Who is Behind the Mask?


We will be celebrating all weekend with purple, gold, and green! 

It's Masquerade Weekend, which means that hiding behind a mask is perfectly acceptable. 

Although the weather might be a little wet, great times are on the horizon! 

Be sure to check out the specials at the Pic-a-Nic basket this weekend. Even if your disguise isn't great, you can always get something good there!

All the Best,
Steve Cline
Good Ole Music Nights
As it turned out and as many of you know, last Saturday night was a big, unanticipated, fiasco.
 
Part of the plan when we had Tom up there playing was to have all of our activities people who DJ go watch Tom and learn how he does it. They were on the clock, I was paying them to do that so we could try to keep the good times rolling. 

Most of you saw several activities people up there doing this while Tom spun his magic. Unfortunately, not all of them were there and as it turned out the one person who wasn't there (who happens to be one of our best people) was DJ ing last weekend. 

I assure you it was just as frustrating for me as it was for you. I thank all of you for your input on suggested songs, which have been incorporated into our play list. We will give it another try this again this weekend and ask that you do the same. 

And rest assured, Tom is still in the picture. We are working with him on our playlist and plan to have him come back and DJ again, but he can't do it every weekend. We have some good people that we feel can learn to do this. Help us help you.

Grey Water

It is illegal to dump gray water on the ground. There will be a $50 fine for people BLATANTLY AND OBVIOUSLY dumping gray water directly on the ground. It you have any concerns about this please speak to me personally.


Wristbands

Wristbands must be worn,  ON THE WRIST, WHENEVER YOU ARE OFF YOUR SITE . It's how we know you are a registered guest here and can help provide a safe environment for you. We have been warning people for several weeks, and have now started ticketing and fining people. 


Pool Water Concerns

I would like to address the pool cloudiness that we saw on some of our first weekends. I called our pool people, Neuman Pools, and spoke with them about this. They told me we weren't alone in having that problem those first weekends and explained what was going on. 

There are a variety of factors that can cause cloudiness in the pool. Hot weather, the high volume of people in the pool, the extra suntan lotion that is worn on hot weekends, the waterproof makeup that people wear, the pollen-mold count, etc. On those first few weekends we had the "perfect storm" of all of these. We had record-setting hot temperatures and higher than usual pollen-mold counts. And if you were there you know we had a high body count.
 
I also want to assure you that we raised the chlorine level in the pools those times to accommodate for these factors and at no time was the pool without proper chemicals. We use an automatic chemical controllers, the same expensive ($5,000 each) ones that the big water parks use, and our chemical pumps (hundreds of dollars each) were replaced with the new ones this year.
