In[Focus] 2016

We will provide transportation to and from the ranch on chartered buses. The buses will pick us up in the morning from The Menger Hotel, drop us off at the ranch, the busses will leave the property and then return to bring us back to The Menger Hotel.

We will be headed to the Rio Cibolo Ranch.  We have partnered with the ranch and will be creating 2 films for them during the hands on classes!

The first video will be about their property as a wedding venue. They have 6 different, stunning, wedding ceremony locations and several great options for receptions.

The second film will be an overview of the ranch and what it includes. In 1987, Marjie (who has authored two cookbooks) and Henry Christopher purchased the ranch and have made many improvements to it to accommodate very large events, including a bull riding stadium. Their son Craig is the general manager.
