As always, the house was happily full. Many of our guests have been welcoming the New Year at RHI for several years (10 - 20 years for some). Others experienced their first RHI New Year celebration. In a blink of an eye, they were warmly welcomed to joined in the fun. It's often been said, "New Year is a 3-4 day event at Rabbit Hill Inn".  It's true. It's more than just champagne and a fun party on the 31st (and it is ALL that!). More so, it's a very special experience, where guests unwind and reflect on the year past, celebrate the incoming New Year in style, and then savor their getaway time with relaxed anticipation of the year ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From morning to night, the common rooms are filled with genuine conversation and laughter. Yet, quiet and relaxed moments magically appear too. Friendships, old and new, are nurtured and enjoyed. It's not intrusive or "too much". It naturally is "just right" for each one's desire. Do I dare say " perfect"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From our perspective, this warm ambiance is exactly what Rabbit Hill Inn is all about. Here, it doesn't take a holiday to create such a setting. It just happens organically - every day. And for this, we are so very grateful. Thank you for helping us create this chemistry that sets RHI apart from so many others. You help us make this dear home the special place that it truly is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Our entire Rabbit Hill Inn family wishes you a wonderful 2010, filled with many blessings and answered prayers. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4659462664492405659-4588365845596469795?l=www.rabbithillinn.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/2010/01/just-little-new-years-message.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Rabbit Hill Inn)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659462664492405659.post-8419886831466219230</guid><pubDate>Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:55:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-11-23T15:49:27.575-08:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Christmas cookie recipe</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Vermont weekend getaway</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>romantic getaway</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>easy cookie recipe</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>holiday cookie recipe</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Vermont bed and breakfast inn</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Rabbit Hill Inn</category><title>Terrific Holiday Cookie Recipe - Quick, Easy, Oh So Delicious!</title><description>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;Maple Apple Cranberry Cookies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yield: 2 dozen.

Travel + Leisure Magazine lists Rabbit Hill Inn - TOP 100 HOTELS WORLDWIDE!</title><description>It's been way too long since our last blog entry. August was an exciting month for us here at Rabbit Hill Inn. In the next few entries, we'll try to catch up a little. Here's our first big big story... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Rabbit Hill Inn is ranked among the TOP 100 HOTELS WORLDWIDE by &lt;em&gt;Travel + Leisure Magazine&lt;/em&gt;! And rated #1 country inn in the United States!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The August issue of &lt;em&gt;Travel + Leisure&lt;/em&gt; reported the results of their &lt;a href="http://www.travelandleisure.com/worldsbest/2009/"&gt;14th annual survey of the top 100 hotels worldwide&lt;/a&gt;... and there we were, with a handsome score of 91.19. It placed us #52 on the list. Needless to say, we were thrilled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/uploaded_images/2009-TL-BEST-AWARDS-LOGO-742420.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 194px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/uploaded_images/2009-TL-BEST-AWARDS-LOGO-742403.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To make things even more exciting, this score put Rabbit Hill Inn in the &lt;strong&gt;number-one position among all inns and small hotels in the United States&lt;/strong&gt;. Only three U.S. country inns made it onto the esteemed &lt;em&gt;Travel + Leisure&lt;/em&gt; List.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are very proud to be in such fine company with the most distinctive hotels, resorts, and inns worldwide! Knowing that chateaus, safari clubs, and island resorts were included in the list, it's quite a humbling notion to be ranked among the best in the world. The spotlight shines brightly on this sweet inn in this tiny village. Our sincere thanks to &lt;em&gt;Travel + Leisure &lt;/em&gt;and their readership for this amazing honor.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4659462664492405659-9144658065414500696?l=www.rabbithillinn.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/2009/09/big-news-travel-leisure-magazine-lists.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Rabbit Hill Inn)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659462664492405659.post-6422324045781380854</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 Jul 2009 21:39:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-17T16:40:24.447-07:00</atom:updated><title>Try This Delicious Summer Soup Recipe!</title><description>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Guests were tapping on the kitchen door last night asking for the recipe.

