Making Our Way Back!

When faced with challenge, our region knows how to overcome. As Helen Keller said, “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” Our region met COVID-19 as a collective community coming together to accomplish the same goal and…we are making our way back!

We would not be where we are without all the individuals who took actions, big and small, to put the health of everyone in our community over the individual needs and comfort of one person. From those who adhered to social distancing to the healthcare professionals who put their life on the line, it took a lot of individual actions to create such an exponential impact. On pages 52-54, we highlight Heroes on the Frontlines. We are so thankful for all the sacrifices, big and small, and from so many of you!

Events are back! It is so good to fill our pages again with events and activities for the whole family to enjoy. Whether you are looking for a poetry reading to a local farmer’s market, we have what is happening in your hometown in our Calendar of Events section. Warm weather, summer months and pages of activities will transform this summer into the one we had once imagined.

Businesses are back! It is so good to see local businesses opening their doors and doing what they love. Remember, it is more important than ever to shop local. Local businesses make our communities by supporting our youth activities, sponsoring events and providing quality services with heart and dedication. Visit a locally owned restaurant, retailer or service provider and give back for all they have given to us all of these years! We need each other!

Special events are back! For those who had to temporarily pause the planning of their special day, we have you covered. On pages 62-67, we bring you our Ultimate Wedding Destinations & Services. We will help you catch up, get creative and find the best services and information available to make your dream day a reality. Together, we can make it happen!

Show Me The Ozarks Magazine is committed to highlighting the culture and lifestyle of our region. In this edition, you will find articles that represent the current events, and you will find the monthly features you have grown to count on. We will help you decorate your home, highlight a community and tell the story of a local hero. We are dedicated to capturing our journey back to our new normal, and we could not be more proud and honored to be a part of a region that understands the strength of a community over the power of an individual!

We are on our way back!
