Happenings at the Resort...March 2017
|
Greetings from Port Ludlow -
We love photographs, don't you? Well, that is what all of the buzz is about with
INSTAGRAM. We invite you to join us on this journey as we explore the area with a couple of photographers in a current campaign on the Olympic Peninsula - if you are an "instagramer" it is - @theolympicpeninsula and #ontheolympicpeninsula - see you there.
Part of what makes photos so much fun is that you can get the entire story...or imagine what the story might be. We did this recently in sorting through family photos - and came upon one of my grandmother sitting on the back of a horse. She was wearing a dress - and was not side saddle with an expression that spoke volumes about her world at that very moment.

Pictures of people are fascinating....yet the ones that seem to capture the attention on social media are animals and food. Why is this, do you think?
Playing to that, here's your chance to win dinner for two at The Fireside. The first one to guess correctly what this is will be our guest.

P.S. Last month's winner is Paul Mosely. He shared this photo of what his family was doing on the "snow day" when we sent the February newsletter out....fun for sure!

As you can see from the photo above, we are hard at work at the Golf Course.
Renovations have been completed on holes 4, 6, and 18. With SUN in the forecast it might be time to come play a round and see the changes at the course.
The 2017 golf season for Chimacum High School has started. Just this week the 11-player team had their first practice of the season with Coach Darren Posey, our Head PGA Professional. And we are delighted that there will be four young ladies on the team too. Go Cowboys!
The
Seattle Golf Show is this weekend, will you be there? If so, swing by our booth #735. Stop by for specials, prizes, and more...

Were you a Girl Scout? I was and it was a very important part of not only my childhood but learning many skills....one of which was selling - yes, Girl Scout Cookies - I think my record was 542 boxes one year. So, we honor that this month with a Girl Scout special. It's called SCOUT - for the month of March, good any night. You can
book online using pacakge ID:
SCOUT or give us a call for details.

We are pleased to have the Port Ludlow Artists' League hang their new display at the Inn this month...Blossoms of Spring, very apropos.
Speaking of the Port Ludlow Artists' League, you might want to join them for
Art Fest. This all-day event on Saturday, April 29th features a variety of art classes with proceeds donated to college scholarships for Chimacum High School seniors.
Join us this month for our
Low and Slow Dinner Nights and book your
St. Patrick's Day celebration on Friday, March 17th now. This is a four course dinner with beer and whiskey specials offered throughout the evening. And since it's on a Friday, why not stay the night and enhance your evening with our
RELAX package?

This is going to a very special year for the Jefferson County Farmer's Market - the 25th Anniversary. Opening Day is coming up on April 1 (no, this is not a joke). A really special day is planned including a letter writing campaign and we'll be a part of this too. Make plans now to come and celebrate the day - and enjoy it even further by booking one of our FARM PACKAGES - this year we are offering it as either a one night or two night package.
If you cannot wait that long, perhaps the RELAX package is "just what the doctor ordered" or a round of GOLF...check out some options or give us a call. We are happy to find just the right fit to make your stay memorable. |

What People Are Saying...

"Spent our 17th wedding anniversary at The Resort this past weekend. Everything was absolutely perfection! The accommodations are beautifully appointed & designed for your comfort & relaxation. Dinner at The Fireside was simply delicious! Locally sourced foods prepared with delicious flair! Everyone at the Resort was so friendly and helpful. I cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed my visit! Looking forward to celebrating many more special occasions here."
"We love going here on our anniversary. This was our 6th visit. Although there is plenty to do in the area, we just like to relax and enjoy the peace, quiet and view from the room. My husband likes to sit and watch all the boat activity outside our room at the Marina. As always, our room was very clean and we liked the brand new shower. Thanks again for another great stay!"
"We wanted to do a quick overnight to celebrate a friend's birthday and this was our first choice. As always, we had a great time, dinner in The Fireside and then in the Jacuzzi with the special bath salts. The staff here are engaging and friendly. This makes our 10 or 11 stay here and we will continue to keep this on our list for a future go to." |
