Rainfest and Happy Easter!

It is a beautiful day in Forks today! What a way to kick off the Rainfest celebration. The coast clean up started this morning and we have guests participating in that. Thank you! The Forks High School Drama club is presenting a preview of their spring production, today. Main performances will be next weekend. The Olympic Peninsula Guide Association is sponsoring free river float trips and root beer floats today. And there will film showings at the Rainforest Art Center this evening. Next weekends activities will include a quilt show, the High School Musical production of the Adam's Family and a book sale at the library. We have rooms available both Friday the 26th and Saturday the 27th, so come on over to the Miller Tree Inn and enjoy the fun.

Wishing you all a blessed Easter from all of us at the Miller Tree Inn.

Happy Easter!

Tomorrow is Easter and the hard boiled egg Easter bunnies are  in the refrigerator getting ready to make an appearance on everyone's breakfast plate in the morning.  They will be served along side Orange Croissant French Toast and glazed beef sausage.

Other happenings in April:  The new Rainforest Arts Center is set for a grand opening the weekend of April 18.  Live performances and movies are on the agenda for that weekend, which also happens to be Rainfest.  Look for the "Fabric of the Forest" quilt show, as well as quilting classes.  More information about these events can be found on the Forks Chamber of Commerce website at:  www.forkswa.com

Innkeeper Bill, is looking forward to April 25 when the Forks Elks Lodge is hosting all the Forks classes of the 1970's for the 2nd Annual 70's Reunion.  The cost is $20 per person and includes food all day long.  If you are a graduate of Forks High School in the 1970's, this is the event for you.

Mick Dodge Comes to the Miller Tree Inn

Anyone that is a fan of the National Geographic program "The Legend of Mick Dodge," would have enjoyed being with us for breakfast yesterday.  Mick came and had breakfast at the inn with a few of his friends.  It was very nice to have him join us and he even made the day of one of our former guests by talking to him on the telephone.

The weather continues to be warm, though we did have a little rain this week and more predicted for the weekend. 

Lots of things are still to come this spring in the Forks area.  Next weekend will be the annual QVSD Scholarship Auction.  Always a lively time and a great fund raiser for the Forks High School graduates.

In April we will look forward to Rainfest and the opening of the new Arts Center. 

Come take advantage of our beautiful spring weather and the events in the area.

April 2014

The calendar says it is spring, but the temperatures this week have been pretty cold.  We had 3 lovely days of sunshine before the rain came back, so that is pretty typical spring weather for Forks.

We had a house full of young, wonderful, creative and energetic guests this week.  Once we have been given the go ahead, we will write more about them.  For right now, we will say that it made for a fun and exciting week for us.

We also had a lovely couple visit us from France, so Bill got out the French flag and put it up to welcome them.
Rainfest is coming up later this month.  The Quilt Club will be having classes and a quilt show April 25 - 27.  It is always a hit with guests.  There are usually other activities around town that weekend, too.  The Forks High graduating classes of the 70's are having a joint all day reunion at the Elks Club.  Peninsula College also usually hosts an event.  For other happenings please see the Forks Chamber of Commerce website at:  www.forkswa.com

We still have lots of availability for April and May.  Please come and see us!

Rainfest in Forks

Rainfest Weekend in the Land of Twilight

Saturday, April 16, 2011

It is raining in Forks today, so that must mean that our annual Rainfest celebration is in full swing. There will be an umbrella parade at noon and tonight at 6:30 PM there is program scheduled on the topic of a Russian shipwreck from many years ago.

We have a group of Fiber Artists taking classes this weekend. They spent the day in Neah Bay, yesterday looking at artifacts at the Makah Cultural Center and helping the staff identify some tools that would have been used in weaving. They are being hosted by the Quilleute Tribe tomorrow. This group of Fiber Artists have been spending the evenings taking in the Twilight movie saga in our common area.

There are also quilt making classes this weekend and a quilt show.
