 Swing into Spring Dinner & Concert

  After a fun afternoon of visiting art studios in the beautiful rolling hills, why not continue the fun and take in some dinner and world recognized Canadian live music. One of our artists is also a musician and will be performing with Jim Heineman's Dream Band at the Ranch Resort, conveniently located right in Bethany.
