Winding Down for the Season

Good Morning!

Well, it’s hard to believe this will by my final blog for the 2009 season at the Baldpate Inn. The summer and fall have flown by and we are down to our final 2 days (today and tomorrow). It has certainly been an amazing experience to work here at the Baldpate Inn and spend a summer in the mountains. For someone like myself who is used to the flat land and cornfields of Ohio, the mountains have been a welcome break and have provided plenty of memories.

I want to thank all of our guests from this season for also providing plenty of memories. It was truly a joy to work in a place that is full of so many stories. I can’t even begin to count the incredible number of stories that our guests have about their personal history with the Baldpate Inn. The wonderful history of this building continues to grow with each of these stories and is what builds the character and tradition of the Baldpate Inn.

If you’re in town and want to satisfy your Baldpate Inn cravings once more before we close on Sunday, give us a call (970-586-5397) or make a reservation online (http://www.baldpateinn.com/dining.asp). Reservations, as always, are highly recommended as we expect to be busier than usual these last few days.

Soups of the Day: White Chili and Tomato Rice

Muffins of the Day: Poppy Seed and Golden Sunshine

Rumors in kitchen are making it sound like we’ll be having Beef Stew and Pumpkin Curry soups tomorrow.

Again, it has truly been a joy to interact with all of you this summer and we hope to see you back at the Baldpate Inn again in 2010.

Take care,

Eric Knapke
