Summer “TV Dinners”

Melissa Kallett

It’s time to play games—as the summertime hit TV Dinners returns on Friday, June 10 in the Tuscany Falls Ballroom and continues thereafter on the first Friday of the month in July and August. These fun filled evenings brought to you by your Recreation, Activities and Food & Beverage departments will provide you a buffet dinner and the opportunity to meet some of your fellow summer Creekers, while becoming part of the after dinner entertainment. Yes, following dinner, all attendees become part of the fun as contestants on a different TV Game Show each month.

“It’s all about getting out of the house, meeting new people, eating and having fun,” says Melissa Kallett, Director of Recreation and emcee of the night. “Folks can come alone, as a couple, or with a group of their friends. When you buy your ticket at the Eagle’s Nest Activities Office we’ll assign you a seat at a large community table to encourage camaraderie for the night. At the end of the night, diners will leave having met new friends and having had a good laugh from all the fun.”

Tickets are $17 (includes cost of meal, tip, tax and prize fund) and can be purchased at the Eagle’s Nest Activities Office Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Each month the ballroom will open for bar service at 5:30 p.m. with dinner buffet at 6:00 p.m. and TV Game Show at 7:00 p.m.

The first TV Dinner is Friday, June 10 and the Game Show will be Majority Rules. Each table becomes a team—and a series of consensus seeking questions will be asked, each with no right or wrong answer. The most popular answer is correct and teams with that answer win. “The questions will not test your intelligence level so there is nothing to fear,” says Kallett. “We’d love to fill the ballroom and hope people come out and support this fun activity,” says Patti Wegehaupt of the Activities Office. The June TV Dinner will feature a chicken picante buffet (that includes a fresh salad, pasta, summer vegetables, a beverage bar and assorted cakes).

Mark your calendar—and plan to attend this summer happening! The July TV Game Show will be Liar, Liar and in August a game yet to be determined. Tickets for each dinner go on sale the day following the previous TV Dinner. Questions can be directed to Patti at the Activities Office, 535-9854 or Melissa, recreation director, at 935-6743.
