EVENING SHADE INN BED AND BREAKFAST NEWSLETTER
Eureka Springs, Arkansas
January, 2011

We had a great New Year’s weekend and we’re looking forward to an even better 2011, thanks to all our wonderful repeat guests. Thank you!
Although January is normally a quiet month here in Eureka Springs, we have lots to do this month. Decorations have to be put away, rooms need to be refreshened, year-end office work and planning for the year ahead all have to be done.

We’re trying something new this winter. Donna has decided to serve dinner to the cottages in January because the selection of restaurants is limited.
Our recipe for this month is a dessert that would the perfect for Valentine’s day. We made this a few days ago as a trial-run and it was fantastic.

Come relax and rejuvenate in Eureka Springs, your extraordinary escape. Reserve your dates today!

We’re looking forward to the crisp nights and warm days that will make the leaves turn. We still don’t know what effect the hot, dry summer will have on the foliage, but luckily we did get some rain late in the summer and everything greened up again. Normally, the leaves are at their peak during the last week of October and first week of November, but nothing’s guaranteed. You can check the Arkansas Tourism Foliage Update here.

The wonderful weather will make visiting Eureka Springs even more enjoyable. Don’t miss the War Eagle Mill Craft Show, Haunted Hayrides, Voices of the Silent City and the Carnegie Library Book Sale and much more in October!
October is our busiest month and most weekends are already booked. We do have some vacancies during the week, so book your dates now! Come relax and rejuvenate in Eureka Springs, your extraordinary escape. Reserve your dates today!
