HOLIDAY REVUE
Drew Taylor and Gail Luna are thrilled to announce that "A Sharon Springs
Holiday Revue" raised a total of $3730.00 for Klinkhart Hall Arts Center, Inc. We
couldn't have been more thrilled. The support from the community was
overwhelming. Everyone from the many volunteers, crew people to the patrons
who purchased tickets for the performance, all have been so supportive.
Due to the incredible response from the community we have decided to make
this an annual event. The next "A Sharon Springs Holiday Revue" will be held
during next seasons Victorian Holiday, the first weekend in December.

They
can

at

Ketelsen,
a
Master
Gardener
and
an
avid
landscaper,
also
purchased
the
10
acres
across
from
the
Roseboro
to
turn
into
botanical
gardens.
Ketelsen
states
Beauty
attracts,
and
what
is
more
beautiful
than
gardens?
As
the
new
President
of
the
Sharon
Springs
Chamber
of
Commerce,
I
plan
to
boost
tourism
to
the
Sharon
Springs
area,
starting
with
the
Roseboro
Hotel.
An
avid
collector
of
Titanic
memorabilia,
Ketelsen
plans
to
add
a
Titanic
Museum
to
the
2nd
floor
above
the
Ballroom
to
display
his
collection.
I
have
also
secured
the
rights
from
Premier
Exhibitions
who
own
the
merchandising
rights
to
the
Titanic.
That
will
allow
us
to
sell
Titanic
merchandise
in
our
gift
shop,
says
Ketelsen.
While
the
hotel
once
featured
135
guest
rooms,
Ketelsen
only
plans
to
initially
add
approximately
15
luxury
guest
rooms.
There
is
an
entire
3rd
and
4th
floor
if
I
decide
to
add
more
at
a
later
time,
laughs
Ketelsen.
