Adolf,
We have run a "Winter Discover Series" at Colonial Williamsburg for four
years, offering three programs a day, five days a week. For the past two
years we have tried thematic weeks with great success. The thematic weeks
make it easier to promote to out-of-towners. I will send along our
brochure. You may also call @ 804-220-7126. Virginia, USA.
