Spring Fest comes to Warwick

As innkeepers, we are always concerned with the comfort and well being of our guests. Well, this past weekend the innkeepers became the guests of the guests.

On Saturday evening, Bill and I (and by "I", I mean Joe, Bill's partner and assistant) were treated to a wonderful dinner by two of our regular guests, Nora and Lucy. Nora is a great cook and in our kitchen made a delicious shrimp and clam fra diavolo over spaghetti and tilapia pinwheels stuffed with lobster. Yum, it was a terrific dinner. We finished it off with coffee and a scandinavian almond cake baked by yours truly. It was a fun evening and gave us a chance to sit back and get "waited" on. The conversation and company was a great way to spend a mild spring evening.

One of the things we talked about was the upcoming Spring Fest in downtown Warwick. It has been around for about 10 years and has become as anticipated an event as the Fall Apple Fest in October. The event which is taking place on Saturday, April 25th from 10am to 5pm is a home and garden expo with vendors lining the streets of Warwick. You will find all sorts of entertainment and dancing also. And of course don't forget to visit the food stands and sample all the delicious food that the Hudson Valley has to offer.

The other thing that you will want to visit is the farmer's market set up at the Spring Fest. This is the first farmer's market of the season. Here you will find fruits and vegetables and all sorts of food grown right here in the Hudson Valley. After this, the market will be set up every Sunday morning beginning on the first Sunday in May.

Well, enough for now. Check back soon for more of whats going on at the Inn at Stony Creek and the town of Warwick. Have a great week.
