HAT - 25th Anniversary Annual Conference

For all of you current Innkeepers and aspiring Innkeepers mark you calendars for August 24, 25 & 26 for the 25th Anniversary Annual HAT Conference. This year this wonderful event will be held in Georgetown Texas at the Wyndham and Williamson Conference Center.

I have attended the HAT conference every year since 2000, even before I became a member of the organization. Every year I look forward to this opportunity the learn more about my industry, but even more than that I look forward to enteracting with other Innkeepers. I always learn something from just visiting with them.

There is also a wonderful Trade Show in conjuction with the Conference and I always find vendors that I need to be doing business with.

Blue Bell Commercial

Back in April we were so excited to be included in the many locations used to film Blue Bell Ice Cream commercials. They used the front porch of Ingleside to film a couple of the scenes. We can't wait to see the finished product.

118th Maifest - German Fun

The 118th Annual Maifest was held Mother's Day weekend and was a huge success. The most fun for guests at Ingleside is to be able to sit on the front porch and watch as the floats arrive and then start to fill with all of the wonderful costumed children. Then you get to watch the parade go right past your front row seat.

This year I had guests who came to Brenham for other reasons, not knowing about Maifest. They had such a good time that they booked their room for next Mother's Day weekend for two nights instead of one.

If you enjoy good German food, fun German music and costumes in all the colors of the rainbow, then next year you need to join us for the 119th Annual Maifest.

We are so proud of this small town tradition and would love for more non local people to have the chance to experience it. See you next year!!!
