Vine Run 2010

Run for Wine 2010

: Vine Run 2010

Wow, what a fine group of athletes! Half- Marathon runners. All sizes, ages, level of fitness… all up at the crack of dawn to enjoy the Oregon wine countryside. We stood by the great fir trees by our driveway to cheer them on… they smiled back & said thanks for coming out to support THEM… can you believe? Our own B & B hosted runners.. at 0515 we served coffee, juices, bananas, cold cereals, baked healthful oatmeal (with nuts, chopped apples & craisins), blueberry muffins and morning glory muffins… bowl of fresh cherries… mmmm..

Now on to the celebration with liquid fruit of the vine.. wine tasting festivities in Carlton, “Who’s on Third” in downtown McMinnville, and continuing with most wineries through the long holiday weekend.

Hopefully this inaugural event will continue annually.

Flamingo Invasion in OR Wine Country

lobenhaus — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 05:19:59 +0000

Birds of a feather.....

Nummy bugs

The Lobenhaus Bed & Breakfast gardens have been ”flocked” !! Magically, dozens of pink flamingos appeared among the flowers, by the waterfall…. all over the lawn. What a novel idea. Students from a local group is raising money to fund their trip next spring. For a small or (generous) donation they are happy to move the birds on to your friend’s yard to be “flocked”. Our B & B guests got a big kick out of the lawn decor! Several folks borrowed the idea to use in their own fund-raising projects.

“Fifty Years of Turkey Fun!”

Turkey Rama, McMinnville’s favorite annual summer festival will be held Friday & Saturday, July 9-10, 2010. One of McMinnville’s oldest traditions, Turkey Rama is celebrating its 50th year in 2010…so make plans now to join us!

Each year thousands of people flock to McMinnville for the food, fun and entertainment of Turkey Rama. The community festival observes the historical importance of the once-thriving turkey business in the surrounding county—the turkey farms are gone, but Turkey Rama lives on!

The McMinnville Area Chamber of Commerce and the McMinnville Downtown Association are partnering once again to present the 2010 festivities which will feature the “World’s Largest Turkey BBQ,” the Downtown Festival in Historic Downtown McMinnville, the Turkey Trot (8K Race/2M Walk), the Biggest Turkey Contest, a Community Sock Hop, and much more! For more information, please contact the McMinnville Area Chamber of Commerce at 503-472-6196.

McMinnville is located on Highway 99W, 35 miles southwest of Portland and 25 miles northwest of Salem.

Downtown Festival: Historic Downtown McMinnville will once again be filled with sidewalk sales, vendor booths, music and a variety of entertainment and fun activities for the whole family. Downtown activities will be open 11 AM to 10 PM on Friday and 10 AM to 8 PM on Saturday.
The World’s Largest Turkey BBQ: For those looking for good barbecued turkey, McMinnville is the place! Once again this year we will grill over 5 tons of turkey on Saturday, July 10, 11 AM to 6 PM. Live music and entertainment will also be featured in Wortman Park during the BBQ.

The barbecue features fresh barbecued turkey, prepared on-site. Guests can order a turkey dinner or a fully cooked barbecued turkey-half to take home. Turkey dinners include a generous portion of turkey, potato salad and coleslaw, dinner roll, watermelon, cake and soft drink. Turkey dinners are $12 for adults, $8 for seniors and $6 for children.

Fully cooked barbecued turkey halves are $15 each. Turkey halves can be purchased at four locations around town—the BBQ site at Wortman Park (11 AM until sold out), Town Center/Rite-Aid (9 AM to 2 PM), Lowe’s Home Improvement parking lot (10 AM to 3 PM), and at the Downtown Information Booth (Noon until sold out).

Biggest Turkey Contest: This perennial community favorite is a fundraising competition that benefits local charities. This year’s talent show—a grand finale to the competition—will be held on the Downtown Main Stage at 6 PM.

Memorable Breakfast at Lobenhaus B & B

lobenhaus — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 05:12:19 +0000

A very special long weekend to remember those – living and many who have died so we may live in freedom. A 48 star flag “flies” proudly on our wall… my father died serving in the Army in WW II.

48 Star Memorial Flag

Memorial weekend marks the beginning of our 10 th season at the B & B. Breakfast included…Freedom Waffles topped with Old Glory Fruit ( Red strawberries, White whipped cream, Blueberries), Huevos Americana (crustless quiche), Uncle Sam sausages (grilled chicken/apple) and Justice Juice (toasted our anniversary with Mimosas, made with our local Argyle Brut). A house full of wonderful guests made the celebration more meaningful.

Cycling in Oregon Wine Country

lobenhaus — Sun, 16 May 2010 22:54:40 +0000

Tandem Cyclists

Recent guests from the East Coast showed us the very best way to see the country is on a bicycle. This adventuresome couple brought their tandem bike on the airplane – all apart in its special case. They rode about 30 miles each day – in 10 mile increments – stopping to allow for breaks in the weather, to meet & chat with the locals, to smell the “roses”, and to taste some fine wine. They even took the Wheatland Ferry across the Willamette River to a wonderful park on the other side.

We were honored to host them at our Bed & Breakfast for 5 days…. more proof only the best guests stay at B & B s.
