How about a musical tribute show?
If you love Frank Sinatra, Patsy Cline and performers from yesteryear, you’ll love our Tribute to the Stars series. Each musical tribute show includes lunch or dinner, entertainers that take you back in time and a memorable setting in the historic ambiance of our Great Hall. Here’s a great tip: tickets to a show makes a great holiday, birthday or anniversary gift for parents or grandparents. Seniors tell us they love the combination of seeing talented vocalists in the rustic Lodge setting and the chance to pair that with an overnight stay. Click here to see details on upcoming shows.
