Jerry raised his family in Mount Pearl, so it has a special place in his heart. And since we’re only about an hour outside Mount Pearl, we know lots of our guests hail from this great city. So here’s a friendly reminder that the Frosty Festival is coming up! Hard to believe it’s in its 33rd year – we remember the first! This year they’ve got lots of great events lined up, including an International Food and Craft Fair, Wine Tasting, and live show with Shanneyganock and The Irish Descendents. Not to be missed!

Alice’s Tea Party Recap
Last weekend’s Alice’s Tea Party was a huge, whimsical success, and we’re so happy to have been a part of it. Of course, this was the event, sponsored by the Whiteway Spring Hare and Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council, that welcomed artists and guests to celebrate in our English gardens at The Doctor’s House. We were delighted to host well over 100 attendees, and, judging from our excelllent feedback, everyone really enjoyed themselves. Everyone loved the venue, Chef Cate’s specialties (what garden party is complete without afternoon tea?) and the ambiance – so much so that we hope to make this an annual tradition! A big thanks to the wonderful artists, poets and musicians who helped to make such a wonderful afternoon.
And thanks to Margaret Ayad for this picture of Clifford George, one of the featured artists, and for documenting the day with such lovely photographs . You can see all of her photos of the tea party, here (and follow her on Facebook to stay up to date with everything happening out here on the Baccalieu!).
