SPRING IS HERE

Although there still is a bit of chill in the air, nevertheless the sun is out shininh bright on Cape Cod and SPRING is officially here today on March 20, 2013. Besides saying goodbye to the cold days, snow and putting away the heavy sweaters and bulky jackets, the start of Spring on Cape Cod brings along the start of many events & activities to look forward too. In Spring the scenery can be just as stunning as summertime, and there are plenty of fun things to do and places to dine and shop.

 

 

A few places opening in Spring:

 

Pirate’s Cove Adventure Golf

There’s just something so beachside summer vacation about mini-golf. Cape Cod has scads of courses and Pirate’s Cove is one of the most popular with its splashing water falls and sculpted ‘mountains’.Children between the ages of 3-10 are the perfect age for this thrillseeking, treasure hunting voyage into Hyannis Harbor. Once aboard the Sea Gypsu every child will be transformed into an official member of the Sea Gypsy Crew. With painted faces and donned sashes your little mate will be ready for adventure aboard our working pirate ship. The Activity is nonstop, with flags to hoist , water cannons to blast, and maps to read, there is no time for lolligagin!Take your kids on an old-fashioned, swashbuckling adventure they’ll be spinning yarns about for years to come, Open Memorial Day. 728 Route 28, South Yarmouth; 508-394-6200 or 508-394-5252.

Art’s Dune Tours

Already in existence when the Cape Cod National Seashore was created, Art’s was grandfathered and they’re now the only ones allowed to drive in several protected Provincetown beach areas. Take the one hour tour along the coast and into the spectacular dunes or go with the sunset tour or a clambake, a lighthouse tour or a surf-fishing tour. Rates start at $25 for adults and $17 for kids. Offered mid-April through Halloween. Visit www.artsdunetours.com for details. 4 Standish St., Provincetown; 508-487-1950.

The Cape Cod Winery

Sure, the Cape is known for its exceptional seafood, but wine? This local vineyard proves that our sandy peninsula has got the goods to both dine and wine. Several varietals, ranging from Nobska Red (a Cabernet blend) to a delicious Cranberry Chardonnay, are produced from the estate-grown grapes. Stop in any time for tastings, May through December, or a tour of the winery on Saturdays at 2:00 p.m. in the summer months. 681 Sandwich Rd., East Falmouth; 508-457-5592.

Employee Appreciation Day

 

 

"No business achieves success without the help of their team of employees.

They are the ones who make the success possible."

 

We are truly grateful and appreciative for our team here at the Lighthouse Inn, and certainly recognize the hard work they put in every year. We have a mix of seasonal employees, who work during the season from May to October, as well as a select few who are working diligently year round, preparing for each upcoming season. We certainly could not do without everyone, working together towards the same goal of 'providing the best hospitality to our guests and patrons'.

 

Take the time to give recognition and show appreciation towrds your team,

whether in a big or small way....

 A simple goes a long way....

 

 

Ever wonder when Employee Appreciation Day began? Employee Appreciation Day first arrived on calendars in 1995. A Recognition Professionals International’s founding Board member, together with his publishing company, Workman Publishing, created Employee Appreciation Day as a way of focusing the attention of all employers, in all industries on employee recognition. It is always the first Friday in March.

 

To our fantastic previous & present employees over the past 75 years of service.... Thank you from The Lighthouse Inn
