A recently formed group is hosting the first of a series of events to raise funds for those individuals and groups in need in the Lakes Region.
The founders of the group “Ozark Mountain Community Leaders” appeared on a recent edition of KRZK’s “Ozarks Now” program to discuss this weekend’s Christmas Extravaganza which takes place at the Event Center at Branson Meadows from 10 am-6 pm.
The event will feature many vendors and is a benefit for the family of area Realtor Kelsey Drochelman, who lost her husband to a sudden illness earlier this year.
The group also plans a Chili Cook-off in January that will benefit the Jr. Auxiliary of Taney County.
More information on the events and the group from members Shannen White and Nicole Lawrence from "Ozarks Now" can be heard below:
