Friends,
I can hardly believe it, but Memorial Day is right around the corner. It is next weekend to be exact. Many people will be staying at home, enjoying the weather, and grilling out with family and friends, but if adventure is more of what you are looking for this holiday week, we have just the things for you to do!
Start your weekend off with the Feast of the Flowering Moon in Chillicothe. This festival being held Friday, Saturday and Sunday features Native American music, dancing, traders, and exhibits with a mountain man encampment with working craftsmen and demonstrations. There are also over 80 crafters and commercial exhibits, food, fun, games and contests for the whole family.
Saturday and Sunday take in the sights at the Rockbridge Art and Garden Celebration. Don’t miss your chance to see world class gold jewelry artist Trudy Springer demonstrating fine gold jewelry making – Greg Springer will be demonstrating his amazing techniques in clay – Renee Gerring exhibiting the art of recycled bottle painting – Frank Marteney fabulous works with wire – Master Basket Weaver Leota Hutchison with incredible basket weaving and garden art. Master Gardener Nick Kozma from Home Grown Gardens will be displaying spectacular annual and perennial plantings and will be on hand to answer all of your gardening questions! Demonstrations will be going on all day - all art work and plants will be for sale. This is a free exhibit.
On Monday May 25th don't miss out on the Memorial Day Train ride in Nelsonville, Ohio at the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway. Celebrate the holiday with an old-fashioned train ride! The train will travel to Logan and does not include a stop at Robbins Crossing, which is only open on weekends. Adult: $13 Senior (60+): $11 Child (3-12): $10 Under 3 years old ride free but must sit on guardian's lap.
Final Fridays on the Square in Nelsonville will be celebrating Bloomin' on the Bricks on Friday May 27th. On the final Friday of every month, except December, galleries and retail shops on Nelsonville's historic square stay open late to feature special art events. From 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm, enjoy artists' demonstrations, art chats, artists at work in their studios and openings of new art exhibits, plays, and musical shows. Watch drum circles, street musicians, dancers, and other sidewalk entertainment amidst artists & craftspersons selling their wares. It's safe to plant now, so get your flowers, herbs and vegetable plants from local growers. Garden Art will delight all the fairies in your garden paradise.
Stop in at The Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls Restaurant and pick up a brown bag lunch to take with you while you explore Hocking Hills and its wonders this holiday weekend. Everyone have a safe and happy Memorial Day Holiday.
From our family to yours,
Ellen and Terry
Innkeepers

I have to say this does sound tempting for anyone that likes the outdoors. It has to be a strong consideration if I ever make it to Ohio again.
Thanks for the comment. We would love to see you!
