Arts and Entertainment on "Old Cape Cod"

Cannot believe that it is the middle of September already. Seems like we were just hunkering down for Earl--who by the way, got way more hype than he deserved. We had rain from 8:30 pm to 4:00 am, and could have served breakfast outdoors, it was that beautiful the next day. Unfortunately, we had all the furniture tied up, but have been having breakfast outside since.

The weather is really beautiful right now. It is those clear bright days and cool nights. The moon seems bigger than ever and it is only a half moon. Soon we will have a harvest moon to brighten our sky.

September is a great month to take advantage of the arts and entertainment that abounds on Cape Cod. This up coming weekend has some great events. Here are some samples:

At the Creative Arts Center in Chatham -- Autumn Open Juried Exhibition.
The Village Garden Club of Dennis -- A Cape Cod September, a flower show with the bounties of fall.
Provincetown Art Association and Museum -- Annual Fall Consignment Auction of Vintage Fine Art by prominent Provincetown artists.
Hyannis Harbor Sea Shanties, Bismore Park --See the work of more than 32 artists who work out of the shanties.

After a day of enjoying different galleries on Cape Cod, take advantage of the night life offered by our many off Broadway theatres. Here are a few choices:

Harbor Stage of Wellfleet -- "Dead Ringer" -- September 1-18.
Cape Rep Theatre in Brewster -- "Side Man" -- September 6 to October 17
The Academy of Performing Arts in Orleans -- "Play it again Sam" -- Through September 18
Fifth Annual Tennessee Williams Festival in Provincetown -- "Under the Influence" -- September 23 -26

Last but not least, for the music lovers, there will be plenty to enjoy a t the Fourth Annual Provincetown Music Festival on September 18.

So come on down for a great weekend of entertainment. Oh, and the beaches are also awaiting your arrival. Book your reservations today, either on-line or give us a call at 800-440-1281. Have a romantic weekend getaway!

Carnival Week in Provincetown-- A Jungle Fantasy Comes to Cape Cod

One of our fun days out is the Carnival Parade in Provincetown. This year's theme is "Jungle Fantasy," so don your best Tarzan and Jane costume and join in the fun. There is a lot of laughter, singing, dancing, candy tossing, and great costuming. The parade begins promptly at 3:00 PM on August 19th at the beginning of Commercial Street. The festivities are offered for a diverse population, including children, so it is done with a lot of fun and in good taste.

After the parade it is off to Wellfleet for some great 'chowdah' and oysters at the Bookstore, steamed clams and boiled lobster at Pearl, and sushi at Mac's Shack -- maybe not in that order, but a progressive dinner is always a fun thing to do. All these restaurants have outdoor seating and view of Cape Cod Bay -- the best sunsets in the world are right over the Bay.

If you can't visit us for Carnival, come for the weekend -- we have three great one-nighters with a 15% discount, one Friday-Saturday reservation and three Saturday-Sunday reservations. Don't delay.

If you want to take a great walk -- just turn left out of the Inn's parking lot, go to your first right, Dyer Prince, and follow it to Cape Cod Bay. Along the way you may spot deer, osprey, fox, coyote, and if the tide is going out, a cadre of sea creatures, burrowing into the sand waiting for the water to return.

Make your reservations today -- online or by phone, 508-255-0617.

Today Kevin and I went picnic shopping in Hyannis. We decided to have lunch at Baxter's. It was a great setting right on the channel. Here you could watch the pleasure boats and the ferries coming and going. The sun was shining, the temperature fantastic and the food was yummy. President Kennedy used to pull up to Baxter's by boat and have lunch. He was a great fan of Baxter's and we will surely recommend it to our guests. Their menu boasts of all the great food that Cape Codders and visitors seek out. We had a lobster crab cake as an appetizer and both of us could not resist the call of the fried clam strips. There was chowdah' on the menu along with lobster rolls, fried fish, calamari, and steak and hamburgers for the land lubbers.
