Summerset Recognized as a 25+ Year Member of the Lake Area Chamber

Each Fall the Lake Area Chamber Members come together for an annual meeting and dinner celebration. This event is just one of the many great social and networking events you can attend as a member.  Many awards are given to members throughout the night for various accomplishments. Summerset Inn Resort was one of the members receiving an award last week at this year's dinner!

25+ Year Member Award 

 
Dave and Kathy Brooks have been a members of the Lake Area Chamber of Commerce for 32 years now! Their children, Brian and Angie Schuster who help run the business, are following in their footsteps and are also very involved in the Chamber.  In fact, Angie Schuster was just elected to the Chamber Board this year!

About Summerset


Lake of the Ozarks is well-known as one of the premier vacation and second home destinations in the Midwest with boating, lodging, golfing, great entertainment and restaurants that feature the best sunsets…which is how it all started for Summerset.  In the 1970s, our family traveled to the Lake most weekends to relax, joining family and friends by the Lake to watch the amazing Summer sunsets!  We liked it here so much that we purchased property and started building our Lake of the Ozarks resort in 1971.  We expanded our business in 1982, by opening our second venue, Summerset Boat Lifts.

Make this weekend a vacation at the Lake of the Ozarks while the beautiful weather is still here!

Extreme Races


The Extremes Races have a guaranteed purse of over $14000 in prize money if all divisions are filled and if the marathon record is broken. The best overall time within "The Extreme Races" will win $500 plus! Beat the course record currently held by Mike Herbert and take home an additional $1500!  If you can race only one of the days, you will still be eligible for a share of the purse for that day.

Shorter Races


If paddling dam to dam in two days doesn't turn you on, not to worry!  LOWA's 2 Dam Days Paddle Marathon includes a race to meet every taste.

Sweet 16 

A little bit of a challenge for those who want a taste of the lake. This was a new race in 2013 and replaced the 12.5 mile "Just4Fun" race held in 2010, 2011, and 2012. The starting point was also changed but, as with all the races, the finish point on Saturday is still Captain Ron's at the 34.5 mile mark.

  • 15.5 Miles
  • Saturday
  • Start at 50 MM (Red Fox)
  • Prize is % of fee

Anything Goes Sprint 

The notion of paddling almost 100 miles in two days sounds a bit extreme to most people.  So if you would rather paddle around and just have fun on a Saturday afternoon, or if you would prefer to show your speed in a sprint as opposed to an endurance contest, then the 3.5 mile Anything Goes Sprint is the race for you.
  • 3.5 Miles
  • Saturday
  • Start at 38 MM (Bear Bottom Resort)
  • Special Prize (no cash awards)

For more details on the event, please visit: www.2damdays.org.

The purpose of the 2 Dam Days Paddle Marathon is to provide support to LOWA, the citizen-based, non-profit organization dedicated to maintaining the water quality of the Lake of the Ozarks, while helping the local economy by publicizing to the world the beauty and recreational aspects of the Lake of the Ozarks! If you need a place to stay while you're here, give Summerset Inn a call at 573-348-5073.   See you this weekend at the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks in Central Missouri!
