Cedar Shore Resort

New Years Eve 2011

2012-02-03T13:47:00.003-06:00

Once again, Deuces Wild Dueling Pianos put on a great show for a great crowd!

This year was a blast! We were blessed with fantastic weather that allowed many to travel and have a good time for NYE!

Cedar Shore had great specials and buffet offered in the Bridges Restaurant for those attending the show, or for those that just came to enjoy a good and relaxed meal/evening on New Years.

We hope 2012 will bring us the same great crowd, and the same great weather! Cheers to all of you in the year 2012!

Surviving the Flood 2011

2012-02-03T13:30:00.003-06:00

Well along with many other businesses and homes, Cedar Shore survived the flood!

With the high water, it was difficult to watch a few of our campground sites disappear under water, our marina taking boats out, and the breakwater, walk ramps to the marina, sidewalks, roads and parking lot being swallowed up by water.

However, with several days of clean-up, we are looking back with confidence knowing that we survived and are grateful that Cedar Shore could still run successful business. We thank all the staff and community volunteers that helped us prepare and sandbag areas around the Resort.

2011 Weddings

2012-02-03T13:21:00.003-06:00

This year's highlight was a wedding that was from our own Cedar Shore family! We were happy to see Jenny and Brock DuFrain tie the knot and throw a great party afterwards to celebrate in the Bridges Conference Center!

We remained busy with several weddings in 2011. We still continue to do outdoor weddings overlooking the beautiful Missouri River and we always love to see all the diversity in wedding ideas/decorations that come during the year.

In 2012, we have even more weddings than last year, showing that we have 19 weddings booked! We are very excited and still have a couple openings for those that still need to book a venue!

Congrats to those that were married in 2011, and best wishes to all of the engaged couples preparing for the big day in 2012!

New Years Eve at Cedar Shore Resort

2009-12-02T13:34:00.004-06:00

Laughter explodes this New Year's Eve at Cedar Shore Resort. Join us for a comedy blast December 31, 2009 from 9:45 pm to midnight as comedian Paul LaKamp opens for headlining comedy act John DeBoer.

Tickets are $20 advance, $25 at the door. Package price includes one night stay at the hotel, dinner for two, two tickets to the comedy show and are $149.95 for a hillside room and $169.95 for a riverside room.

John's Bio: It has been said, there are only two ways you can go in life after making a mistake. Learn from it and move on or don’t learn from it and and stay where you are. John DeBoer has chosen a third route: Write a joke about it and share it with the masses.
His nerve-hitting show flows from the devious side of childhood to the never-ending pressures of our times. His twisted observations of life, the world around him, and particularly how he has managed to screw it up, have earned John a reputation as one of the most consistently strong acts wherever he goes.

Watching John on stage takes the audience on a roller coaster of seeing their own blunders or faux pas’, and then being compelled to laugh at them. Falling somewhere between "The Next John DeBoer of Comedy", and "the best you can do on short notice", he takes us on a ride we’ve all been on, yet somehow failed to see the humor in the first time through.
With the seemingly limitless media choices these days, you have to be pretty big to be a household name. Having appeared at comedy clubs, colleges, three federal penitentiaries, the Daytona 500 Experience, as well as on Comedy Central, and in national TV commercials, and a brief (very brief, yet heartwarming) shot on Last Comic Standing, John DeBoer might be the funniest comedian you never heard of.

John's opening act, Paul LaKamp: If you think you've had your share of bad days, come spend a night with Paul LaKamp. From a kid with potential on the West Coast to being a pizza delivery man in the Midwest, Paul can only describe his life as one endless revolving door of a bad day. Most people, which Paul is not, move west for stardom. Paul moved east for stardom. His debut was made with a semi-finalist finish in the Funniest Person in the Twin Cities contest and he's been delivering therapy sessions to audiences, in the form of his own every day problems ever since. He will enlighten your life with the absurdity of his own and have you laughing for more. Come see Paul before his luck changes!

Oh the fun we had at Ladies Great Escape!!!!

2009-04-02T11:11:00.020-05:00

The Cedar Shore Annual Ladies Great Escape was held last weekend, and boy did we have fun!!!

We are pretty sure from the amount of dancing, hollering, and shopping that everyone else did too!!! We started it off Friday night with our pajama party. Every 15 minutes we gave out door prizes. Chelsea's Boutique began rocking the night with a fun, exciting fashion show. Full of energy, the girls modeled the newest fashions for the PJ Party attendees.

The Golden Girls bounced on stage next and gave a hilarious performance. The ladies then made a bee line to the conference center where most of the vendors had set up early for "One Hour of Shopping in your PJ's". Thanks for the sneak peek!

After settling back in, "Elvis" made the ladies swoon by singing many favorites and dancing with several of the girls!

The night ended (with our planned activities anyway) with karaoke and guitar Hero.

