Everything's an Event: 121 Community Church Ladies Retreat & the Dallas Stars Game

121 Community Church Ladies Retreat

Last weekend was an event at Lone Oak Ranch. I coordinated a ladies retreat from a church called 121 Community Church for the ranch. The ladies were so organized and it was a great weekend.

Their theme was All Things New. They had a vintage decorating theme. They had some old doors on the stage along with some fun decorating touches. They got to the ranch on Friday night, registered, got their rooms and then had an opening session. They had a band and a female singer who did their praise and worship.

After the session, they had a late night party in the barn. It was really cleaned out and it was a fun space for a party.

There were two propane heaters which provided enough heat for a rather chilly February Texas night.

They included a candy bar for that night. What better way to stay up than by eating sugar! :-)

I didn't stay long, but there was Karaoke, a little line dancing and games.

I thought it was a great idea to put tables and chairs in the stalls. They could play games in there. There were 8 stalls cleaned out with tables and chairs for games. Two stables were cleared out for a photo booth. They were set up with a saddle to sit on and hats and fun things to put on to take pictures.

The next day they had another session and then break-out sessions. Such as...

Archery

BBGuns

Horseback Riding

Fondant and Cupcake Class

All things Burlap...making crafts with Burlap

There was also a Clothing Swap room. This was such a great idea. Everyone was asked to bring clothes that they do not wear for a clothing swap/exchange. There were times when the ladies could go "shop" for free.

Willie, the chef at the ranch, makes great food. They had a banquet type meal on Saturday night and then another session.

The weather was great for this retreat and the ladies seemed to really love having the whole ranch to themselves, and had a great time.

The Dallas Stars Game

It's been a while since we have been to the Dallas Stars game in the American Airlines Center. We sat pretty far up, but had fun with our friends Jeff and Stephanie. We lost the game but we won a free taco since the Stars scored in the 3rd period.
