New Life to Old Store - Huffman House Holiday Bazaar

Back in November the Huffman House held a Holiday Bazaar in the old Historic Huffman Store on Rte 42 in Newport, VA.  The store was alive with artists, weavers, candle makers, potters and quilters.  The Huffman Store closed in 1977.  It was then owned by Fulton & Virginia Huffman.  We (Carol & Ron Baker), owners since 2003, have always wanted to see the store open again.  The weekend went very well and was enjoyed by both the vendors and the local residents.  It was great to see the shelves stocked once again.

Veteran's Day Special

The Huffman House was honored to have three veterans and their families for a free overnight stay to thank them for their service to our country.  The veterans enjoyed relaxing with each other and sharing stories and memories.
They lingered over breakfast for many hours.

Inn to Inn Cookie Trail

The Huffman House will be participating in the Inn To Inn Cookie Trail on November 19 & 20, from 1 PM to 4 PM.  Tickets are $12.00 per person ($15 at door). The purpose of the 'self-guided trail' is to showcase the area inns so that the public has an opportunity to see the uniqueness of each of the inns and what they offer.  The inns are all different which is what makes the bed and breakfast stay a true 'experience'. 
Inns participating are Clay Corner Inn/Blacksburg (Sunday only), King George Inn/Roanoke, Huffman House at Creekside Farm/Newport, Inn at Riverbend/Pearisburg (Sunday only),Maison Beliveau/Blacksburg-Catawba Valley, Mountain Song Inn/Willis & Oaks Victorian Inn/Christiansburg. 

The inns will offer cookies, punch, tours, cookie recipes, drawings for a  free one night stay.  Gift Certificates will be on sale for holiday gift giving. For tickets and trail map call 540-961-0505 or 540-789-3000.

The Huffman House will be hosting veterans again this year on the eve of Veterans Day.  We have a full house and are really looking forward to meeting our vets and their families.  The veterans will enjoy a free night's stay and a gourmet breakfast in the morning.  We are excited to be participating to show our support for our troops!

Local Artist holds Painting Workshop

One of our local Newport, VA artists, Robert Tuckwiller (www.tuckwiller.com) will hold a Painting Workshop this coming weekend, October 28 - 30, 2011, at his studio in Newport as well as here at the Historic Huffman House property.  It will be a weekend of personal instruction with one of Virginia's finest landscape artists. The workshop is open to anyone who would like to expand their artistic abilities and talent. Participants will be working 'plein air' at locations that have been especially selected to provide varied subject matter.  We are pleased that Robert will bring his students to our lovely property where the autumn colors are spectacular!
