Bumping this to the top.
Rendezvous in the Ozarks Overland Rally
Rendezvous in the Ozarks 2020 - Byrd's Adventure Center
I went to this last year and had a good time. Met the Bearded Unicorn and another fellow with Taco and hit a couple awesome trails in the area.
We were on this trail going the other way. There are cut arounds on some of the most difficult areas (which we took). I'd say we were on this trail for a good 3 hours.

The rally has a large vendor section with some deals to be had. Plus there are training sessions / classes to attend throughout Saturday and Sunday.
Every night they have a huge drawing for everyone that is registered for the event. I won a Frontrunner kitchen cutlery set. They gave away about 5 winches, a rooftop tent, and a ton of other recovery gear last year. I was amazed by the quality and volume of the drawing.
They even gave away a Ruger MKIV 22LR pistol.
I got a crappy motel last year but plan to camp on site this year.
It's not too late to sign up if y'all want to hit some awesome trails. Total with tax for 1 person is $62.41.
Some pics from last year and a really crappy video filmed on my buddy's cell phone:

Note cell service is spotty to nonexistent. Cash is king at the vendor area.
IIRC the restaurant will take a credit card.
