Ho Ho Ho! The 19th Annual Holiday Tour of Bed and Breakfast Inns will take place this weekend, December 8th & 9th. This year’s theme is the 12 Days of Christmas and, yes, we have been assigned Six Geese A-Laying! Our holiday decorations will be more traditional than the above – Kelly and Janice are putting together a Victorian-period display of the geese. The tickets have recently sold out, so we hope you got yours in time! Of course, you are welcome to come by anytime and see our holiday decorations.