Everyone always says..."&lt;em&gt;we just have to see some covered bridges while we're here&lt;/em&gt;!" And it's true - covered bridges are a trademark of Vermont. These amazing structures are a unique feature of the Vermont landscape, taking us back to a distant time and place. And there are more covered bridges per square mile in Vermont than any other place in the world, with 107 authentic covered bridges located throughout the state. In nearby, New Hampshire, there are several others to see. A photographer's delight, for sure. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Your cost for this glorious day - $0. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here's a peek at what you'll see here - &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHUw9ezPjgY&amp;amp;feature=channel_page"&gt;watch video&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4659462664492405659-7669230746775276829?l=www.rabbithillinn.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/2009/06/freebie-friday-enjoy-vermont-fun-for.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Rabbit Hill Inn)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659462664492405659.post-4319278816797075157</guid><pubDate>Sun, 21 Jun 2009 14:55:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-23T05:56:08.297-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Cabot Cheese</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Zipline in New England</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>short vacation getaway</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>New England Summer getaway</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Vermont Wineries</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Vermont romantic getaway</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Stave Puzzles</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Rabbit Hill Inn bed and breakfast</category><title>The Perfect Short Vacation in Vermont</title><description>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/uploaded_images/Copy-of-Guests-Alex-Lori-Skucas-at-STAVE-725118.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 199px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 182px" alt="" src="http://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/uploaded_images/Copy-of-Guests-Alex-Lori-Skucas-at-STAVE-725116.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Meet Alex &amp;amp; Lori. They were anxious to escape Manhattan and all the stress that comes along with busy city life. Off to Rabbit Hill they went, for a perfect 3 day Vermont vacation. They wanted to do it all... adventurous fun, countryside drives, "Vermonty" things, visit the wonderful folks at &lt;a href="http://www.stave.com/"&gt;Stave Puzzles&lt;/a&gt;, and yet, have time to relax and do as many Stave puzzles as possible, and &lt;em&gt;maybe&lt;/em&gt; squeeze in a little "do nothing" time. Three days... hmmmm... is it possible??? Absolutely! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;They crafted the perfect plan and proved it &lt;em&gt;very&lt;/em&gt; possible. Here's how they did it...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Day One&lt;/strong&gt; - Enjoyed a leisurely drive to Rabbit Hill Inn, arriving in the evening, and cozied into their luxury suite.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Day Two&lt;/strong&gt; - A day in the Kingdom&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Enjoyed a full breakfast (by candlelight)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Drove to Norwich to visit the infamous STAVE Puzzle Shop. They have been addicted to &lt;strong&gt;Stave puzzles&lt;/strong&gt; for so long it was time to meet the folks behind these tormenting treasures.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Wandered the &lt;strong&gt;backroads of the Northeast Kingdom&lt;/strong&gt; countryside. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Visited &lt;strong&gt;Cabot Cheese factory&lt;/strong&gt; (&lt;em&gt;tasting room was the best part&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Visited &lt;strong&gt;Grand View Winery&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;amp; tasted several lovely wines (a few bottles made it to the car). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Stopped at &lt;strong&gt;Braggs Maple Syrup Farm&lt;/strong&gt;. Learned all about the process, from tapping to boiling (&lt;em&gt;again, a few bottles made it into the car&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Wandered off to &lt;strong&gt;Barre&lt;/strong&gt; and found an "outstanding lunch spot".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Returned home to Rabbit Hill to relax, soak in the whirlpool tub.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Wrapped up the day with a glorious dinner at the Inn, some fine wine, and puzzled the night away in our Snooty Fox Pub. &lt;em&gt;Alex &amp;amp; Lori were in charge of "lights out" that night.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Day Three&lt;/strong&gt; - The adrenaline rush!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;A Full breakfast prepared them for the adventurous day ahead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Off&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; to &lt;strong&gt;Alpine Adventures&lt;/strong&gt; for a heart racing &lt;strong&gt;ZIPLINE&lt;/strong&gt; tour.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;While the blood was still pumping, they headed to the &lt;strong&gt;local gym&lt;/strong&gt; for a great workout.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Returned home to the inn, simmered down for well-earned &lt;strong&gt;IN-ROOM MASSAGES. