MEET THE ADORABLE FURRY FRIENDS FROM AROUND THE LAKE! L•O PROFILE is incredibly grateful for the continued support of its amazing Facebook community. Each year, followers share photos of their beloved pets, and this special VIP Scene highlights some of the four-legged (and two-legged) family members that make life at the Lake even sweeter. From playful pups to photogenic companions, these submissions showcase the love, personality, and joy pets bring to their families every day. L•O PROFILE is proud to celebrate the Lake area community and the pets who hold a special place in their homes—and hearts—bringing smiles to readers throughout the region.

1932 Reserve hosted the School of the Osage High School culinary team’s ProStart dinner on Feb. 1, 2026, highlighting the students’ skill, teamwork, and ability to perform under pressure. The five-member team prepared a refined three-course menu featuring caramelized trumpet mushroom tagine, pan-seared garam masala lamb chops, and malva bread pudding. With more than 100 guests in attendance, students were tasked with prepping, cooking, and serving the entire meal without electricity, using only three small gas burners and just 20 minutes to measure ingredients and 45 minutes to prepare their three dishes. The challenge closely mirrored real ProStart competition conditions. Led by Parrie Bayles and supported by chefs Scott Romano and Andre Torres, the dinner served as valuable preparation for the team’s February 20 competition in Springfield, Missouri.

L•O PROFILE’s objective is to spotlight, support, and elevate local businesses.

This collaborative relationship strengthens our local economy and helps ensure the Lake of the Ozarks business community continues to thrive for years to come.

L•O PROFILE kicked off the year in true Lake-life style with our Big Business Launch Social at Lani Kai Beach Resort in Fort Myers Beach, Florida, on January 13. With Gulf views, warm breezes, and familiar faces, the afternoon was the perfect mix of networking and celebration as we toasted the newest issue and the incredible partners and friends who help bring each edition to life.
