Pints for Pups an SPCA Fundraiser at Rogues'

We love beer. We love dogs. They go together like peanut butter and jelly.
We even make dog biscuits from our spent brewing grain, aka Brewscuits. $1 from the sale of every bag benefits the Tompkins SPCA. Every year we plan a fundraiser for our Tompkins SPCA, and this year's event will bring our two favorite things together, beer and dogs.
We've decided on Thursday, February 21, 6 - 9 pm on the first floor of the inn and our brew house.  There'll be six local micro brewers pouring samples of their craft brews, including the Rogues' Harbor Brewing Co, Roosterfish Brewing, Bandwagon Brews, Cortland Beer, Bacchus Brewing and Wagner Valley Brewing. Yum. We'll be pouring our latest Brewer's Choice, American Barley Wine Style Beer , for the first time that evening as well as offering tours of our brew house.
Thursdays are Live Music Nights at Rogues' too; so there will be live music in the brew house by Space Train and live music in our pub by Mike Thuesen. There'll be tastings and auctions in both locations, too.
There will be a silent auction that I can never resist with goodies from The Jewelbox, Treleaven Winery, Mastercraft Framing, The People's Market, Ithaca Agway, and more.
We'll be serving dinner as always that evening and 10% of our dinner sales will be donated to the SPCA.
Tickets (aka wrist bands) will be a $15 donation benefiting the SPCA available at the door or in advance at the SPCA and the Rogues' Harbor Inn.
Join us to raise a glass and toast our two favorite things: beer and dogs. With your help (and by help I mean sampling beer) we'll exceed funds raised last year...$2,000+ !

New Entry at the Inn

Image
We are feeling very pleased with our new (and long overdue) entry. We are honored to know a local master craftsman that resurfaced the concrete steps, repaired the decorative woodwork, repaired the roof, and forged two wrought iron railings. It's very rewarding to repair/replace things on this beautiful building and make them look like they once did with quality design, materials and craftsmanship. It's always a challenge to decide (and budget) what is worth keeping or replicating and what isn't. We usually decide to keep or replicate. We want everything to look as original as possible. We had to have two columns replaced/replicated. We think they look spot on. Maybe we are the only ones that know which are new...and we think the wrought iron railings are much like what would have been in place originally. We should post "before" photos, but it was ugly. We always focus on the positive and progress, so we are only posting the demo, in progress, and the beautiful

One of Our Winter Projects

Image
Room 9 was just refreshed and redecorated: new beautiful king size brass bed, new cute farmhouse distressed night stands, new table and ladder back chairs (with funky blue and white modern fabric seats), fresh paint all around, new cushy carpet, gorgeous East Lake marble top dresser, and even new room darkening drapes. I do love to refresh guest rooms. To see the finished room and to have guests love it as much as I do is a wonderful feeling. We always have a list of winter (slow season) projects, but this was my favorite this year. It's a hit with guests too :)
