Welcome to the brand-new State of the Ozarks General Store!

AUG 15 — When I started State of the Ozarks, there were a lot of questions that I didn't have answers to. But there was one thing I knew:

State of the Ozarks should be a living website with as much focus as possible on what was going on in the Ozarks right now.

And, clearly, it couldn't just be some archive sitting on the world wide web like an old book.

The best way to counter the archival nature of State of the Ozarks was to introduce General Store.

Take a look at the explanations at right, or just head into the new sections through the navigation bar at the top of this page.

We've got bluegrass news, comprehensive festival listings and lots more.

I hope you enjoy State of the Ozarks General Store. And I hope you use it often.

Thanks,
