VDO We are having a rootin’, tootin’ good time this season and the party is definitely continuing as we start off the month with the Cal-Am concert, Rebel. After performing on the hit show, X Factor, the band was offered their own show in Vegas where they won several awards! But that’s not all, we are so pleased that David Phelps, another world-renowned singer will be joining us on February 22nd. Get your tickets now! Solo? No problem! Saddle up and join the roundup at Music on the Patio on Friday, the 4th for the Singles Mingle from 4:00 – 6:00 pm. Look for the reserved tables. Fifty years ago, Johnny Cash wrote a song called, a Little Thing Called Love. Funny how that is the theme of our 50th Wedding Anniversary and Valentines Dance this year. A little thing called love shouldn’t hold you back. It doesn’t matter if you are single, dating or married, mosey over and grab a ticket because you won’t want to miss this special night. Hot on the “boot” heels of celebrating country love we are going to get our boogie woogie on with a Mardi Gras Bash to remember. We are bringing a bit of New Orleans to VDO with a parade, beads, 25¢ beer and wine, gumbo and an 8-piece show with Mr. Boogie Woogie. Who is the best in the west? Our volunteers. At VDO we couldn’t do it without our volunteers, so we are ending the month with a celebration to show you just how appreciated you are. Lindsey Benedict will be performing in the ballroom at 3:00 with a baked Potato Bar immediately following. But that’s not all. We also have Caution on the patio and Reign and country on the Bocce patio with 25¢ beer and wine to thank you. Let’s have a great time this month at VDO where the wild west is at its best!
