Giveaway Winner for Mother’s Day Lunch Tickets

The winner

Jan and her daughter were kind enough to share their experience at the Tanque Verde Guest Ranch for Mother’s Day on Sunday.

“The food was amazing to say the least. Between the two of us I think we tasted a little of everything,” said Jan. “I ate more shrimp than I have ever eaten before. The salmon and smoked trout were fantastic. And, don’t get me started on the bite size desserts!!! My favorite was the pomegranate tiramisu.”

We’re so glad you had a wonderful experience, Jan!
