With Regard to Groupon From our COO/Director of Operations:

To our guests, both old and new:

Recently, we had someone threaten to give us a bad review because they didn't understand our Groupon Policy. Our Groupon policy is a contract with Groupon and, simply put, states that you can not use a Groupon the same day you purchase it for Sharkarosa.

This policy is reiterated on all of our social media, our website, our front gate and our ticket window. Primarily it is on the Groupon site listed in the fine print which should be read prior to purchase.

We appreciate your continued support of the ranch. Please understand our staff is simply doing their jobs and following the protocol set up with Groupon.

With humble gratitude-

Nancy J. Gorman,

Director of Operations/Chief Operating Officer
