COACH TRIPS WITH TONYA

Winter in Yellowstone | January 19-25, 2026
The tour company says we can still take reservations until November 10. Explore the sparkle of our Nation's First National Park. The wonders of Yellowstone have never felt so close. Under feet of snow, the roads remain off-limits to private vehicles, allowing for a uniquely intimate experience with nature from the warmth of your heated snow coach. The animals of Yellowstone are much easier to see in the winter. The average temperature in January is 24 degrees. But the coaches are nice and warm. Price starts at $3,897. Brochures available in the office. Cost includes airfare, 12 meals and all gratuities. This trip is a level 2.

Radio noir comedy brings 1940s detective drama; Prelude performance by One Voice

MEDIA RELEASE__Step back into the golden age of radio with Sam Shovel, Private Eye: Tailor Made for Murder, a hilarious and suspenseful radio noir comedy performed live before a studio audience. This tongue-in-cheek homage to 1940s detective dramas promises mystery, mayhem, and plenty of laughs—complete with onstage sound effects, witty wordplay, and vintage flair.

Set in the smoky world of trench coats, dimly lit alleys and dames with dangerous secrets, Tailor Made for Murder follows hard-boiled detective Sam Shovel as she unravels a case stitched together with double-crosses, sharp suits, and a few too many loose threads. But this isn’t just any detective story—it’s radio theatre done the old-fashioned way, with the audience right there in on the fun.

Performances are Nov. 14 and 15 at 7:00 p.m. on the Bluffton MS Cafetorium stage. General admission seating. Tickets available at the door. Adults $5.00 Students $2.00. Doors open 6:00 p.m.
