Harvest Festival

Today is the 26th annual Harvest Festival at the Neskowin Valley School.  Starting at 10 a.m. and lasting until 5 p.m. you will find all sorts of things to see and do.  Located 2 miles off Highway 101 on Slab Creek Road, just South of Neskowin, Oregon.

The main fund raiser for the school is the silent auction.  You can bid on a night at The Craftsman B&B's Prairie Room.  We have bid on golf and dinner gift certificates, wine and art in the past.  They have had a stay in a New York City apartment for a week, other great vacation spots as well.  The items get creative, something you would never think of bidding on like a load of bark dust, an hour of bobcat work, yard work, plus the usual arts and craft items.  There is also a quilt raffle and a wine auction.  Here is a hint, as most people have Blackberry's, iPhone or iPhoney as I like to call the knockoffs, look up the wine online before you bid to make sure the value is there.  You can always risk it, the money goes to the school.  The bakery cafe will be serving food as well at different vendors.  There is children's activities, live music, craft vendors and fun for all ages.

We hope to see you there, TODAY!  We will also be at the Nestucca Bay Refuge opening.

Best Breakfast

A few weeks ago, I wrote an entry about some bikers heading down the Pacific Coast.  Read about it here.  Their goal was to get as far as they could.  If that meant San Diego, San Francisco or as it turns out, San Luis Obispo.  Mike almost made it to SLO to attend Cal Poly, he didn't.  He got a job in the trade he wanted to after moving to California and was making too much money to give it up to spend way too much money at school.

So the ESB tour posted a recap of their ride and The Craftsman B&B was chosen for Best Breakfast!  Their tour was 29 days, we were early in their trip and are glad we were so memorable.  We served a Fritatta, and that's not even our signature dish of Banana's Foster French Toast.  They had a rough time the day they checked in so we wanted to make sure they had a hearty meal for the days ride up Slab Creek Road, also chosen as one of the top roads, over Cascade Head.

Congrats on the ride.  I may be stout, but I think I'm fit, just not fit enough to attempt such a journey.