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Spent the duration of the day "in the zone" with long soaks in the double whirlpool, and reading on the porch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The grand finale -- another outstanding dinner at the inn, more fine wine, and more puzzling into the night. &lt;em&gt;We're not kidding...those Stave puzzles are addictive&lt;/em&gt;. Guess who was in charge of "lights out" again?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Day Four&lt;/strong&gt; - Upon a sad departure, they left us saying... "We'll be back in the winter for skiing!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The result: &lt;strong&gt;the perfect short vacation&lt;/strong&gt;. Well, done Alex &amp;amp; Lori. Can't wait to welcome you "back home" when the snow flies. You'll always be in charge of "lights out". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4659462664492405659-4319278816797075157?l=www.rabbithillinn.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/2009/06/perfect-short-vacation-in-vermont.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Rabbit Hill Inn)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659462664492405659.post-8157037841929614984</guid><pubDate>Sat, 20 Jun 2009 16:06:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-21T16:22:19.307-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Vermont romantic getaway weekend</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>rice crispy recipe</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Scallop recipe</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>short vacation getaway</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>shellfish recipes</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Vermont bed and breakfast inn</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Rabbit Hill Inn bed and breakfast</category><title>Rice Crispy Encrusted Scallops...really????</title><description>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/uploaded_images/DSCN0650-734024.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 164px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/uploaded_images/DSCN0650-734017.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This might sound a bit wacky, but guests absolutely LOVE it.

I'm talking about &lt;em&gt;real &lt;/em&gt;activities, not just strolling through a gift shop.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;This week, we introduce you to the internationally noted &lt;strong&gt;DOG MOUNTAIN&lt;/strong&gt;. If you are an animal lover (or just an animal liker), you will be amused, entertained, and deeply touched by this place. Here you will discover Stephen Huneck's Gallery, the famous Dog Chapel and glorious hiking trails of Dog Mountain (great place for a picnic). You'll probably meet Stephen and his wife, Gwen. &lt;a href="http://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/uploaded_images/twitter-786776.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 130px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 76px" alt="" src="http://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/uploaded_images/twitter-786774.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your cost $0&lt;/strong&gt;.

This includes dairy, produce, herbs, poultry, and meats. Seafood is premium catch from Browne Trading on the coast of Maine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vermont's Northeast Kingdom is mostly unspoiled countryside, rich with farmers who proudly provide us with endless varieties of everything. Chef Matt visits select farms and farmers markets daily for product harvested just a few hours before. Our farmers are always at the kitchen door delivering the "best of the day". As a result, our Four Diamond cuisine is truly extraordinary. Menus revolve around the farmers offerings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/uploaded_images/Farmer-Jill1-742071.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/uploaded_images/Farmer-Jill1-742066.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;During your next visit, join Chef Matt at the Farmers Market and learn how to be a locavore shopper. Or, if you prefer, visit one of our local farmers. We guarantee, you'll be taking a taste of Vermont back home with you. Some plan in advance and take coolers. And don't forget the locally roasted coffees, artisan cheeses, chocolates, jarred and canned treats, flowers, plants, and fine crafts. It's all here. It's all delicious. Be sure to meet Jill from Gourmet Gardens -&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe this is why Vermont is one of the TOP 3 HEALTHIEST STATES IN THE USA! Not that we're bragging. So when you come to visit...bring your appetite. You DON'T want to miss this. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4659462664492405659-7838261510203095419?l=www.rabbithillinn.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/2009/05/vermont-locavore-chef-goes-farm-fresh.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Rabbit Hill Inn)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659462664492405659.post-7239543130453281467</guid><pubDate>Sat, 25 Apr 2009 16:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-04-26T13:47:39.584-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>pink slip getaway</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>romantic getaway</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>westward one</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>america in the morning</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Jim Bohannon</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Rabbit Hill Inn</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Vermont bed and breakfast</category><title>WOW!

