From The Resort Manager It is so much fun to see all of you enjoying the bands, craft rooms and special events around the Resort and I am glad you are here.

I was happy to see a sold out crowded at the Wyatt Earp presentation and the Hoedown night rounded out a great day of ‘how the west was fun’!! Thank you to all who participated in the Artisan Showcase, Craft Fair and Quilt Show. It was a lot of work for the crafters, coordinators, and volunteers but what a great way to show off our awesome Resort and all the fun things we do here at Towerpoint! Let’s keep the party going into March with the parades, St. Patrick’s Day shenanigans and quarter beer night with Caution Band. Come out and join us on the patio for good music with great friends.
