Arrangements have been made for a dinner sleigh ride on the evening of
Thursday,\
April 12.

> 'A bus will pick up the group at the hotel at 6:30pm. Once you arrive
> at their basecamp, you will climb aboard custom-made sleighs pulled by
> Percheron and Belgian Draft Horses.  You then take a 30-35 minute ride
> through the Arapahoe National Forest under a canopy of tall pine trees
> and beautiful stars or maybe snow lightly falling as you ride through
> the woods.
>
> As you step off the sleigh you enter the world of Colorado in the
> 1800s, where gold was \'king\' and gold miners ran Brecken-ridge. 
> Upon arrival at a restored miner\'s cabin in the woods you enter a
> warm room with the aroma of a delicious dinner. 
>
> Entertainment is provided by an actor who does a monologue as an old
> gold miner.  Or an actress who does a monologue as a dance hall girl
> or Molly Brown (a survivor of the Titanic and a Denver socialite). 
> Everyone gets to join in the fun during this part of the evening. Then
> finally you are ready to dine!'
