March/April 2001 - Newsletter
| Greetings!
March is that month for buds to decide to bloom or to get stunted by another freeze – our vote is for warmer weather! It’s also the time to celebrate with our Irish friends for St. Patrick’s Day! And April is not far behind- flowers, thoughts of Spring and time for gardening. JD & I wish you a “blarney of a good time” and are green with envy that you aren’t here spending time with us! We have some great specials coming soon, so be sure to read the monthly newsletter on line! Sunday Brunch
The price is still $15 + tax per person. All brunches begin at 1:30 PM More Food…This Irish recipe goes great with corned beef for your St. Patrick's Day menu! Colcannon 6 servings of your favorite mashed potatoes 2 tablespoons butter 1 cup finely shredded cabbage
Overnight Stays! Be sure to check the web site for some great summer specials – to celebrate the beginning of Merridun’s 10th year in business. Enchanted Evening Gift certificates for overnight stays make great birthday, wedding and anniversary gifts. Gift Certificates are also available for rooms, meals, teas, and gift shop.
