We had a successful year in the Food & Beverage/Banquets department! We hosted a wide variety of events including a night of the Food & Wine Festival, our first large corporate event at Dobson in several years and several golf tournament dinners. Our overall sales grew in the event department by over 20%. In the Grill on the Gore restaurant, our sales grew in addition to improved guest service scores. We sold over 400 cocktails from the bar that utilized ingredients from our house garden.

Additionally, being able to have the beverage cart out on the course from the beginning of the season was a win for us!

We hosted several large-scale events in Dobson Arena that have not been held in several years such as: Project Funway, several large Hispanic dances and Vail Yeti games.

Staff Additions

We added a year-round Banquets Manager, Adrienne Chavez, as well as a year-round Concessions Manager, Shane Bowman.