Saturday was a day filled with shopping and speakers. The exhibit hall opened at 9 am for shopping and Continental breakfast. We were so very fortunate to have Julie Clark, founder of the Inspirational Coffee Club, as our main speaker. Thanks to Sanford Health for sponsoring her!! Her warm nature was comforting yet motivational, and she gave us all some great in site on living your life to the fullest.

Doctors from Sanford Health were gracious enough to do panel discussions, answering any questions the ladies had about women's' health, vascular health, and cardiology. Not only did it provide us a chance to get to know these doctors better, but we also got advice...for free!!

Near the end of the day, we awarded and amazing 60 door prizes donated by the vendors, and the grand prize of a set of chocolate pearl earrings and matching necklace donated by Riddles Jewelry of Sioux Falls.

Thanks to Budweiser Sales and Republic Beverage, the day was ended with free beer and wine samples....yum!!!! Thanks Boys!!!

Governor's Conference on Tourism

2009-01-26T16:36:00.001-06:00

Last week a few of us from Cedar Shore had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Governor's Conference on Tourism. In Governor Round's speech, he was happy to report that although the economy in general is down, South Dakota Tourism was up last year.
We had speakers on various topics such as customer service, marketing, and "going green"; we took away several ideas which we plan on implementing here at the resort. In fact, we are remodeling our guest rooms, and rather than throwing the used carpet in the land fill, are "recycling" it.
We are also proud to announce that Cedar Shore Resort was a finalist for the George S. Mickelson Great Service Award, which honors a business or organization that has taken hospitality to the next level.

River City Racin'

2008-09-17T10:30:00.000-05:00

This year we had the wonderful experience of being host to the 1st River City Racin' Hydroplane Boat Races. Although the Missouri River is the perfect place for such an event, it was the first of its kind, and a totally new experience for most.

The racing began Saturday, July 12 with qualifying races. In conjunction with the races, there was also a car show, vintage boats, custom motorcycles, kids inflatable jumpers, quick draw shooting, food vendors, and other various vendors. The action continued Sunday with the finals. A Corey and the Fireflies concert was held after the races.

Next years races will be held July 11 & 12 2009. So make plans now to attend the Midwest's only major water event! Cedar Shore reservations 888-697-6363

Visit the River City Racin' website for more info on the wonderful event they put on.

Family Cup - Labor Day

2008-09-05T10:31:00.000-05:00

And the winner is......The Cawthorne Family!

This year we hosted our 3rd Annual Family Cup Labor Day Weekend. Eight families competed in Cedar Shore's version of Olympic Games. The teams were required to have two team members 12 years old or younger; various contestants participated in eight different games.

Many hours were spent trying to think of some fun and interesting games, and we think everyone had a pretty good time, despite the windy conditions! (30-40 mph!)

This event is always held Labor Day weekend, so be thinking about planning your family vacation to Cedar Shore Resort at that time.

I will let the pictures tell you about our games.......

River Kids Fest

2008-09-05T09:19:00.000-05:00

We had so much fun at River Kids Fest. This is always held the second weekend in August (Aug. 9th this year). Our Recreational Intern, Ida VandeWalle, organized the events with help with the rest of our office staff. She brought in something new this year, Stackers. The children, (and even some of us adults) were fascinated in how fast our demonstrators could stack and unstack those cups!

This year, our biggest hits seemed to be the characters that visited the resort. Sponge Bob Square Pants handed out finger printing kits, Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head danced around while the kids made their own potato heads, and, last, but not least, "Hannah Montana" passed out ice cream treats to all the kids. You should have heard the screams when "Hannah" walked out onto the yard! Parents got out the cameras to take pictures of their children with all the characters. It was a lot of fun!

We had an inflatable bouncer and an inflatable water slide which was another big hit. I know from personal experience, that it was a blast!

Xtreme Cheerleading put on a mini camp, and the girls performed at the end. It was really cute!

We had too many fun things to write about each, but here is a list of some other things we did: water balloon target launch; tattoo parlor; story time; crafts; free paddle boats; police car, fire truck, and ambulance tours; mini train rides, Freddy the Clown made animals balloons, and face painting! Of course we had our Waterfront Buffet along with our regular deck menu for outside dining. The South Hand Band played on the deck, and young and old danced away.

This really is a wonderful event as almost everything is FREE!!! (thanks Modern Woodmen, The Cozard Library & the local emergency crews) Where else can you have so much fun with your children close to home!

Same weekend next year! See you there!

4th of July Festivities

2008-09-04T14:50:00.000-05:00

I know, I know, it is looming into fall, summer is over, but I though I'd share some pictures from our Fourth of July weekend 2008.

We had bands on the deck that weekend and kids games on the lawn Thursday.

Our frog races, didn't quite evolve, as they were tadpoles, so we raced them in the minnow tracks, and the kids thought it was really neat. Kids and parents alike loved the kiddie parade, which gave the children a chance to dress up and parade around the resort. They were so cute!

Cedar Shore Resort really is a great place to come spend the weekend with the family fishing from the banks of the Missouri River, out on the boat, or just relaxing around the resort and pool.

Enjoy!
