Casino Ranch (bring the family)  6PM - 10PM

Test your card skills at our western style Casino Ranch Party located a short bus ride away at the rustic Keystone Ranch (buses will leave from Keystone Lodge beginning at 5:30pm). We'll have a variety of casino table games, cow roping, putting, horseshoe throwing, kids game card tables and face painting/balloon artist for the kids. This evening we will also have a feature artist by the name of M. L. Friis joining us to create beautiful charcoal portraits of your children as a keepsake.
