Do you have any special packages planned for the off season?

Oh and the other place has all sorts of food from mahi mahi fish tacos to wood fired pizza.
Pinball and pizza go well together, but i want the billiards to be included somehow, or i can highlight it int the text.
 
Pinball Wizard Getaway. The first thing that came into my head when reading this was "he sure plays a mean pinball" with the tume playing in my head. Thank you - now it will be there all day.
Then how about Pinball-Cue Ball Wizard Getaway or Pin & Cue Ball Wizard Getaway or Getaway of the Balls? Guess not.
 
I usually do not get enough snow to do a cross-country ski package even though the rail-trail would be perfect for it. Then when I DO get snow, we are usually buried and no one can get there. Too gar from ski areas and a lot of things close after the Christmas Bazaars are over if not before.
 
I've seen murder mystery weekends on some sites. Has anyone here had success with that?

The inn my dad worked at when I was a kid did them. It was the place to go for movie stars during that era even though it wasn't a ritz place, just a country inn in a sleepy village… now three owners later, its focus is weddings and special events. A B&B in the same town as our B&B does murder mystery weekends during the fall and winter months with actors from a firm. It looks like its doing well and the innkeepers own two B&Bs to house their guests.

I've tried promoting them on the site and through social media for 2 years but have yet to have a single taker.
 
One of the B&Bs in a neighbouring town has been doing them in our off season. So popular she has a waiting list. She wasn't planning on doing any in the new year but it's proved so popular, she's considering it. Now mind you, we're about an hour from a large city, so it's a weekend getaway with entertainment.
 
these are always super popular here - http://www.amba-hotel.com/hotels/united_kingdom/london/charing_cross/hotel_offers/faulty_towers_the_dining_experience_.html
the same theatre company also does Father Ted which is also well received - i would say though they also sell it through the Theatre Web site as well as through the hotel direct so you don't have to be a resident guest to make up the numbers. its a dinner and entertainment package.
