Rainbow Ranch Newsletter – May 2012
Summer is upon us! It’s getting hot already. Never fear! We have the pool ready for the heat. The ladies at the ranch were successful at getting it beautiful and blue. The bears got to take the first plunge and cool off last weekend. I am ready for the good times in the pool to be back. I’ve got my cooler ready to be packed up to head that direction.
Special Announcement
We will soon be replacing the two rental RV’s with new cabins. New cabins will be placed where the RV’s are currently. This will not change any reservations that you have in these two units. We are looking forward to these new additions to our campground.
The small 5th wheel has been sold, but the large 5th wheel is still available. If interested, please inquire at info@rainbowranch.net
Recent Events by Debbie:
Trash Disco
It was a blast!!! It was hysterically funny!!!! You should have been here!!! The pictures don’t do justice. Rumor has it that it was one of the best events ever! We danced our legs off to great disco music provided by Ron. The judging committee selected the best site decoration and best costumes. The winner of the site decoration was site 116 belonging to Debbie and Maggie. They had undies on the fence, a homeless looking man who was actually their son lying in a sleeping bag being, well, a bum! He was distressed because he couldn’t find his false teeth which were in the dog bowl! Yuk!!!!! Everything was for sale and they even had a payment plan!! Second and third place went to a group decorating effort. Two camp sites went in together to do a great disco scene with, of course, strobe lights! Second place went to Tara from Arlington and third place went to Lisa also from Arlington. The costumes were fabulous and truly disco. The judges selected Brian for 3rd place, Debbie for 2nd and Michael for first place. Congratulations!
You have GOT to put this weekend on your calendar for next year!
Weekend with Anton Shaw
What an absolutely glorious, heartfelt, wonderful weekend we had with Anton and her band!!!! Friday night we were treated to Karaoke, getting a little preview of Anton’s show on Saturday night, and heard really good singers too! O.k., o.k., we heard some pretty good singers and some downright not so good singers! But all of them just made it that more fun!! Saturday morning Anton and her partner, Shawna, kicked it off with a washers tournament. There was great competition and lots of laughs at that event too! I’ve never seen so much excitement, high fives and hugging going on when a “lesser” athletically talented one hit the hole! For a minute there I thought we were at the Washer Olympics!!! The afternoon was spent meeting new folks, reconnecting with “old” ones and eating great food. Then, Anton filled us up with great song after song after song!!! I’m sitting here trying to express to you what she was like but the only word that keeps coming to mind is WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!!! Thank you Anton for giving us a part of your heart and soul Saturday night. We will always cherish your gift!
Keep your eyes on our web page because we’re going to try to get Anton back with us this Fall. She is truly someone you DON’T want to miss!
Cinco de Mayo/Volleyball Weekend
On Saturday, May 5, we celebrated Cinco de Mayo with a rip roarin’ volleyball game! We had “dive on your belly” hits, “face in the sand” hits and some “where did that ball come from?!?” NON hits! Those of us cheering our favorite teams on were doing so in the shade drinking Bloody Marys! What a great way to watch friends and family fight to the end to be the champs! The champs received about 300 jello shots to enjoy and pass out to friends. That evening we had a delicious dinner in the pavilion and we were graciously entertained by Carlos doing drag.
Put it on your calendar for next year! We need someone to challenge that number one volleyball team!!!!!!!!
Spring Bear Round Up
Wow! Wow!! and Wow!!! We certainly did round up a lot of bears, cubs and otters! Friday night at the Meet and Greet friends connected with old friends and made a ton of new friends. Then, they danced their socks off until 1:00 A.M. to the tunes of DJ C-Rail!
Saturday morning brought a few headaches, a lot of smiles, lots of fun in the pool, playing badminton, Mexican horseshoes, canoeing in the lake, sunning, and soaking up the special ambiance that can only be found at Rainbow Ranch! Saturday night DJ Terry provided great music for the bears to get down to and boy, did they!!
So, another GREAT Spring Bear Round-up for Rainbow Ranch was had by all. If you want to book a spot for next year we start taking reservations on Jan. 1, 2013. See ya then!
