Add up all there is to do at French Lick Resort this summer and you will find over 1,000 different experiences to keep you busy all season long. Big name entertainers like Clint Black (May 30), Lee Ann Rimes (June 19) Lyle Lovett (July 18), Kenny G (August 22) and Ron White (November 7) are just the beginning. There are golf academies, slot tournaments, a country band competition, exotic and classic car shows, Culinary Classics weekends, a BBQ weekend and even a Vintage Base Ball World Series.
New this year for families is chuck wagon dinners at the ranch. Parents can round up the whole family and enjoy a hay wagon ride up to the ranch where everyone will be entertained by a real cowboy band, enjoy a cookout and a sing-a-along around the campfire. Families can also take advantage of the all amenities around the resort including horseback riding, carriage rides, golf, bowling, tennis, croquet, horseshoes, basketball, volleyball, swimming or hiking and biking.
The resort's KidsFest program, which began just a year ago, was such a big hit that we have decided to offer experiences for teens as well. TeenVentures will begin on May 27 and will include an extensive line of activities for 13-17 year olds. Teens will have the opportunity to experience "Geocatching", "Digital Photography", "Sketching/Acrylics" and much more. There are also some new additions to KidsFest, for ages 6-12, such as "Kid Cooks", "KidsZoo", "KidTales" and "Lyrics Alive". A detailed schedule is below.
