GET WET! With Mark Fuller
“The man who turns ordinary water into extraordinary art.”
That’s what CBS News Sunday Morning called the creator (and creative genius) of WET – Water Entertainment Technologies – the number one creator of water fountains in the world! You’ve seen the Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas, but how about the world’s largest fountain (the Burj Dubai), the new Revson Fountain in New York’s Lincoln Center, the Leapfrog Fountain and Fountain of the Nations at Epcot in Walt Disney World, and more than 200 water features in 22 countries!
WET’s amazing creations have been featured in LA (“Fountain Head”), The New Yorker (“Water Music”) and the CBS Sunday Morning TV show. See WET in action: HERE (click)
Mark will show and tell about WET’s designs, and demonstrate how they do it, in and around the Sklar’s pool. Get your towel and prepare to GET WET!

An Artist's Journey to Walt's and Other Worlds
Benefiting Ryman Arts
Presented by Marty Sklar
Disney Legend and former Executive Vice President and Imagineering Ambassador
Join Marty on a journey through the life and legacy of Herb Ryman and the establishment of Ryman Arts, founded in his honor by six friends, including Walt's daughter Sharon Disney Lund and Marty and Leah Sklar. Herbert D. Ryman (1910-1989) created the first overall illustration of Disneyland, drawing as Walt Disney described his dream for a new kind of family entertainment, and continued to work on every Disney theme park until he died in 1989. Don't miss this rare opportunity to listen to Marty speak about and show Herb Ryman's contributions to key milestones in the history of The Walt Disney Company, including the story of the Disneyland Sleeping Beauty Castle, and Herb's world travels, including his amazing paintings of people and places.
