missouri House of Representatives has passed HB 2670, known as “Marie’s Law,” a bipartisan initiative aimed at improving boating safety at Lake of the Ozarks State Park. Sponsored by Representative Dr. Lisa Thomas (R-District 123), the bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to install signage at designated state-owned boat ramps promoting responsible boating practices.
Summer is in full swing at the Lake, and the shoreline is buzzing with activity. From classic car shows and boat displays to live music and family fun, there’s no shortage of entertainment to dive into this season. Whether you’re cruising the water or strolling the strip, July promises a packed calendar of can’t-miss events.

But the party reaches far beyond the Lake to the rolling plush hills of the area’s many championship golf courses. Whether it’s a tournament or just a private tee time, golfers all over the Lake are teeing it up for their health and good clean fun.

In 1975, Mack Amini opened a modest store in Oklahoma City with just five pool tables and a handful of bar stools. Having emigrated from Iran in the 1960s, Mack was driven by a vision of entrepreneurship and a desire to build a better life for his young family.
