They recommend the following: 1. Plant your tree as soon as possible.

2. If you are not able to plant it the day you receive it, place it in the vegetable drawer of your refrigerator. DO NOT FREEZE.

500 DOGWOOD SAPLINGS

3. Select a planting site that will give the tree room to grow and has the correct light conditions.

4. Dig the initial hole as deep as the root system and about a foot wide.

TO BE DISTRIBUTED DURING THE DOGWOOD FESTIVAL

5. Remove the seedling from the bag and place it in the hole.

Make sure the roots are spread out and are not crowded or bent.

6. Crumble the soil back around the roots and pack firmly with your hands.

7. Water the tree thoroughly to finish packing the soil around the roots.

8. Mulch the planting area to a depth of 2 inches and to a radius of 9-12 inches around the tree.

9. New trees need the equivalent of 1 to 1.5 inches of rainfall per week during the first four years.

To keep the Dogwood trees in full bloom, the Camdenton Area Chamber of Commerce has purchased 500 Dogwood saplings. The trees were purchased from the George O. White State Forest Nursery, Missouri Department of Conservation.

According to the Missouri Department of Conservation, the majority of a tree‘s feeder roots are in the upper 6 inches of soil where they complete with grass roots for oxygen, moisture, and nutrients.

Feeder roots thrive on soil that is loose, moist and fertile–conditions often lacking in soils around homes.

6 DOGWOOD FESTIVAL 2022

The Dogwood saplings are available for pick-up at various locations:

•

Dinner Theatre - Linn Creek Museum, 206 S. Locust, Linn Creek (Friday and Saturday)

•

Camdenton Middle School Entertainment Stage

Cub Scout Pack 229 is sponsored by the VFW Post 5923 and Auxiliary.

Cub Scout 229 Assisted With Dogwood Festival Preparations The Cub Scout Pack 229 prepared the Dogwood saplings for distribution for Camdenton Chamber of Commerce, and many areas throughout the community during the 2022 Dogwood Festival. Thank you, Cub Scouts for a job well done!

2022 DOGWOOD PARADE

GRAND MARSHAL DAPHNE JEFFRIES

The Camdenton Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce this year’s Grand Marshall, Daphne Jefferies of the Camden County Historical Society. Daphne shares “ In 1995 when my husband and I first joined the Camden County Historical Society and began helping at the Camden County Museum we had no idea where this new adventure would lead. Through these twenty some years we have gained so many wonderful new friends. Many of them at the Museum where we always welcome visitors and new residents to our area with Ozarks hospitality. Of all the places I have lived throughout my life, this area is by far the friendliest and most home like.”

BLAIR RICE

O’Dean Stover served in the army. At 30 he met Dolores and was married. They had one son and four daughters.

He spent much of his time in his early years with his father learning everything about carpet. They moved from Columbia in the late 1960’s and opened Stover Carpet & Drapery.

He joined and was one of the first members of Lake Valley Country Club. He worked tirelessly in his yard with his family and spent most late afternoons sailing on the Lake of the Ozarks. He is an entrepreneur and is always looking for the next big money-making idea.

He now lives comfortably at Lake Parke Assisted Living. His daughters visit frequently to play cards and spend the day.

He especially likes going to Laker Football games which he enjoys so much.

Lake Parke Senior King and Queen

Lake Parke Senior Living offers an all inclusive lifestyle that provides assistance with basic activities of daily living. Also, we offer great opportunities for social interaction through our live bands, happy hours, numerous activities and walking trails. Come visit us and experience what Lake Parke has to offer!

Geanie Blair and O’Dean Stover Geanie Blair and O’Dean Stover are this years’ King and Queen of the Dogwood Parade.

Geanie Blair was born in Camden County and has lived here her entire life. Both of Geanie’s grandfathers homesteaded in the Lake area. Her maternal grandfather homesteaded here in 1891 under president Benjamin Harrison.

Her fraternal grandfather homesteaded here in 1901 under President William McKinley. (Way before the lake was a lake, of course!) Both of Geanie’s parents worked at the castle at Ha Ha Tonka: her mother was a postmistress at the old post office at Ha Ha Tonka and her father a groundskeeper. Geanie lived at Ha Ha Tonka until she was a teen, and graduated from Camdenton High School (Then the Camdenton Tigers) in 1945. There were 12 students in her graduating class.

Geanie and her husband, Leslie, opened their first candy and gift shop, Ozark Maid Candies, on Hwy 54 West in Camdenton in 1956. In 1960, Geanie and Les decided to expand their business to what was then up and coming Osage Beach. To that end, they bought a large tract of highway frontage in Osage Beach in 1959 where The Landing Shopping Center is today and started construction on a new Ozark Maid Candies. The Landing is still owned by the Alan Blair family and Geanie’s great grandchildren are now 4th generation Lakers.

We all feel the same commitment to care for our families. As your good neighbor agent, I can help you meet your insurance needs.

Call me today.

Camden County Historical Museum and Archives

A must stop location during the Dogwood Festival!

The Camden County Historical Society is a not-for-profit organization formed in 1962 to preserve and maintain the history and the artifacts of Camden County. The Society maintains this history in a former school building located on V-Road in Linn Creek. This building was first used as the Linn Creek School from the time the dam was built until the mid-1970’s. Since 1980, the Camden County Museum has been housed in this historic building. The Museum is maintained by the Historical Society through the generous donations of its many members and the interested residents of Camden County. The 2021 Season will debut

several new exhibits and reveal some of the many renovations done over the winter months. The Society is not tax-supported and receives much of its budget revenue through the many and various activities held at the Museum during the year. All interested residents and visitors are welcome to visit the Museum during the regular hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday) or to attend any of the events that are scheduled. For more information visit our website at www.camdencountymuseum.org
