If Mama’s Not Happy, Nobody’s Happy!

April 28th, 2008

Mother’s Day is right around the corner and if you believe in the title of this blog, “If Mama’s Not Happy, Nobody’s Happy”, then you better start thinking about what you’re going to do for your mom on May 11th.  It’s one day a year that we really honor and celebrate motherhood and in my humble opinion (being a mom myself), it’s not enough!  However, besides the fact that you should be nice to your mother everyday, we’ll happily accept the one day a year where we get the national recognition that we so deserve.

For Mother’s Day, most mother’s just want a day off - from cleaning, cooking, working, being a chauffeur and referee and the dozens of other things moms do.  A day of pampering is the perfect “thank you” to any mom and Elk Creek Vineyards is just the spot!  We have the perfect way to give your mom the recognition she deserves.  This year show her how much she means to you by giving her a week-end of pampering.  Quiet dinners, soothing massage and wonderful wine in a down home southern atmosphere - what more could a mother ask for?  It’s the perfect Mother’s Day gift!

If a weekend trip isn’t in your schedule then don’t worry, Elk Creek Vineyard’s Mother’s Day Dinner on Sunday May 11th at 6:30pm is just for you.   Chef Matt Falcone of Bayou Bluegrass Catering will be offering an amazing four course dinner with a different wine served with each course.  Now what mother wouldn’t love that?

This Mother’s Day make Mama happy by taking her to Elk Creek Vineyards - remember, “If Mama’s Happy, Everybody’s Happy” – and believe me, she’ll be happy!

Go Fly A Kite!

April 21st, 2008

Has anyone ever said to you, “Go fly a kite?”  Well, on Saturday May 10th at Elk Creek Vineyards you can do just that!  Pigs Aloft Kite Club of Cincinnati will be on hand to help kids and adults experience the fun in flying kites.  Did you know that Pigs Aloft stands for “People interested in getting stuff” aloft – pretty cool huh?  I can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon then with my family enjoying beautiful weather outside flying kites, listening to great live entertainment and treating myself to some fine eats!

Not only will there be kites flying but some great live bands will be playing on our outdoor Amphitheater as well.  There will be music for everyone’s taste:

  • Owen County High School Band 
  • Wiley McDermott and the Roadrunners playing rock-n-roll
  • Garrick Howell AND Highway 330 Band playing country
  • Bowling Middle School chorus

With all that entertainment you can’t go wrong!  Plus if you don’t want to fly just any kite but love the idea of making your own, you can do just that!  For only $10 you can design and make your own kite to fly and it all benefits The American Cancer Society, Relay for Life.   Believe me your kids will love making their own kite and you’ll love knowing you’ve helped a great cause!

So grab your calendars and on the date Saturday, May 10th write “Go fly a kite at Elk Creek“!  Oh, and by the way … you can also sample the Elk Creek Kentucky Wine too.
