Summer Enchanted Evening!

Hey everyone, it's finally here!   
 
      Ever wanted to visit faraway lands but just never have the time or funds to do so?
We here at the Baldpate Inn understand that the travel bug is a pandemic that affects
certain people worldwide whose longing for adventures abroad are not being medicated.
In our efforts to cure your growing pains, we hope that you can make it for our “Summer
Enchanted Evenings” talk on September 4th, entitled “Keys to the Nations”. Presented by
Baldpate Key Room museum curator, Cameron Hubbard, you will learn about the
Baldpate’s connection to seven locales, which range from royal to exotic, around the
globe through the international keys which have been graciously donated to us
throughout our history.
 
      The first stop on our world tour will be across the pond in Merry Ol’ England,
where we will stop and see the famous Westminster Abbey Church and say hello along
the way to British royalty at Buckingham Palace. While we are in England, we might as
well take a little nature walk through Sherwood Forest, which has connections to the
legend of Robin Hood among other things. Our Euro-tour does not end here, as we still
have to see the Wilanow Palace in Poland and get goose bumps from Bran Castle, which
has links to the legend of Dracula. From here we will hope down and use our Key to
West Africa and unlock its gates, with our end stop being at the Tomb of the Caliphs in
Cairo, Egypt, where the former Egyptian ruler Ibrahim Pasha is buried.
 
     Since summer is almost over, why not enjoy the last of it by sharing with us an
end-of-the-summer information vacation? The excitement begins at 7 pm, with
complimentary refreshments and cookies. Telephone 970-586-KEYS (5397) for dinner
reservations, directions, or more information.
