"Inn Granola To Your Door" Contest, Results, and Notes


Greetings, Blog Readers. It is a beautiful Spring day in Western Maine. Hope wherever you are you have seen some nice Spring days.

To all of my supportive guests (new and returning) and blog readers who took the time to read and participate in the "Inn Granola" contest: THANK YOU one and all!!
I will be sending out the mailings between May 1-15, 2009, so get your spoons ready!

The correct answers to the room name changes are:

Clue #1 Answer: The Glenn Miller Suite (formerly "The Sebago Suite"--named after the brilliant band leader whose sound is so familiar with us all. He will always be remembered for the music that defined a decade and beyond.
Clue #2 Answer: The Mae West Room (formerly "The Ethel Ada Room")--named after the bawdy, intelligent actress who rallied against the male-dominated censorship of her time and leaving us with enough zingers to last another century. Her beauty, grace, and wisdom will be remembered also.
Clue #3 Answer: The Gershwin Room (formerly "The Gazelle")--inspired by the great jazz/classical composer, George Gershwin (and his brother Ira Gershwin). The duo left us with some of the greatest songs in the American songbook!
Clue #4 Answer: The Copland Room (formerly "The Freeport")-in honor of the great American composer, Aaron Copland, who graced us with gorgeous "Appalachian Spring,""Lincoln Portrait,""Rodeo," and "Fanfare for the Common Man."

I had a great time running the promotion. Thanks again.

Well, back upstairs--the engraved door markers have come in from Downeast Engravers here in town. Anxious to get them up before the official April 28th kick-off.

Keep checking back for more on inn life, home/inn cooking ideas, and fun!
