Attention Parents...
Whatever you do (regarding a visit to Dry Gulch), BE FRIENDLY.
Some Yuppie Moms, who couldn't get their kids in, due to a previously
scheduled event, began yelling,  screaming, and acting like morons. It  
made for an embarrassing situation, and sent their little ones into
tears.  Shame on them! The squeaky wheel
never gets the grease here
in the Town Of Dry Gulch!  Every event is pre-scheduled for a
designated block of PRIVATE time.
You must follow one simple rule here...Enter smiling, and depart with
Hugs or Handshakes.
Note: this is a credo taken from the kids
themselves!

Another Mom...
This Mom was also insistent on getting her kids into the Gem Mine.  
When we called her back to confirm the booking arrangements, we got
a lecture on calling her at a decent hour, and not in the middle of the
night... It was 9:30pm!  Please Moms, we do our best to return 'all' calls
between 6:30pm and 9:30pm (and we have ton's of them to make
every evening !)

And Finally...
The most absurd display of  immaturity from a teacher.  
Having scheduled a Field Trip for 'inner city' children from Erie,  a
"United Way" Teacher had a meltdown with the children.  These lil'
munchkins had never even been in the country, let alone explored a
"Gem Mine'. They were inquisitive and carefree as kids should be.  But
before the event was over, and not even a single game had been
played, the teacher grabbed a tiny girl by the arm, and violently jerked
her from the small group of twelve classmates.  She curtly announced
that the little girl just wasn't behaving and they were going to leave.  
Other kids saw the teacher tantrum and began to cry.  They wanted to
stay for the games and prizes, but the two hour block of time was just
too much for the pitiful teacher.
Here's the rule Miss Teach:  If you can't handle twelve children for two
hours, you might want to re-think your career choice, as there are an
abundance of jobs open in the fast food industry!

NOTE:  A visit to "Dry Gulch" equals a lasting childhood memory... In a world
that is often filled with bad memories, it is incumbent upon the moms, and teachers
to help make this enchanting experience, one of the
fond memories!
