2016 Lake of the Ozarks Crazy Party Cove (best of)

Party Cove is the popular name given for Anderson Hollow Cove, a cove in Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri that according to The New York Times is the “oldest established permanent floating bacchanal in the country.[1]

Various places in the lake have received the name since the 1960s but the informal event has been pushed out by private owners until since 1996 when it moved to Anderson Hollow Cove within the confines of Lake of the Ozarks State Park at the 4 mile marker of the Grand Glaize Arm of the lake a mile south of the Grand Glaize Bridge.

The cove itself is about a mile long and 200 yards wide. On summer weekends as many 3,000 pleasure boats with around 8,000 aboard gather in the cove lining up in two rows with newcomers running a gauntlet of water cannon and taunts to take their clothes off (although the Kansas City Star reports that the overwhelming number of visitors in the fraternity house environment are male).[2] Produced by Shawn Kober a Big Planet Media Production contact us at bigplanetmedia.com 660-864-3423

Doc Weston Day - September 1, 1957, Galt, MO USA

In 1957 the people of Galt, MO honored the 47 years of community service provided by Dr. U.C. Weston, MD (1885-1957), my grandfather. My father, Jack Weston, captured the event on 8mm film. Here I have edited the film, added an audio track, and created freeze frames to aid in the identification of individual faces.

From the Chillicothe (MO) Constitution-Tribune, September 4, 1957:

GALT HONORS DR. U. C. WESTON | GALT, Mo Sept 4 - About 750 persons, residents of Galt and this area, turned out at the city park here Sunday to honor Dr. U. C. Weston, a physician who has served this community 47 years in keeping with the reminiscent tone of the celebration Dr. Weston made his appearance at the affair in a horse-drawn buggy, driven by a friend, Manuel Eitel. The physician, who is still practicing, is 71. A community style basket dinner was followed by a program. Several persons made brief talks in tribute to the honored guest, and members of his family and relatives were introduced. Dr. Weston was born in a log cabin near Gait. Among those who attended the celebration and given particular recognition was his first schoolteacher, Mrs. Lettie Jackson. A biography of the physician was read by the Rev. Billy Rlggs and remarks on Dr. Weston's work with children were made by Mrs. Harold Hamilton. Dr. Weston has delivered about 1.800 babies.

Marshfield 4th parade 1975

The 4th of July Parade in Marshfield has been happening for at least 130 years. Some say it's the longest running 4th parade east of the Mississippi!
As a very green KY3 reporter, I couldn't help but report on this long running parade in my hometown. You'll no doubt see relatives and friends in this film. That's what the 4th in Marshfield is all about. Also, a part of the film is the family picnics on the 4th. For this segment, I went to the Willis Case family gathering in Marshfield. Willis and Ruby Case were members of the Marshfield Christian Church along with my parents, Howard and Marion Fillmer. So enjoy this look back at the 4th in'75, and share with all who might want to see it.

War of 1812 | Wikipedia audio article

The War of 1812 was a conflict fought between the United States, the United Kingdom, and their respective allies from June 1812 to February 1815. Historians in Britain often see it as a minor theater of the Napoleonic Wars; in the United States and Canada, it is seen as a war in its own right.
From the outbreak of war with Napoleonic France, Britain had enforced a naval blockade to choke off neutral trade to France, which the US contested as illegal under international law. To man the blockade, Britain impressed American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy. Incidents such as the Chesapeake–Leopard affair inflamed anti-British sentiment in the US. In 1811, the British were in turn outraged by the Little Belt affair, in which 11 British sailors died. Britain supplied Indians who raided American settlers on the frontier, hindering American expansion and provoking resentment. Historians debate whether the desire to annex some or all of British North America (Canada) contributed to the American decision to go to war. On June 18, 1812, US President James Madison, after heavy pressure from the War Hawks in Congress, signed the American declaration of war into law.With most of its army in Europe fighting Napoleon, Britain adopted a defensive strategy. American prosecution of the war effort suffered from its unpopularity, especially in New England, where it was derogatorily referred to as Mr. Madison's War. American defeats at the Siege of Detroit and the Battle of Queenston Heights thwarted attempts to seize Upper Canada, improving British morale. American attempts to invade Lower Canada and capture Montreal also failed. In 1813, the Americans won the Battle of Lake Erie, gaining control of the lake, and at the Battle of the Thames defeated Tecumseh's Confederacy, securing a primary war goal. A final American attempt to invade Canada was fought to a draw at the Battle of Lundy's Lane during the summer of 1814. At sea, the powerful Royal Navy blockaded American ports, cutting off trade and allowing the British to raid the coast at will. In 1814, one of these raids burned the capital, Washington, although the Americans later repulsed British attempts to invade New England and capture Baltimore.
In Britain, there was mounting opposition to wartime taxation and demands to reopen trade with America. With the abdication of Napoleon, the blockade of France ended and Britain ceased impressment, rendering the issue of the impressment of American sailors moot. The British were then able to increase the strength of the blockade on the United States coast, annihilating American maritime trade and bringing the US government near to bankruptcy. Neither side wanted to continue fighting. Peace negotiations began in August 1814, and the Treaty of Ghent was signed on December 24. News of the peace did not reach America for some time. Unaware of the treaty, British forces invaded Louisiana and were defeated at the Battle of New Orleans in January 1815. These late victories were viewed by Americans as having restored national honour, leading to the collapse of anti-war sentiment and the beginning of the Era of Good Feelings, a period of national unity. News of the treaty arrived shortly thereafter, halting military operations. The treaty was unanimously ratified by the US Senate on February 17, 1815, ending the war with no boundary changes.
