Favorite Place for Brunch

White Pines InnSometimes it is hard to break

with tradition but that is exactlywhat White Pines restaurant owner,Beth Henderson has decided todo for the 2016 season. “We haveso many exciting changes to telleveryone about,” she said, andquickly added, “but continuing too!er the same delicious Americanafood we have always served willnot change.”After more than a quarter of a

century the bu!et’s appearance isgetting a facelift this spring whichincludes a handsome 24 foot long,cherry wood, live edge table topand vintage minor’s lighting aboveto create a rustic and historic feel.All new stainless cha"ng dishes willadd a modern twist blending theold with the new. When the bu!etis over, the space is e#cientlytransformed for the afternoon withpub tables and bar stools into awelcoming bar complete with craft

beers and Bloody Mary Sundayhouse specialties.

Along with the new look,Henderson has decided therestaurant will no longer o!er thedinner portion of the bu!et andbreakfast will be extended untilnoon. She explained, “I think timeshave changed and going out for ahuge meal on Sunday afternoonisn’t the direction people aretaking any more and the cost of adinner bu!et is not friendly on thepocket book either. Being activeoutdoors is so popular and eatinglighter is what is being promotedeverywhere. We o!er both thegreat outdoors with miles of hikingtrails and a new menu with a saladbar and many of the customer’sfavorites like the Chicken Pot Pieand Meatloaf Platter along with aprice tag much lower than the olddinner bu!et.”Whitepinesinn.com

In April 2014 we opened TheRusty Fox Wine & Alehouse,and have been blown awayby the response. Premieringthis year as your Favorite Bar/Tavern is a lot of pressure,but we’re confident we canremain one of your favoritevenues as we continue torefine our line-up of craftbeers and wines, arrange fun

special events, and probablyhang some more fox stuff onthe walls.

Private Events at the RustyFox surged this year withseveral groups opting tohave their birthday parties,retirement parties, holidayparties, baby showers,wedding showers andfundraisers at The Rusty Fox.With the resources we’ve puttogether at the Air Play Bakerywe’re able to cater your partywith light meals and horsd’oeuvres for up to 30 people,as well as our famous cheeseand salami plates.
