WINTER BREAK NAMED ONE OF NORTH AMERICA'S TOP
100 EVENTS FOR 2006 Festival for Active Seniors in Laughlin,
Nevada, January 6 to12, 2006 TORONTO: Give me a break! Winter Break, that is
&endash; a festival for the 50-plus age group,
mirroring a typical Spring break for the kids,
relived a few decades later. Winter Break has
received recognition as one of the Top 100 Events
in North America for 2006 by the American Bus
Association (ABA). This is the second consecutive
year that Winter Break has been selected for this
honour, offering excellent entertainment value to
both tour groups and individual travellers from
around the world. Inclusion in the Top 100 list is
published in a supplement to the September issue of
Destinations magazine. This week-long festival gives active seniors a
way to celebrate life without worry, along with
several thousand others! Winter Break gives you a
"Place to Act Your Age &endash; Give or Take 30
Years." Sue Arko, event promoter, says, "The week
will be filled with a variety of events to fill
each participant's day and to take their minds off
the grind of everyday life. Our menu of activities
is designed to marry the memories of high school
and university life with the activities seniors
across the country enjoy now." In 2005, close to 4,000 guests (and a few
hundred Canadians) attended the third annual Winter
Break in Laughlin, Nevada. The website,
www.WinterBreak.us, outlines the number of packages
and has a detailed breakdown of all the events
available for active seniors to participate in,
including a classic car parade, baseball
tournament, chili cook-off, Red Hat Society
meetings, ballroom dancing, singles mixers, writing
workshops, casino tournaments, and so much
more. General admission costs are $39 US (if paid by
December 1, 2005) or $49 US (if paid after December
1, 2005). This fee entitles guests to a full week
of official Winter Break activities. Optional day
tours (to Arizona's Route 66, Oatman, and Lake
Havasu) are also available for a small additional
charge. Winter Break packages, including overnight
in Las Vegas (and transportation to Laughlin),
accommodations, and Winter Break activities range
from $149-235 US, depending on type of package
chosen. For more information on Winter Break 2006 call
