wilno Station Lambs

Introducing Agnes and Carmelita (in the grey wool). They are Navaho-Jacob cross and are the sweetest little bleaters you've ever seen. It was our plan to have lambs for potential lamb-burgers but this has completely gone off the rails and we will keep these two little darlings as breeding stock and hopefully get into the wool business. I envision a line of distinctive Wilno blankets woven with the Kashub colours and designs...

Introducing Wilno Heritage Beer

This is the label for our new Wilno Heritage Beer which is available at the Red Canoe Cafe and the Wilno Tavern. We're having a kick-off party on June 13 with Barney McCaffrey and friends to celebrate.

And this is our new logo which we'll be using on our business card and all our publicity. It was designed by Kelly at Bayberry Lane in Barry's Bay.

Birthday party for Terry

It's been a busy spring with lots of inn guests including Paul and Maria and family who gathered to celebrate son Terry's fortieth birthday. Here Paul and Maria demonstrate their dancing expertise.

A lovely spring evening with the cherry tree in bloom and the leaves just emerging. Luckily no blackflies yet.

A historic moment in Wilno history as we taste various beers in preparation for our own custom Wilno brew. Our dedicated team of tasters included Pete and Mike and Corinne and Tom and we settled on a European style lager which will be called Wilno Heritage Beer....due to be launched on Father's Day weekend.

Another distinctive Wilno moment.

Robert Yeretch and Jon Whitehead

Our Mother's Day dinner was a wonderful success with Robert Yeretch performing....here his nephew Jon Whitehead joins in for a song. Mike and Diane Whitehead and Jon's girlfriend Mandy and her parents came down for the occassion. A good time was had by all!

Another pleasant evening with Ian Tamblyn on April 18.
We've had several evening of live music already since we opened in February....and we've been hosting Songwriter's Circle on Thursday nights and hope to make that a weekly event in the summer.

Ian played some great tunes from his Cd "Superior; spirit and light." Then we all sat up late with Pete!!

this little piggie....

Yes, we are raising these piggies for our kitchen! They are living happily at Pete's Pristinely Perfect Piggery and dining on Red Canoe Cafe scraps. One of them...the Princess Bride, we call her, is destined to be the centerpiece at Robin's September wedding.
Meet what you eat!
