Hope Carol Varner

Had it not been for Hope Varner girls and women would not be enjoying the participation and benefits to the extent they do today

What a remarkably talented woman. If it had not been for Hope and Victor Varner the many years of trail riding concession at Lake of Ozark State Park had not occurred. One does not truly know and experience the true Cowboy and Cowgirl history of Missouri if not on horseback

I remember Hope when she and Tex came to our Girl Scout Camp Pin Oak at the Lake of the Ozarks. I have their photo in a group photo of all the counselors in 1950; she had a long and wonderful life. I did see and talk with her probably in the 1970s, she sang a little, said she had had surgery on her throat and could not sing as well. but we all enjoyed seeing and hearing her.
what a wonderful lady and mother and grandmother!

I am a wrangler at Lake of the Ozarks State Park. I am honored to be part of a legacy Mrs. Varner started.

I am so proud to have been a small part of Hope's life. Gay, Dick and Vicki; my pony, Sandy; rodeo nights at the Ozark Stampede, trail ride on my birthday, substitute teaching for my dad, 4-H and music. WOW
