Ben Lerman and
The Ukelear Meltdown Tour
(and Your Butt)
Ben is our favorite gay, ukelele-playing, singing comic from NYC. No, that is not a backhanded compliment. Jayson had slept with several gay, ukelele-playing, singing comic from NYC even before we met Ben. Ben is currently on a nation-wide tour, and this is his Pocono stop.
Saturday is a full moon (okay, strictly speaking, Friday is the full moon), so we're having a Full Moon Party and a - you guessed it! - Full Moon Contest (okay, strictly speaking it's a Best Buns Contest). Just be here, in your tightie-whities, ready to drop trou.

July 25-27
Kierra Darshall
and Santa
We are delighted to welcome back Pittsburgh's Premiere Female Impersonator, Kierra Darshall, for an evening of classy, classic drag. Miss Darshall channels a number of one-named divas: Diana, Tina, Whitney...
Saturday, we empty the closets (bet you didn’t think we even had closets on Rainbow Mountain ) and celebrate Christmas in July. We take out the Christmas decorations and a ton of giveaways we’ve been storing up just for you. Santa will be here for photos; but, be warned, we’re more into naughty than nice.

August 1-3
Regina Sayles
and You in Your Undies
The weekend starts off with eveyone's favorite lesbian rocker and all-around good-time-girl Regina Sayles.
(And we're gonna try and steal the great hat.)
Saturday is yet another lame excuse to coax you out of your pants. If you check your clothes at the door, you get a free pair of RMR undies - suitable for framing, wearing, trading, selling on eBay, or (most likely) leaving at the Hot Tub later. But not until you've entered our Sexiest RMR Undies Contest.

August 8-10
Brad Loekle
in a Toga
Fire Island Comic-in-Residence Brad Loekle headlines in the Nightclub on Friday (the remainder of the weekend, he just gives head).
Saturday, we take you back to your fraternitiy and sorority days for a Toga Party (toga, Toga, TOGA). We supply the togas (okay, we supply clean sheets and safety pins) and cheap beer and straight music (like "Shout!" and "YMCA" - YMCA is a straight song?), You just come and get hammered. Also, since we've got you half-naked anyway, join in the Best Torso Contest (by that time, you will have consumed a six-pack; now, show us your six-pack).

August 15-17
Miss Olivia's Annual FACT Fundraising Drag Show
and Best Legs
(no, not Miss O's legs)
The old girl returns for the gazillionth time to, once again, raise money for our favorite non-profit F.A.C.T. (Fighting Aids Continuously Together). The show starts at 11 pm and a $5 donation is suggested. Miss O promises fun and prizes and great entertainment.
Saturday, it really is another full moon, and yet another opportunity to have a Full Moon Party. Tonight, the focus is on your legs. So make certain the seam on the back of your panty hose is straight and strut your stuff.

August 22-24
Vanessa Hollingshead
and
Guest DJ Michael DeCero
"The Gays love this woman!" Who would write that?
Anyway, we are delighted to welcome Vanessa, who has been described as a "Kathy Griffin wanna-be". Huh? Would that make her a Z-lister?
Philly's BEST DJ Michael DeCero joins us on Saturday night. He has played EVERYWHERE! And, this night, he plays at RMR!

Labor Day Weekend
August 29 - September 1
Certainly, there are those who would have your believe that the above poster is all you need to know about Labor Day Weekend. That the entertainment spectacle, that is a Carol Ann and Heaven Leigh production is sufficient to more than satisfy your every craving over the entire holiday weekend. Not to worry, those folks can't touch Amanda - mainly because their swollen heads can't get through the double-doorway that leads to Amanda's drawing (and writing) room.
Assuming the weather is pleasant and assuming our premiere attempt at Poolside Karaoke on the first evening of the July Fourth Weekend is not a catastrophe, we will be back for another evening of "stars singing under the stars". Perchance a contest, where contestants found unworthy to continue will be dragged into the pool by the "big hook". Hmmm.
Saturday evening, it's a Luau Party with free stuff for folks brave enough to sport a loud Hawaiian shirt (are there any Hawaiian shirts that aren't loud?). And, since you've been working on that tan all summer, our Best Tan and Tan Line Contest. It used to be a Best Tan Line Contest, but we don't want to miss out on seeing those folks who choose to pursue and all-over tan. The only question puzzling the judges: We know where a tan line starts and stops, but how much skin does someone with an all-over tan have to expose?
Trumpets blaring in the background.
Much pomp, much circumstance.
(Much ado about nothing.)
The eagerly awaited (by their bill collectors) return of Carol Ann and Heaven Leigh in an all-new, all-live, first-ever sequel (or "sequal", if you believe the poster). Return with me to a simpler time, when Alice and Emily learn that their beloved Double Cup Diner is to be no more. Do they give up? Do they fade away into the abyss that swallows so many marginal wait staff (and drag queens)? Nay, nay. They return in
Bottom of the Barrel
Amanda is not at liberty to disclose any details regarding the extravaganza, other than to note that all the speaking will be LIVE, all the dancing will be LIVE, all the singing will be LIVE! And the show is ALL-NEW!
CA & HL ain't no lip-syncin' drag queens and they don't recycle old stuff. (Okay, okay, perhaps one or two of their wigs has seen a better day, year?, decade? century?)

