It was so cool to see some love for the Ozarks in this year’s Super Bowl! The Table Rock Lake Group was made instantly famous by the Facebook commercial during the game. That got us thinking about all the other cool groups there are on Facebook here in the Ozarks. Let’s take a look at some of them and as always, please tell us about your favorite local group in the comments on Facebook or Twitter!

No, the name of the group is not grammatically correct and that’s been discussed many times in the history of this popular Facebook group. It was corrected for the image above but remains incorrect in the title, which drives some folks nuts and makes others laugh. The purpose of the group, however, s just to talk to locals. People ask for recommendations, ask for help remembering things about our community, post memes and plenty more. It’s a private group to join and be sure you read the rules before posting!
