We have a myriad of activities for your guests including horseback riding, basketball, ping-pong, volleyball, horseshoes, fishing, and sporting clays.
Additionally, your guests will have the opportunity to do nothing at all if they want to: They can do nothing by the pool, or on the fireplace patio, or while taking a walk and viewing the wildlife. Of course, one of the most popular items is to do nothing while receiving a spa treatment!
So check "Entertain Guests" off your to-do list. We've covered that one for you! We have hosted many weddings here. The Texas feel of the lodge will ensure that your wedding will be unlike any other your guests have ever attended. The lodge will be yours to arrange and decorate. And you have 2000 acres where you may hold your ceremony. Continue to read this newsletter each month. In each issue, we will highlight different unique characteristics of WB Ranch that will make your wedding day a success AND all your own. | | Featured Employee | | | | | Blake Dinning  Blake is our featured employee this month. He is originally from Martin, Tennessee and has attended Southeastern Illinois College, majoring in Game Preserve and Shooting Complex Mgmt. WB Ranch has given Blake his first opportunities in guiding hunts and shooting instruction, though he has hunted and shot clay birds most of his life while growing up. Blake said he loves living on the ranch but especially enjoys guiding hunts and being outside. Blake is also a NSCA level I Shooting Instructor and says one of his biggest thrills is taking a novice shooter and leading them to hit their first clay bird. | | Team Building | | | | | Spring Events  Spring is coming quickly and WB Ranch encourages you to start thinking about experiencing our many outdoor activities and team builders. ~Rocket Building
