We had finger snacks the next night.  They started a fire and we just sat around talked and ate.
Sat. 10/1 We were told about a college in the mountains so we went to see it.  College of the Ozark also called Hard Work U. The campus was well laid out.  The students work 15 hour a week and one 40 hr.week in a semester. They leave not owing anything.  They raise cows and pigs.  Milk the cows for milk and cream and butter. They grind the flour  and raise there own veg. They have a wonderful restaurant that they have open to the public which they use all the ingred and livestock to supply the restaurant.  We ate there.  Totally awesome.  They make there own fruitcake and jams and sell them and ship them all over..  They have many water falls and spectacular views. 

We left there and went to the Table Rock Lake Dam. Then back for the last night of the rally for pot luck dinner.
Sun. 10/2 We left the park and went to church on the way to the new campgrounds we staying at.  We went back to the dam and fishery at the dam.  Went to get hair cuts and back to do laundry.
