LAKE OF THE OZARKS, Mo. — *crack* "There's a long drive, way back..."
So begins a commercial promoting the Lake of the Ozarks that baseball fans across the Midwest have been hearing this summer, on radio broadcasts of St. Louis Cardinals games.
Cardinals broadcaster Mike Shannon voices two different commercials to promote the Lake, which are funded by the Tri-County Lodging Association in partnership with the Lake of the Ozarks Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Missouri Division of Tourism.
The TCLA paid to run 164 of the 30-second spots during the summer of 2014. As the Lake's busy tourism season winds down, the ads have been put on hold until May of 2015.
