LUMINESCENT ORCHESTRII AT STUART'S OPERA HOUSE

If you are a fan of music, you should plan a visit to Stuart's Opera House in Nelsonville this month. The playhouse offers a wide variety of fabulous events and this month is no exception.

On February 19 Luminescent Orchestrii will put on an incredible musical event featuring Romanian gypsy melodies, punk frenzy, salty tango, hard-rocking klezmer, haunting Balkan harmony, hip-hop beats and Appalachian fiddle. Hailing from different scenes in New York City, the members come together through their love of Balkan and Gypsy music. After touring throughout Europe and the United States, they are making a stop in Nelsonville and it's shaping up to be an awesome experience!

Tickets are on sale now. And while you're in the area, plan for dinner in our award-winning restaurant and to spend the night in one of our luxurious cottages or cabins. We look forward to seeing you!

SWEETHEARTS HIKE IN THE HOCKING HILLS

The Hocking Hills can be one of the most romantic places in Ohio and is a perfect place to spend Valentine's Day. Beautiful waterfalls, rugged cliffs, and undisturbed forests. What could be more romantic?


Hocking Hills State Park is offering an opportunity to experience all of this with their Sweethearts Hike on Friday, February 13th, from 5-7pm. You are invited to take your sweetheart on a romantic stroll to Ash Cave in the soft light of dusk. Naturalist Pat Quackenbush will lead this half-hour walk, where romantics can linger around the campfire and enjoy free cookies and hot chocolate.


And when you're finished, you can join us at the Inn for a romantic dinner in our award-winning restaurant and time to cuddle with your sweetheart around the fireplace in our Fireside Lounge or in one of our cabins or cottages. What more could your Valentine ask for!

COOKING AT HILLS MARKET

Chef Anthony and Innkeeper Ellen were invited to The Hills Market to open their winter cooking class series. The Hills Market is a wonderful community grocery store with exceptional gourmet shopping. The Market specializes in carrying hard-to-find items, internationally-loved foods, and locally-produced products.

Clearly we were excited to be a part of their cooking class program. Chef Anthony was invited to lead two classes in January, as his first class sold out so enthusiastically.

The first hour of the class, participants filed into the tiny but quaint cooking area where Chef Anthony dazzled them with how to cook a three-course meal. Menu items included Goat Cheese & Sherry with Warm Goat Cheese on Ciabatta Points with Fine Herbs & Sherry Vinaigrette, Brown Butter Sage Chicken Breast with Crimini Mushrooms, Asparagus & Sweet Potato Gnocchi, and Bourbon Spiked Pear & Apple Bread Pudding.

For the second hour, the group was wined and dined as they feasted on the items they watched being made and enjoyed wines selected by Wine Director Constance Begue. A fun time was had by all!

If you are interested in attending a class at The Hills Market, their cooking series continues through the month of February. And don't forget that at the Inn we have our own very popular cooking classes with Chef Anthony throughout the year. Contact the Inn for more information and to register.
