8/7/2011

How is everyone today?  I hope you are all having a wonderful and relaxing weekend.  And hopefully that relaxing day includes a trip to The Baldpate.  It's going to be a great day for a meal.  Today, our soups are Beef Stew and Tomato Rice and our Muffins are Poppy Seed and Zucchini Dill Muffins.  Doesn't that sound amazing?

It's official: play season at The Baldpate has ended.  They were great fun and we are sad that we are not going to see them anymore, as well as see all the wonderful play people who were so nice.  We would like the thank them for all of their hard work putting the productions on.  It was no easy task, but they made it seem effortless.  We would also like to thank everyone who attended the plays.  It's because of your support that we are able to do these.

Have a great day and I hope to see you soon.

Good Morning!

It is Sunshine Saturday and the sun is surely smiling this morning. It's been a fun weekend so far with College Daze going on and the Arsenic and Old Lace performance. So come join us for some fun and laughter!

Today's soups are my favorites Red Chili and Potato Leek along with our Golden Sunshine muffins and Tropical Breeze muffins! The breads are baking in the oven as we speak so that means fresh homemade Cornbread and Honey Wheat Bread will be ready for you! Always save room for pie because Lois makes the best pies. We have so many different kinds I guess you are just going to have to try each one!

Our last performances of Arsenic and Old Lace are today! Our outdoor play is an amazing way to bring the family and friends together for a fun summer activity. Just sit, relax, and laugh! First performance starts at 1:30 today and our last is at 6:30. Tickets can be reserved so please call and I would love to reserve you some tickets to a great show! They are $15 but if you dine with us today they are at a discounted price of $12!  Because our theatre is outdoors, please dress accordingly!

Sunshine Saturday not only represents a sunny summer Saturday, but it also suggests a cold Sunshine Wheat beer to go along with that sunny day. We will be promoting this beer today to go along with our College Daze weekend. So make sure you enjoy a cold beer with us as we remember our college memories! Today is also the day where the staff wears our college gear and we encourage you to wear yours! We have so much school pride we have no problem sharing it! So let us swap some stories and have a great time! Ask about our fall packages because they are so good professors would give it an A+.

I'm wearing my Crimson and Grey as I show off my school colors and I hope to see the Baldpate Inn filled with different colors from different schools! It's going to be a fun weekend and we would love for you to be apart of it!

Peace and Blessings,

8/3/2011

Good morning everyone.  I can't believe that as I sit down to write this blog, the calendar is telling me that it is already August.  It feels like it was just last week that I was arriving and we were preparing to open.  But I've had a wonderful summer here so far and it's only going to get better.  And something else that is only getting better is the food, and today we have a delicious line-up for you.  We are having Red Chili and Broccoli and Cheese for our soups and All Bran and Lemon Blueberry Muffins.  And as a special treat, if you get here early enough, you can give us your input on our newest muffins we are trying today, Cherry Almond.  So come in and give us the thumbs up or the thumbs down and we will know whether we should make these again or not.

Tonight is our first Summer Enchanted Evening of the month it's going to be a fun one.  George Peck, who has been a resident of Estes Park for more than 80 years, is going to be here tonight and share his stories and pictures.  So join us tonight at 7:00 pm in The Baldpate Library for the fun trip down memory lane.

Have a great day and I hope to see you soon.

Good Morning!
The fire is burning, the birds are chirping, and the coffee is brewing What a perfect morning! It is always so calm and serene in the mornings it puts me in such a peaceful and relaxed mood. However, like my daddy always says, "There is a calm before a storm." Not saying there will be a storm, but we do get extremely busy during lunch and dinner hours so it is nice to relax and prepare for a busy day. Since it is our busy peak, it is always recommended to call and make a reservation.

It always best to make a reservation when Beef Stew and Cream of Mushroom are on the menu. And to go along with those yummy soups, Blueberry Muffins and Green Onion Cream Cheese Muffins are on the menu as well. Cornbread and Honey Wheat Bread are served daily so make sure you try our delicious homemade breads. A soup and salad buffet is a perfect option for those who are health conscious or just those who enjoy a healthy and fresh meal. So call and make a reservation at 970-586-5397 because I would love to make you one!

Some exciting events going on here at the Baldpate Inn include Summer Enchanted Evenings with George Peck. Mr. Peck moved with his parents to Estes Park in the early 1930's and he has some stories and pictures to show and tell! Travel back in time 80 years ago with us as George Peck takes us back to what Estes Park was like when dances at the Riverside were 10 cents and self-service gasoline was unheard of! This will be an enchanted evening for sure! Program starts at 7:00 P.M. in the Baldpate library tomorrow.

This weekend there will be three more performances of Arsenic and Old Lace! (I told you there were exciting events going on). Join us on August 5th at 6:30 and on August 6th at 1:30 and 6:30 on our outdoor theatre. These our are last performances of the season so you don't want to miss out! Dine with us on the same day of the performance and your ticket will be at a discounted price of $12 instead of the standard price of $15.

The last exciting event that I want to mention in this blog is our upcoming school pride weekend. Our College Daze event starts this Friday! Our interns here at the Baldpate, especially me, have tons of school pride and we wanted to get everyone involved in showing it! From August 5th-7th celebrate our diverse staff by wearing your College gear and share your stories with us! Answer a few questions about our staff and our respective universities and we will enter you in a drawing for a Key Gift Certificate!

Fun times ahead here at the Baldpate and it will only be enjoyable if you were part of it with us. Make some great memories at the Baldpate, we would love to serve you.

Peace and Blessings,

August Already!

Good Morning All!

I can't believe it is already August! Where has the summer gone! Some of our wonderful staff members will be leaving us soon to get back to school and everyone will be sad to see them depart. After a summer of hard work and fun together it will be difficult to forget these people and the memories we share together. We never say Goodbye at the Baldpate though, only "see you later".

Today's Soups: White Chili and Tomato Rice

Today's Muffins: Cranberry Nut and Little Italy

Our Summer Enchanted Evening Series continues with the long anticipated George Peck photos. As usual, in the library on Wednesday evening at 7 PM. Join us for dinner before, reservations are always recommended. Call 970-586-6151.

Welcome to the College Daze!! Celebrate our diverse staff by sharing your stories with us while you re-live those old college memmories, Answer our Pop Quiz about our staff and their respective universities and we will enter you in a drawing for a Baldpate Gift Certificate! Join us this weekend for our College Daze fun!