We got a call from the producer of the &lt;strong&gt;Jim&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Bohanon Show/America In The Morning&lt;/strong&gt; - Westward One's award-winning radio news magazine. The show broadcasts from Washington D.C. and is syndicated across the US.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;They heard about the "Pink Slip" Giveaway and wanted to share the story with their nationwide listening audience. The piece aired in a few time slots and before you know it, we heard from folks from Scranton, PA to Las Vegas, NV.  It was an amazing opportunity, for sure. Our heartfelt thanks to Jim Bohannon and Tom Delach for helping us share the news!

Certainly more excitement than we're used to around here. On Wednesday, 3/24, reporter, Ben Kennedy from FOX44 News came to film an interview regarding our &lt;a href="http://www.rabbithillinn.com/PR7.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pink Slip Getaway Giveaway&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. His producer learned of our Giveaway and insisted that it be on the air that night! "Finally, a positive story! We could not pass this up!", said the producer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ben did a wonderful job telling our story and sharing the details of the Giveaway with their viewership. FOX44 News aired the story that night at 7pm, 10pm, and again at 7:30am the following morning. Thanks Ben!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it didn't end there... at 7:30, on the same night, Rabbit Hill Inn appeared on national TV, on the &lt;strong&gt;Wheel of Fortune&lt;/strong&gt;. The scheduling was purely coincidental. Fox News had no idea about "The Wheel".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one took home the 6 night Rabbit Hill Inn vacation prize that night. But the Inn sure did look great in the promo film clip. Many thanks to Spreading Flames Media for the terrific video! If permission is granted by Sony Productions, we'll show the film clip on our website. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4659462664492405659-5274336817039800123?l=www.rabbithillinn.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/2009/03/rabbit-hill-inn-appears-on-fox-44-news.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Rabbit Hill Inn)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659462664492405659.post-8555933710404108845</guid><pubDate>Sun, 15 Mar 2009 15:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-03-17T16:20:15.706-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>pink slip getaway</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>romantic getaway</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>New England vacation</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Vermont bed and breakfast inn</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Rabbit Hill Inn</category><title>"Pink Slip Getaway Giveaway" ~ Rabbit Hill Inn gives a break to unemployed.</title><description>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Rabbit Hill Inn is giving away (6) two-night getaways to couples dealing with the anxiety of unemployment. Why? Because we are tired of all the negative news! As unemployment rates are skyrocket,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; we asked ourselves, "&lt;em&gt;How can we make a difference&lt;/em&gt;?" We can't change the economic climate, but we can soothe the souls of others who find themselves suddenly caught up in the nightmare of job loss.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/uploaded_images/couple-strolling-summer-743750.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 147px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://www.rabbithillinn.com/blog/uploaded_images/couple-strolling-summer-743737.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We know first hand the challenges of being unemployed. For a few years, back in the 90's, we were in the same boat. We remember the intensity of that stress and its effects on a relationship so our compassion goes out these people. A relaxing getaway is needed &lt;strong&gt;now&lt;/strong&gt; more than ever. They may have the time, but not the money.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;A free Rabbit Hill getaway is the perfect remedy - allowing couples to unwind and turn their back on the daily grind for a couple of precious days to focus on each other. Hopefully, they leave re-energized, emotionally stronger, and ready to conquor the challenge of a job search.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;If you know someone who has been unemployed for more than six months and can really use a break, urge them to enter the "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rabbithillinn.com/PR7.html"&gt;Pink Slip Getaway Giveaway&lt;/a&gt;".&lt;/strong&gt; Click the link and learn the details on how to enter.
