- Amish Inns and Christmas Cookie Tour on Sunday December 14, 2014. The 12 Inns are open for the tour from 12:30 to 6:00 p.m. Anyone else want to go? I'm thinking we might want to do a group supper (if we aren't full of cookies) at the end of our tour.
Tickets ($35 per person) went on sale today and can be purchased from the site. Proceeds from the ticket sales are being donated to charity.
From the web site:
Inns of Amish Country, dressed up and decked out for the holidays, will present this classic Christmas carol, featuring the whimsical ?12 Days of Christmas? quilt by master quilter, Loretta Coblentz. During the month of December, the exterior of each inn will be adorned with a breathtaking quilt-block square and visitors are welcome to tour the inns all month long to see these giant quilt-block installations. During the cookietour, Mrs. Coblentz will display her one-of-a-kind masterpiece and share with visitors her quilting techniques using felted wool applique and embroidery embellishments.
At each stop on the two-day self-guided tour satisfy your sweet tooth with delicious indulgences including Diamond Ring Cut-Out Cookies, Old World Swiss Cookies, Gooey Red Velvet Butter Cookies, Russian Teacakes, Mocha Truffle Cookies, and more. The inns will offer inspirational decor and festive music. At select locations, local businesses will present food samples and holiday demonstrations.
Inns featured on this year?s tour are: Berlin Grande, Berlin Resort, Carlisle Inn Sugarcreek, Carlisle Walnut Creek, Garver House, Guggisberg Swiss Inn, Inn at Amish Door, Memory Lane Cabin, Ramada Inn, Sojourner?s Lodge, Wallhouse Hotel, and Zinck?s Inn.
Agenda:- 11:30 Lunch - Meet for lunch in Strasburg at Campesino's Grill (Mexican) at 11:30 a.m.
- Address: 1170 North Wooster Ave, Strausburg, OH
- Directions: from the Strausburg exit (87) take US 250 north/west for 1.9 miles. You will pass through downtown Stausburg (two traffic lights) and continue to the north edge of the village. There is a small strip mall on the left and the restaurant is a separate building at the north end of the mall parking lot.
- 12:30-6:00 Inns & Cookies (Not sure how long to allow for each inn, so times below are just estimates that assume 15 minutes to park, get cookies, see the inn and featured vendors, get back in the trucks and head out. That's pretty fast for this group to get in and out of trucks.
- 12:45 - Ramada Inn - Strausburg
- 1:05 - Garver House - Strausburg
- 1:35 - Inn at the Amish Door - Wilmot
- 2:00 - Sojourners Lodge between Wilmot and Berlin
- 2:35 - Berlin Grand - Berlin
- 3:00 - Berlin Resort - Berlin
- 3:20 - Zinck's Inn -Berlin
- 3:45 - Guggisberg Swiss Inn - Millersburg
- 4:15 - Carlisle Inn Walnut Creek
- 4:35 - Wallhouse Hotel - Walnut Creek
- 5:00 - Memory Lane Cabin - Sugarcreek (via shuttle service from Light In The Valley Chapel)
- 5:40 - Carlisle Inn Sugarcreek
- 6:00 Supper or head for home From the brochure, it looks as though there will be some opportunity for food other than cookies (at Zinck's Inn and Wallhouse Hotel) so we may not be too interested in supper.
The tentative schedule above pretty much covers the entire time that they are open for the tour. If we find that 15 minutes isn't going to be enough time and start to run behind we can have a quick pow-wow and decide which inns the group would prefer to hit or skip.
