Farewell old friend...

Our wonderful "White Oak Inn" family lost a great friend (family member) this past week. Rocky the Labrador will be profoundly missed as a fixture of the Inn for so many years. Rocky's presents brought a certain charm and warmth to the White Oak Inn that will not soon be forgotten.

We first met Rocky when we began presenting mysteries at the Inn nearly 7 years ago. He was a mature dog back then but was always ready for a visit from Inn guests. We will always remember Rocky for his participation in our mysteries! That's right! Rocky had a recurring role in all of our events. You see, when a mystery participant would try to guess "who done it" at the end of the night...and their answers were REALLY bad...Yvonne would give them the booby prize which consisted of doggie treats wrapped in a nice bow. This was Rocky's signal to show up and help the guest eat their prize! He never missed a cue. We'll all miss you buddy. You were special.

Merry Christmas!

Not much new to report today. Because of the Christmas holiday, we don't have a mystery scheduled for the rest of the year! (Which is actually just 14 days) However, in January we start again with 4 shows at the White Oak Inn and one at a new venue...Raven's Glenn Winery. Both are very beautiful settings and the food at each location is outstanding!

If you come to the White Oak Inn, you will certainly enjoy the rural setting with all its natural beauty. There is also an opportunity to feed the resident sheep (they don't live inside the Inn) and visit with our old buddy Rocky the lab. Innkeepers Ian and Yvonne unquestionably serve some of the best food I have had the pleasure of eating...and I've eaten my share! The pumpkin soup alone is worth the trip. It's my all-time favorite.

Raven's Glenn Winery is a new venue for our mysteries, but certainly not new to us as a destination for dinner, great music and some wonderful wines. The menu is mostly Italian and they do it well! Just imagine a great pastas dish with your favorite wine and your favorite someone while listening to the soothing piano music of our friend Dan Barnes.
I'm partial to their dry red wine, Syrah. But with nearly 20 choices from their list of wines made on-site, you'll find the perfect grape for you!
