Lisa and Courtney... scary, eh?


Here are some snapshots of activities in and around the Inn this past Halloween.  Lisa Rames rocked the front porch while local caspers, gouls and gobblins, witches, spidermen, and ironman approached to gather their treats.  Once again, well over 100 trick or treaters made their way up the sidewalk to the Grand Victorian porch.
