THE WEEKEND OF L.O.V.E.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Celebrate Valentine's Weekend at the Blue Heron Inn. We have one room left for sweethearts who love to ski, snowboard or snowmobile. Don't forget the Blue Heron is located on the Snowmobile Trail #C-4

                                                                   

HEY, WHERE'S MY E-MAIL?
Over the weekend I realized that my web site e-mail address wasn't working. I knew I was missing e-mails from several individuals last week but chalked it up to an internet "hiccup" chalked up to "stuff happens" . This was no hiccup -- more than 300 e-mails sat on my web site's server for more than a week - yikes! Thankfully my web site pros jumped on it & released a flood of new mail - albeit a number of days late. The explanation? Seems this sometimes happens in MS Explorer so I think I'll test this e-mail address weekly! Apologies to those business e-mails that needed to be answered before the weekend!


HOW ABOUT THIS WEATHER?
Everyone knows Findley Lake lies in the snow belt; when the Weather Channel references "lake effect snows off the shores of Lake Erie" they're talking about our back yard. So how crazy is it that Findley Lake's was sunny and beautiful while DC, Pittsburgh & Philadelphia are still digging out from record snowfalls? What's up with that?

Granted, we still have a couple of feet of snow in the yard and the ice fisherman have assumed their positions the frozen lake so it's we're still living winter as usual in Chautauqua County, NY. It's snowing tonight as I write this and the weatherman is calling for snow all day tomorrow. The roads are good and Findley Lake is open for business - we live winter!


PRESIDENT'S DAY WEEKEND WINTER FESTIVAL
FEB 12 - 14, 2010

Annual winter celebration at Lakeside Park in Mayville, NY with contests, concessions, crafts, entertainment, food, and of course the Ice Castle!

Findley Lake, NY.

Cheers!

Here Comes the Weekend!

Findley Lake has been the lucky recipient of more than a foot of new snow in the last 36 hours. Which is exactly what a winter wonderland needs this time of the year. And I expect that Peek 'n Peak will be crowded thanks to these great weather conditions!

This weekend will present a stark contrast to last weekend - when snowmobiling conditions were sad at best. And skiers and boarders were fending off the rain to make the best of their ski weekends. This weekend will bode well for all the winter sports including the determined ice fisherman who spend their days on top of the frozen lake, trolling for pike, blue gills, perch & crappies!

The Blue Heron Inn is right on the Chautauqua Snowmobile Trail and offer parking, lodging, dining & spirits! And we have packages to make your weekend the best ever:

Overnight Package - Weekends:
Stay 1 night (Fri, Sat or Sun) and get the 2nd night at half price!

Overnight Package - Weekdays:
Stay 2 mid-week nights & the 3rd night’s on us

There's no football on TV this weekend  (everyone's waiting for next weekend's Super Bowl) so make your way to Findley Lake!

Drop by the Blue Heron Inn for a meal, a cocktail or a browse through our shop.
See you soon! Tobi

Success is Sweet - now on with the show!

I believe I've finally straightened out the blog-to-FaceBook debacle. Now I can focus on the business at hand - and that's shouting out all that's happening the 1st 2 weeks of February. Busy, busy time in Findley Lake and Chautauqua County at large!

Snow is in the forecast so the snowmobiling, skiing and boarding should be great throughout the next few weeks!

I'll post an entire itinerary in my next note later today. Thanks for bearing with me as I tweaked and tweaked and tweaked some more!
Yours,
Tobi

3RD TIME'S THE CHARM (we hope!)

Consulted with another blogger, tweaked some settings & believe I'm on the road to recovery.
I believe this message is going to sail through to where it belongs - if not, it's margarita time!
Seriously & this time I MEAN IT!
