Happenings at the Flying R
Greetings from the Flying R Ranch!
We are spotting more and more signs of spring each
day. Leaves are appearing on bushes, spring flowers
are blooming, the grass is growing, animals are
shedding and buds on the trees are ready to burst
open. Eagles who overwinter here have left for their
summer homes. Many more baby animals are being
seen in the fields, forsythias are opening, and pussy
willows are out.
 Many special
activities planned for
2013
Our new chef Chris has joined our team, and we are
now able to serve meals on a regular basis. We
anticipate having the restaurant open Wednesday
through Sunday morning, and will offer both meal

We have recently had campers in from states as far away as
Minnesota and Nebraska,
and each weekend the
campground is busier. All of our guests have been excited to
see the improvements we made this past winter. We are
looking forward to a great 2013 and to seeing old friends
again and meeting many new ones.

Our St. Patrick’s Day Pot of

shamrocks and pots of
gold.

musical entertainment in
the lodge was enjoyed by
all on Saturday evening.
Thanks to all the guests
who participated in the first

Look for Flying R at HorseFest
We had a booth at the 2013
HorseFest held this past
weekend in Springfield,
Missouri. We saw lots of
familiar faces and met
many new friends. Even
though the weather could
have cooperated a bit
more, attendance was
overall good.
Once again we had an
entry box for a drawing for
a free weekend stay for
two people and two horses
at the Flying R Ranch.
The winner of this fantastic
prize will be announced in
April.
