Head Motor Company Partnership Continues: Earlier today, representatives of the City of Lake Ozark were presented a check for $25,000 from Head Motor Company/ Head Indian to assist in offsetting expenses related to supporting the Rally on the Strip event happening throughout this week. Throughout the weekend, Head Motor Company offers demo rides of their motorcycles at 3070 Bagnell Dam Boulevard, and they have a vendor tent set up on the Strip selling merchandise. Now in its fourth year, this partnership between the City and the Rally on the Strip presenting sponsor began in 2021 to ensure that a safe and accessible environment for bikers could exist on the Bagnell Dam Strip during Bikefest. Money received through this partnership goes to assist Lake Ozark Police Department with personnel and equipment expenses throughout the event, as well as additional staff support from Lake Ozark Public Works.
