Put on your boots and spurs and mosey on over to join others who enjoy Colorado, because we will be hootin’ and hollerin’ March 3. The Colorado State Party is coming to Pebble Town for a stompin’ good time! Don’t miss this opportunity to head to the Centennial State’s western themed party, “Colorado Roundup ‘23.”

Come on y’all who enjoy Colorado and meet your Arizona neighbors! You can saddle up and wiggle into your boots for the wildest party in PebbleCreek.

Don’t hesitate when making your reservation or you will lose out on a chance to party on the ranch. The party has sold out in lickety-split time for the past five years.

To snag a reservation, the procedures are simple:

So following the “age-old” tradition of celebrating our former state on Groundhog Day, the Pennsylvania Party will be held on a, Feb. 2. The evening will begin with socializing at 5:30 p.m. in the Chianti Room followed by a pasta buffet dinner. There will also be a cash bar available.

There will be additional information forthcoming on the PC egroup and in PebbleNews.

Wisconsin Party

Pat Jensen

The planning for the next Wisconsin party is well underway. It should be a great time with the theme being a Beer-Cheese Festival. The date is Sunday, Feb. 26, starting at 3 p.m. in the Tuscany Falls Ballroom. Tickets will be available for sale in early February. We will have tables of 10 available, or you can sign up individually. We are asking everyone to fill out a universal form with all the members of your party listed. You will need to choose your entree when you make your reservation. Only checks will be accepted. This should make the sign-up process go smoothly. Last year we sold out 200 tickets in an hour, so it is a popular event. We will be able to have 250 people this year.

There will be games, raffle prizes, and the popular card game. We will try to make sure everyone gets a card who wants one. It will be a plated dinner again because everyone seemed to like that. Our emcee is planning an entertaining program, and there will also be some musical entertainment.

Thank you to those who have donated some beer, and there is still time for those of you driving back to throw a six-pack of your favorite local beer in your trunk. We could also use some cheese gifts.

Watch future notices to find out the dates of ticket sales and how to get the sign-up sheet in advance. If you have any questions, you can contact me at [email protected].

See you in February!
