Candyland is an event that promotes generosity during the Christmas season through gift donations for underprivileged children in the Lake area. The event was founded in 1984 and to date has served more than 10,000 local children. Karen Hughes, Lake Ozark Rotary Club President said, “In hard times, these children feel the impact even more and community generosity can help bring a smile to a child’s face this holiday season!”
Christmas trees with candy canes will be setup at Nick's True Value Hardware Store in Osage Beach, and at the Tri-County YMCA in Osage Beach. Select a candy cane from the tree, and on that candy cane, will be a card with the name of a needy child in the area. Purchase gifts ranging from $75-$100 (or what you can afford), and return the gifts with the card to Nick's True Value Hardware Store. Once gifts are received, the Rotary Club will deliver the gifts to the children. Cash donations are also being taken for the cause by contacting the Rotary Club.
