Georgette's Gossip
Here I am with Albert the birthday boy. Twenty four years ago this July, we came to the Wilburton Inn for his big birthday. Albert, who never makes a fuss about birthdays, bought his own present, the Wilburton Inn. Next year is his big birthday. I hope he doesn't go shopping again.

History Lesson
Dorothy Thompson was the wife of novelist Sinclair Lewis. She was a powerful radio and newspaper personality in the 1940s. She marched into the office of her friend FDR and demanded that he sign asylum visas for some of the refugee students who spent the duration of World War II at the school located at the Wilburton Inn. Now you know.

Katie and Ethan
Do the I Do Dip
Katie and Ethan are our made for each other bride and groom. Their destination wedding began Thursday with a family dinner. Friday was a hee haw pig roast and Saturday was the wedding and big night.
Peacocks were the bridal theme. The bridesmaids dresses were shades of peacock blue. Ethan loves pie so Katie ordered a cupboard full of pies served with Ethan's favorite ice cream. My kind of food, my kind of wedding.

Every summer, Irene Hunter, Manchester's benefactor, came to the Wilburton Inn for cocktails, dinner and the sunsets over the mountains. She told me it was her favorite place in town. Enjoy the best, come up to the Wilburton Inn.
