Thanks, & a contest update:
Thanks to you all for a wonderful Fall Season. We now are looking forward to winter and holiday fun! We also enjoyed our recent PhotoBlog contest, and would like to reiterate a congratulations to Doug, our winner, who now is the proud owner of a stylish Follansbee Inn T-Shirt :-) Stay tuned for future contest fun . . .
"Green" Tip of the Month:
Apple Cider Vinegar . . . you know it has cooking uses, but did you know that it is an eco-friendly all-purpose cleaner as well? Use it as a rinse aid in the dishwasher, a laundry freshener, a disinfectant, and more. You can even use it as a personal deodorant, and for weeding in the garden! Thanks to Laura M. for this handy tip.
Gift Certificate Reminder:
Don't forget to check out the Winter Specials section of our website. And keep in mind our prettily-packaged Gift Certificates as you plan your holiday gifts . . . what better way to show your loved ones how much you care than to give some time with us?

A Follansbee Recipe:
As you plan your next stay with us, keep in mind that we offer apres-ski soups, bread, and dessert. Along with our beer and wine bar, it makes our Ski Free package a thoroughly enjoyable treat! This soup is one of our favorites, and it also makes a terrific first-course for your holiday meals!
