Good Morning!
It is a nice calm morning here at the Baldpate with the exception of the Hummingbirds that are already out and about. 

Today for lunch and dinner we will be serving Corn Chowder and White Chili soup along with Oatmeal Blueberry and Peanut Butter muffins.  We will also be serving our famous Corn Bread as well as Honey Wheat Bread.  How does a warm slice of homemade pie with ice cream on top sound?  We have an assortment of pie flavors that will surely hit the spot!

Summer Enchanted Evening on Wednesday, August 25, 2010
Anyone with an interest in Rocky Mountain National Park, butterflies, or early science and scientific expeditions will enjoy this evening‘s program at the Baldpate Inn, part of the Baldpate‘s continuing “Summer Enchanted Evenings” lecture series. Rich Bray, coordinator of the Rocky Mountain National Park Butterfly Project, will explore ties between butterflies found in RMNP, the individuals responsible for their initial discovery, classification, or life history elucidation, and the ground-breaking works these men and women published and illustrated, often at great expense. Included in the 45-minute slide presentation will be profiles of the young, self-taught naturalist who accompanied Major Stephen Long to Colorado in 1820, an early Amazon River explorer who bankrupted himself pursuing a passion for butterflies, and one unsavory collector who pilfered other people’s prized specimens in his top hat. The program, which begins at 7:00 p.m., is free to the public. Call the Baldpate at 586-5397 for further information or directions.
