We had a wonderful time celebrating Yarrow Days! Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed waving to the crowd from the parade float. As it turns out, she has quite a good throwing arm when it comes to parade candy! Grandpa also had a blast pulling the dragon through town with his miniature Jeep and as a bonus we were awarded a first place ribbon.

As promised, we brought the scale model of the inn to Yarrow Pioneer Park. We really enjoyed chatting with everyone who stopped by! It was wonderful to meet so many people who have been following our progress online. Thank you all for the encouragement - we are more eager than ever to start construction on site!

This weekend the village of Yarrow is celebrating Yarrow Days complete with its annual parade!

Thanks to the Imagination Corporation, our float is all ready and we can't wait to see everyone out on Yarrow Central Road at 10 am!

We will also have a booth set up at Yarrow Pioneer Park so come on by and take a look at the scale model in person!

See you soon!

At this point in the process we have many drawings of the Hazelnut Inn. Some are quick napkin sketches, others are fully coloured concept renderings. And our scale model is well under way. But what will it really look like?

As it turns out, there are a couple buildings in Yarrow in the same architectural vein as the Inn. The House Project is one good example and the other is a small home down the street we affectionalty call the Bird House.

We had a hand in both projects and they are a little hint of what the inn will be like. But it is only a hint because while these are two very special buildings, we think the Hazelnut is going to make them look a little plain!

Happy Halloween from all of us at our spooky little inn.
