"After careful consideration and in an abundance of caution, we decided to cancel our show tomorrow (Tuesday) night. We weren’t forced to shut down, but opted to cancel the show just in case the boil order was not removed in time.  We have secured clean drinking water for all of our horses and onsite team members.

"Guests who have tickets for tomorrow night’s dinner and tournament will be rescheduled for future dates or offered a full refund. Our team is currently reaching out to all guests with tickets and will gladly assist them."

Residents are advised to boil any water intended for drinking or cooking for at least five minutes. Water used for cleaning or showering does not require boiling.
