2 . As the coronavirus pandemic has interrupted holiday events, some parks have not been allowed to open. A surprising number of parks, however, will be open to celebrate the holidays with twinkling-lights-filled special events.
Be aware that because of limited capacity to accommodate social distancing, most parks require visitors to make reservations. It goes without saying that in these uncertain times events may change with evolving conditions, so check with the parks for the latest details.

More than 5 million lights illuminate（照亮）nearly every building and tree through-out Dolly Parton’s park in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. And as you might expect, Dollywood features lots of holiday-themed shows and performances. The highlight is“Christmas in the Smokies”, an impressive production that is a tradition at the park. It is being presented indoors at Dolly Parton’s Celebrity Theater, although groups are being seated separately, and the audience capacity is reduced by about 50%. “Everybody needs a little light this Christmas,” says Pete Owens, VP of marketing and public relations.

| MEMORANDUM (备忘录) To: All members of the sales department From: Annette Derringer Re: Year-end party Date: November 26 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is just a quick note to let you all know the arrangements for next month’s year-end party. As you know, the party will be held at the Green Vale Country Club, which we have reserved between 7:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. on the evening of December 21st. I’ve received replies from almost all of you confirming attendance, but if you haven’t let me know yet, please do so in the next day or two. Tickets for all employees have been covered by the company. The Green Vale manager has asked me to explain one or two things to those of you who have not been there before. Basically, there is sufficient parking space for only 100 vehicles, so they would like to ask those of you planning to drive, try to car-pool as much as possible. Also, the number of lockers available is small, so guests should try to keep belongings to a minimum. Thanks in advance, Annette |
| To: Annette Derringer aderringer@belway.com From: Kyle Berwick Date: Nov 28 Subject: Year-end party ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Annette, This is to let you know that I will be able to attend the year-end party at the Green Vale Country Club on the 21st although I don’t think I will be able to arrive before 8:30. I was wondering if it would also be possible to bring a couple of guests. I know it is a bit of a last minute request, but my brother and his wife are planning to visit us at that time, and I know they’d love to see the Green Vale. If it is not a problem, then can you let me know how much I should pay for their tickets? Also, assuming this is OK, I was planning to drive down in a single car, to reduce the need for parking and also to allow us to keep our belongings in the car. I have a couple of days off before the party, but I’ll be in my office until the 17th, so could you get back to me before then? Thanks a lot, Kyle |
