POW WOW From pg. 1 Also, make sure you let the Wintertainers™ know how much you love them. They come from Branson, Nashville, and other areas to spend some time with you, to entertain you, and to make friends. Some of these entertainers have quite the following, too. Let them know you appreciate their time and talent by attending their shows and/or letting your activity directors know who you like so they can book them at your park. Activity directors need feedback – especially if they haven’t seen them perform. They need to know who they should be bringing to their parks. We have most of the Wintertainers™ listed on our website. We update this every year as we get their information. If you don’t see someone listed, please let us know so we can contact them to get their information. With so many new faces starting to visit the Valley, I am sure we are missing a few. As always, if you have something of interest going on at your park, or some photos of an event you would like to share, send those over to us at news@wintertexantimes.com. ~ Rina RAMBLINGS From pg. 1 S’MORES From pg. 20 Wild Wellness will be held on Friday, March 7 at 8:30 a.m. Fire Building 101 will be held on Saturday, March 15 at 1:30 p.m. The S’more History program will be held on Saturday, March 15 at 2:30 p.m. On Saturday, March 22, there will be a night tour at 7:30 p.m. All of these programs require reservations.
