Tapas Tuesday

 What a difference a week makes.  Last week we had 96 participants at Tapas Tuesday and this week we were down to 79.  After chatting with attendees, next week will be even smaller as folks continue to head home to other locations.

In the meantime, we summer dwellers are planning events to keep us busy during scorching summer temps.

Marion Nelson was present to tell us about our Cinco de Mayo celebration coming up on May 5.  The park will be serving dinner at 5:00 followed by some special entertainment we won't want to miss.  I understand there will be about 10 tiny dancers all dressed in their dance regalia and they're between the ages of 4 and 7.  It should be cute and FUN to watch.  Tickets are $12 per person and available in Activities.  Must purchase by May 3 for a food head count.

Our summer dwellers are planning other events too.  There may be craft classes, computer classes, tours, caravan trips, etc.  Volunteers must sign up to be host for each Tuesday.  No volunteer host....no Tapas Tuesday.  

Volunteers are being sought to help with the school recycling program.  Actually this is for the Mesquite Elementary School that puts up bins to collect clear plastic.  More info will follow.

We have three summer holidays that will alter our plans for Tapas Tuesdays.  Those special days will be celebrated on the appropriate Monday holiday so check your calendars now before you forget.

  • Memorial Day, Monday, May 30
  • Independence Day, Monday, July 4
  • Labor Day, Monday, September 5
On these three holidays, the park will be providing an entree so we must get free food tickets for those events so an accurate food count can be taken.  Tickets will be available at our Tapas events and in Activities.
