Skaterfest @ LOTO *Updates
In just a few weeks, the Lake of the Ozarks will be flooded with Skater Powerboats. On August 27-29, Team Skater will host Skaterfest 2010 at the Camden on the Lake Resort. The event is free and open to the public; we invite everyone to come out and see some of the finest, fastest powerboats in the country. Over 35 Skaters from all over the country will be gathered at Toad Cove all weekend, alongside exotic cars (including 2 Lambos and a Bugatti), a drag boat and tunnel boat. We will hold a silent auction with unique, performance-themed items up for bids, which will be displayed among the vendor booths, for the weekend.
Friday, August 27
We encourage everyone to get out and enjoy the lake Friday afternoon; either with the Shoot-out poker run, one of the many fun runs, or at the numerous waterfront bars and restaurants.
