PINTS FOR PUPS, Our Annual SPCA Brew Fest Fundraiser 2014

Rosie & Jazzy
There are about a million reasons to love dogs. My families' two rescues are part of our family (two boxers, Jazzy's from the SPCA). I can't imagine life without them. I am grateful and in awe of Tompkin's County SPCA and all the hard work they do. Being a "no kill" shelter takes a lot of dedication, hard work and money. That's where we come in.
Every year we host a local micro brew fest which benefits the Tompkins County SPCA called, "Pints for Pups." This year's will be held Thursday, February 20,  from 6 - 10 pm at our restaurant and brew house. Generous local breweries joining us and pouring tastings: Bacchus Brewing, Band Wagon Brewing, Hopshire Farm Brewery, Rogues' Harbor Brewing Co., Roosterfish Brewing, Seneca Lodge Brewing and Wagner Brewing. We can not wait to try all the craft brews they're bringing. A $15 donation gets you samples from everyone. Wrist bands can be purchased at the door or at Rogues' Harbor Inn and the SPCA in advance.
There will also be live music. Joel Kirshner & Tu can Do from 6 - 9. Silent Auction will include lots of art work, dog and cat goodie packages from Ithaca Agway, sterling Buddy tag from the Jewlbox, gift cards from several restaurants including Rogues' and Kilpatricks, port wine from Ports of NY, and tons more. Plus, our chef is working on a beer inspired tasting menu which will features a sample of threeof our craft brews, one for each course for a set price. 10 % of dinner proceeds that evening will, be donated to the SPCA along with all proceeds from the beer tasting and silent auction.
Last year we raised over $3,500! It will be hard to top that, so please save the date and join us for beer, dinner and big fun.

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 :)
