According to Inc. magazine Sundance Vacations is the fastest growing travel company in Pennsylvania for 2011.  Sundance Vacations official ranking on the Inc. 500/5000 fastest growing company list was released last week.  The company improved its national rank to 2,917.  This is the third consecutive year that Sundance Vacations has earned a spot on the list which is quite an achievement for any company notwithstanding the current market conditions.  The company’s three year average growth rate was 72%. 

Sundance Vacations President calls the award “bittersweet” citing the economy for what he considers “mediocre” performance. Even though the company is not completely satisfied with its three year growth rate employees are extremely optimistic about the positioning of the company as the recession lifts.

The full news release has been published on the Sundance Vacations Newsroom.

On September 1^st, Valerie white was selected to receive a $100 in Free Play at Party on the Patio. Sundance Vacations has been trying to reach out to her by leaving messages on her cell phone to pick up her prize ever since. After a reasonable time of no response from Valerie, we became very worried and decided to send her a letter. She received our letter and returned our call immediately upon receipt! Apparently, something happened to Valerie’s cell phone and she was not receiving any of her messages. Then she was affected by the recent flooding and left without power for several days. As she just so happened to be headed back to the Mohegan Sun @ Pocono Downs today she was able to swing by the Sundance Vacations office located in Wilkes-Barre PA directly across from the Mohegan Sun Arena.

Valerie was very excited when she picked up her prize. She mentioned that the funny part was that she had to leave the Party on the Patio earlier than planned, and while walking to her car as she left the casino, she exclaimed, “I just filled out that entry form with Sundance Vacations and watch me be the winner! I won’t be here to hear them announce my name!” Well, Valerie, you were correct……. you were the winner! Congratulations and Enjoy!

September 1st was the last Thursday night to hang out at the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs with your friends from Sundance Vacations at the Party on the Patio.  The tribute band honoring Garth Brooks -“Fresh Horses” had everyone singing and dancing under the stars. At the commencement of the show, Sundance Vacations randomly selected and announced the evening’s $100 Free Play winner.

Congratulations to Valerie White from Nicholson, PA !  We are still waiting to hear back to see when Valerie can pick up her generous prize!

Then the Party on the Patio’s grand finale was held on Sunday 9/4 to wrap up the summer show series with the spectacular and energetic Michael Jackson Tribute Band, “Who’s Bad”. Many people MOON WALKED over to the Sundance Vacations booth to register for $100 in free play for the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs before the show. Following “Who’s Bad”, Sundance Vacations proudly announced on stage the last lucky Party on the Patio winner for the season.

Congratulations to Dorothy Sikora from Larksville, Pa! Dorothy received her prize immediately following the last set, just before the spectacular firework display!

Sundance Vacations was able to excite the crowd once again at the Party on the Patio at the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs on Thursday August 25th with another Sundance Vacations fabulous giveaway.  The talented tribute band honoring Fleetwood Mac – “Fleetwood Macked”, entertained everyone throughout the evening. And at the end of the concert, Sundance Vacations randomly selected a $100 Free Play winner.

Congratulations to Lynda Cartier from Nescopeck, PA! Lynda picked up her wonderful prize at Sundance Vacations in Wilkes-Barre, Pa on Highland Park Blvd, across from the Mohegan Sun Arena just in time to kick off the long Labor Day weekend. When contacted, Lynda Cartier was surprised and exclaimed, “You have made me so happy!” She was all smiles as she posed for a quick photo waving her $100 free play voucher in her hand. Sundance Vacations is very happy to have put a few extra bucks in Lynda’s pocket for the holiday!
