The search continues for the ninth and final missing tuber, 35-year-old Teresa Villano.

The resort announced that every Saturday until the end of February, they’ll turn on the lights and the tubing slopes will stay open until 6:30 p.m.Staff said they tried this out earlier this month and it was a huge hit with guests. “Guests who have come for tubing in the past it’s always been during the daylight hours and now with the evening hours we’re able to turn the lights on, it’s a little bit different experience, a little bit more fun and just really kind of a great way to end the day,” said Lynn Swann from Omni Homestead.
