2005 Bridal Show
 On November 3, 2005, we appeared at our first Bridal Show, held at Old Brick Church in Iowa City.   Organized by Cynthia Betts, of IowaBride.com, it was a nice evening and a wonderful opportunity to meet new brides and their mothers. 
Why a bridal show?   We had 16 weddings during the summer of 2005 -- without advertising!  Almost by accident, the community has discovered that our little inn is absolutely perfect for housing a wedding party in comfort and style!
