Day 3
Tour the College of the Ozarks, known locally as "Hard Work U," where no student pays tuition. Rather, they work on the school farm and elsewhere on campus to earn their education. Enjoy a Sports Leisure Vacations private and exclusive afternoon tea with Dee Dee Lennon and her brother Bill Lennon. Diane (Dee Dee) is well remembered as the lead singer of the Lennon Sisters, "America's Sweethearts of Song." Dee Dee will discuss her life as a performer with stories of Lawrence Welk, Bob Hope, and more. There will be plenty of time for Q & A after the talk. Tonight, Steve Presley joined by four generations of his family perform country classics to Gospel with zany antics from Herkimer and Cecil guaranteed to have you rolling in the aisle at Presley's Jubilee.

Today is a nature day. Step aboard an open air tram and explore the beauty of Dogwood Canyon on a Wildlife Tram Tour. You'll wind through the canyon floor, past towering bluffs and waterfalls. Cross the border into Arkansas and view Bison, Elk and longhorn cattle. At the Top of the Rock, Ozark Heritage Preserve, experience the Lost Canyon by golf cart!
