Our Once in a Lifetime Tour was a rousing success. We were overwhelmed with requests for the $50 tickets in support of the Rose Valley Centennial Foundation’s efforts to renovate Thunderbird Lodge and provide a permanent home for the Rose Valley Museum and Historical Society, and had to shut off reservations days before the tour for fear we would not be able to accommodate the crowd. More than 400 people joined us for the event, braving sun then sleet then sun then rain then sun again. It was a wonderful day. See photos of the event and read more about Thunderbird Lodge here.
