FALL ADULT-ONLY
DUDE RANCHES
Guest ranches are ever pop-
ular as family vacation destina-
tions, but members of the Dude
Ranchers' Association recoe-
nize that adults also value time
to themselves.
As a result, more and more
guest ranches are offering spe-
cial adult-only programs, says
Colleen Hodson, executive
director of the Dude Ranchers'
Association in Cody, Wyoming.
"At least forty percent of our
member ranches set aside the
time for adults," Hodson says.
"It's definitely a growing trend
in ranch vacations."
Some ranches set aside a
month, others a week and most
all are held in the spring or fall.
"Fall is an ideal time to visit,"
Hodson says. "Not only to take
in the season's colors, but
because the summer crowds are
gone."
/
For a complete listing of
ranches that offer adult-only
programs or to request a free
catalog, call 866-399-2339, e-mail

September 4 for local students
planning to apply for admission
to the 2007-08 school year. Each

during the summer for an inter-
view.
Interviews and student-guid-
ed tours are being offered from
9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday and
Friday, and from 9 - 11 a.m.
Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday. These visits provide
time to learn about the school
and to speak with admission
counselors and student tour
guides.
All summer tour guides are
current day students who are
eager to share their pers|x.'c-
tives and experiences. The
Office of Admission will host
two open houses (one late fall,
the other in mid-January 2007)
so local families can visit while
school is in session.
