We are completing the 2010 specialty events calendar and adding a whole host of new opportunities for our famous brunches, high 5 course dinner teas. When completed we will post at this site and www.thecanoncityqueenanne.com websites; as well as have printed copies which can be picked up outside by our front door or during a tea.

Our success and the continuation of the tea house is very dependent upon our customers and their word of mouth advertising with family, friends, acquaintances; please share your tea house experience.

Our 100+ year old tree, a fixture at the Queen Anne, which was hit by lightning last year, will be taken down by the City, this spring. While the loss of the shade is one thing, the loss of the picture framing of the structure is the worst. We have many tourists driving by, stopping and taking pictures of these two fine old victorian homes and our historic trees framed the Queen Anne pictures. The important part, taking it down will assure it will not fall into the house, veranda and it is dead at the top, dying at the bottom.
We will just have to find a new photo opportunity; oh, so we hear some people saying, “do a computerized, musically driven window light show,” ok, we are working on one.