FACT Summer Games
September 5-7
We can't tell you how pleased we are that our good friends from FACT will be at Rainbow Mountain again, for their 23rd Annual FACT Summer Games. We especially like a great party with lots of fun - all for a good cause. (It makes Amanda fell honorable about drinking in the early afternoon; okay, late morning and early afternoon.)
Friday, we'll kick it off with a drag show in the Dance Club. We are still negotiating with the performer, but will let you know as soon as the mascara on the contract has dried.
Saturday, it's our annual Limbo Contest. The winner gets two tickets to Sunday's games and the honor and privilege of representing the Mountain in the Limbo Contest at Sunday's games. (Amanda's tongue is planted so firmly in her cheek, she fears it will pop through. Then, she recalls that lots of things have bumped into that cheek, and none have ever popped through.)
Sunday, it's THE GAMES. It officially starts at 12:30 pm, but folks start arriving and milling around considerably earlier. The afternoon will be filled with team competitions, non-stop entertainment, great food, vendors and games.
The pool, pool deck and pool bar will still be open. And the rates will have switched back to fall rates.
A great cause, a great party, off-season rates and one last day at the Pool - it's a win-win-win-win!

Whitewater Rafting
September 12-14
The deal is the same as our inaugural outing last September, except we're going two weeks earlier - so the water is a tad warmer if (okay, when) we fall in. Once again we've chosen a dam release day, so class III rapids are guaranteed. The trip is included with every two-night stay in the Cherry House, Deluxe or any Cabin. Folks who stay in the Lodge, and any local guests, can purchase the trip separately.
The Lehigh River Gorge is surrounded by state park protected woodlands and mountains. There are 12 miles and 5 hours of Class III whitewater rafting and outstanding scenery to enjoy. This is a fun, thrilling, and pristine trip that everyone can do…no experience necessary! While paddling over 17 rapids you’ll scream, laugh, swim, and have an excellent day.
We car caravan to Pocono Whitewater, which is approximately 1 hour away; then, take the shuttle to the river. All necessary rafting equipment, life jacket, insurance, parking, shuttle service to and from the river and experienced river guides are included. And Rainbow Mountain packs your lunch and beverages (now if we can only figure out how to keep our lunch in the raft).
We have to buy the tickets two weeks in advance, so we ask that you make your reservations early.
There will be entertainment on Friday in the Nightclub. We are so close, it almost hurts Amanda that she can't share the info.
And Saturday, it's our best bruise contest (not that anyone will really get bruised on our trip).

Men's Fetish Weekend
September 26-28
The first weekend of fall. The weather should be a little cooler. The perfect opportunity to don the leather or the uniform or the kilt or the...
Friday night, it's our Sleaziest Karaoke Contest. It's not about talent. It's about presentation. It's not about performance. It's about potential. Winner gets to be the first in the sling.
Speaking of sling, our equipped Hospitality Suite will be open 24/7 - with videos, sling, St. Andrew's Cross, wall of glory holes and soda (you can always say you're there because you're thirsty).
Thirsty? Amanda suspects you'll swallow more than your share of water in the Hot Tub, what with all the time you'll spend under water with your mouth open. Thirsty? Yes,
the watersports area will be open. And the Sauna; don't forget the Sauna.
Saturday night, it's a Wear Your Fetish Party and Contest.
What? That's not the kind of watersports you were thinking about?
