7 Things To Do At The Lake This Weekend

The recreational boating season lingered deep into the fall this year, but this weekend's sudden chill will likely put some ice on the engines until spring. Meanwhile, there's plenty to do on land, at the Lake

1. It's the second—and last—weekend of open firearms deer season, so plenty of hunters will be taking a final stab at putting venison in the freezer.

2. November is diabetes awareness month and Lake Regional Health Systems is hosting Diabetes Wellness Day on Friday from 9 AM to Noon. That’s happening in the 3rd floor conference rooms at Lake Regional Hospital in Osage Beach. There will be speakers discussing diabetes prevention, as well as tips on managing the disease, healthy eating and cooking demonstrations. It’s free, but you should pre-register online at lake-regional-dot-com-slash-events, to secure your spot.

3. It’s time for the Holiday Marketplace at the Camden County Museum. You can get some major holiday shopping done and support local businesses.

That runs Friday and Saturday from 9 AM to 4 PM at the Museum in Linn Creek.
