The people of the Ozark Mountains are low key, friendly, and down to earth, indulging in dancing, singing, music making, arts, crafts, gardening, quilting, horse and cattle raising, fishing, hunting, golfing, canoeing, and county fairs, as well as eating good home cooked food at pot lucks and watching the sun set over the mountain tops.
If you are looking for a quiet country spot to get in touch with nature and enjoy crafts and music, this is the place. Yet, for those times when you want more than peace and quiet, the faster pace of Branson or Little Rock, with their more urban attractions, is only an hour and a half away.
