The World’s Smallest Stallion Visits Emerald Desert RV Resort

By sunland | Published February 22nd, 2012

Although he’s grown a bit since he first entered the world, he continues to amaze people including the guests at Emerald Desert RV Resort. The owners of this miniature horse, Einstein, known as the”World’s smallest Stallion,”  stayed at Emerald for a month. The horse is a true “ambassador. “ The horse visited the resort for only one day as he stayed at a local horse barn. Still, a day was plenty of time to win the  guests’ affections. They absolutely loved having him there! Beyond dazzling the Sunland RV Resorts visitors, Einstein had dazzled America through his numerous media appearances. He has been on The View,  Oprah, in People Magazine and other publications.

The Brazilian Carnival celebrations at the Golden Village Palms RV Resort was a great hit and nobody knows better than Paul Turner, snowbird from Calgary British Columbia. He walked away with a full belly of Brazilian food, wet his whistle with Carpirinhas, AND took home a round trip ticket to Brazil, courtesy of Copa Airlines.

We do love our Canadian guests but, no favoritism here, this one just got lucky. Everyone who paid for this event was entered to win this festive flight. We’re certain our resort guests are still raving about the event from their slideout couches to Facebook (Click there to enter to win more prizes!).

Golden Village Palms RV Gives Back to Community Care Takers

By sunland | Published January 24th, 2012

Earlier this month, Golden Village Palms had our Emergency Personal Appreciation Breakfast. Forty-eight Hemet public service professionals visited the property from varying city departments including Fire, Police & Ambulance crews.  The city employees and care takers of Hemet and the Golden Village Palms community were joined by  with 100 GVP guests.

The front of the club house was  packed full with police cars, motorcycles, undercover cars, swat, fire trucks, and ambulances. Our honored guests really enjoyed and appreciated the breakfast, where they got a chance to meet and interact with other public service professionals. Many of the emergency personnel had never been to the resort before and were just amazed at the oasis and the amenities that resort has. The event was such a success that some officials suggested they come out in the future to hold safety meetings with our guests. We think it’s a brilliant idea! Below are some photos of the event attendees and a very cordial thank you letter from the Police Department.

It was a great feel good day at the resort but the funny thing is, no matter how much we tried to promote and give the guests prior notice of the event, there was a rush of phone calls and bystanders wanting to know what happened. It was nice to report it was just a good time had by all.

In another good turn of events, Golden Village Palms hosted a their Annual January Hospice fundraising event.  The theme was Hospice a Sure Bet. The event was hosted by Lynne Anderson and Pat Crocket of Golden Village Palms.  A lunch of crab salad on croissant was served while guest perused a silent auction of items donated by guests. A fashion show was also held featuring the GVP ladies modeling items they purchased from second hand stores.It always amazing how classy and beautiful our guests are in their bargain items.

200 Village Palms ladies attended and $1000.00 was raised along with a large collection of items to be donated to the Hospice thrift store.  The annual event was an annual success and we look forward to hosting it again next year.

As an exhibitor, the Sunland team is excited to meet, gather feedback, and educate Sunland newbies about its resorts’ many draws, including warm weather, poolside lounging, and entertainment options.

In addition to hosting an exhibit at the rally, Sunland RV has partnered with the AlfaSeeYas, a chapter of FMCA, to host a pre-rally camp and caravan package to the event.
