Change

Wow.....Okay....so my apologies to anyone who may actually be following my blogsite. I always want to think that I'll be able to update on a regular basis but it always seems that time slips by so fast that I don't even realize it. So once again.....here we are staring at the finish line of another year, another season. The temperatures are dropping, leaves have changed and are all but gone, and those aren't the only things that are changing around here at the park. Blue Licks said goodbye to our park manager for nearly 4 years in September. Mr. Michael Schwendau has moved on to bigger and better things. He will be missed here at the park. Since about mid October, Blue Licks has been appointed a new "captain," if you will, who will assume the position of park manager. Mr. Rob Mack comes to us from the Indiana Dept. of Parks, having served at Hardy Lake State Park for several years before receiving this most recent appointment. We wish him well here at Blue Licks. If you get a chance to stop in some time, be sure and tell him "hello." Oh yeah, and check back often because I promise to do a better job keeping up with our blogsite so you can find out about everything that's going on here at park!

If your looking for some ways to get the family out and about this holiday season, look no further than Blue Licks. We've got a host of special weekends coming up during December that you're sure to want to check out:

December 6th & 7th:

FANTASTICAL THEATRICALS PRESENT  :

No holds are barred as television favorites to some traditional Christmas classics get skewered in these light-hearted parodies. The whole family will have an uproariously good time!

The four parodies included in the evenings performance are:

Santa and the City: The Old Mid-West will never be the same when four young single ladies in Manhattan, KS try to open a shoe store. Little did they reckon a greedy land baron, whose hair has hypnotic powers, would try to take over the town just before Christmas

The Holiday Surprise: It’s the day before Christmas and Santa is nowhere to be found. The residents of Goosebump, Alaska (the first town South of the North Pole) try to find a substitute. Only a Canadian Mountie can save the day!

The Grouch Who Couldn’t Steal Christmas: The Annual Holiday Pageant in the town of Whooterville goes awry when Phineas P Grouch seeks revenge from a broken heart. But who is the real villain here?

The Magical Christmas of Mistle Toe, Kansas: The town of Mistle Toe is broke and the land rights are up for grabs. Mayor Georgette Bradley pins all their hopes and dreams on a one night only benefit performance by “The Amazing Ricky and His Magic Wand”. You won’t believe the magic that occurs when they discover the true meaning of the season.
