Musings from Sun Meadow 4-7-21
Mid-April Greetings from Sun Meadow
Spring has sprung, the grass is riz. I wonder where the flowers is.
Despite the fact that we’ve started getting vaccinated, there are still a lot of guests who have not yet gotten the shot. We mask up to protect them. These are Sun Meadow’s COVID protection measures:
We require masks covering nose and mouth in the lodge. All our activities include 6’ social distancing. This includes the dining room, and means we have a reduced capacity. In addition, we are limited to 10 people in any gathering at a time. We don’t see this as a problem in the off-season.
Mike, Terri, and Margie are wearing masks to protect you. We hope you will afford us the same level of protection.

3. Concert Outlook
Things are looking up for concerts! Artists are anxious to perform, and we are anxious to present! We’re currently working to find an artist for Memorial Day weekend. We have two confirmed for Skin to the Wind. We’ll follow CDC guidelines for concerts. If we still can’t have indoor events, we’ll put the artists out in the gazebo, since that worked out so well last year.
4. July 8-11: Skin to the Wind Festival of Fun
The annual Skin to the Wind Festival will be July 8-11. The Skin to the Wind Festival is always on the second weekend of July, because that is National N**e Weekend. We have two concerts so far: Champagne Sunday for Thursday, July 8, and Kray van Kirk is confirmed for Friday, July 9. We’ll keep working on it! This year happens also to be the 90th anniversary of AANR (the AANR-versary!), and we’re making plans to celebrate that as well.
We’ve had an email request for more information. One of the questions was regarding the venue. That’s one we can answer easily - the Festival is here at Sun Meadow resort. If we’re still social distancing, the concerts and the dance will be outside. We know we can have pickleball and bocce and horseshoes and shuffleboard. We’re hoping to have Nine Square in the Air and volleyball as well. Maybe even water balloon volleyball. We’ll have s’mores and singing around the fire, and games if we’re able to. This will depend on the CDC guidelines by the time we get to July, but we are optimistic.
Of course we’ll have hot breakfast and dinner every day, and the snack bar will be open at lunch. We’ll work out the schedule for sports and games, as well as the menu, as the summer progress-es. We can tell you that the concerts and the dance will begin at 8 PM.
