Angels on the Bluff

Hey everyone,

Fall Pilgrimage is coming, 23 Historic Homes available to tour. Some private homes that are not open to the public. Everyday different homes are available to tour. Fall weather is usually great in Natchez.

Then the Great Mississippi Balloon Races, October 15th, 16th and 17th. Most rooms are booked now well in advance but keep checking because there are always cancellations in the last 2 weeks. We have a wait list started and will gladly take your name and number. We also check with the other BnB's to see who has cancellations and may be able to get you a referral.

One of our favorite Natchez events is Angels on the Bluff, November 12th and 13th, to benefit the Natchez Cemetery. Local citizens and actors portray famous Natchez citizens from history along a path in the cemetery. The cemetery is lit by hundreds of luminaries. It's not scary at all. We have purchased some extra tickets, because the event always sells out. Call in advance for reservations and we'll supply the tickets. Or you may call the Natchez Tourist Center and reserve tickets directly. They are $20 each and proceeds go to the cemetery for upkeep.
Weather should be getting cooler soon. Natchez is a great place to visit for that weekend getaway or just a few days off. Call us and we will help you plan your weekend. www.bislandhouse.com 504-913-7498 601-304-5806

Summer in Natchez

Hey everyone, Summer is here and it is hot! My granddaughter Crista is spending some time with us this summer. Very excited about that! Scrap-n-on the river is coming up and it's indoors. July 22, 23, 24 at the Convention Center. Great Girlfriend Getaway! We are only a short walking distance to Convention Center. Full Breakfast included in your room rate.

The Natchez Food and Wine Fest is another fun event coming up. Byron and I went to the Wine, Beer and Food Tasting and it was well worth the ticket price. It's on Friday July 30th, with other events throughout the weekend. We can arrange everything for you.

In the near future, Angels on the Bluff, in November. Will keep you updated here or on the website http://www.bislandhouse.com. A not to miss event for all ages. Tickets do sell out, so watch out for the advance ticket sale start date. Until next time, Christine

Update

Hey Everyone,
Its been awhile since I was able to post a blog. Just retired from my full time job outside of the Bed and Breakfast. Looking forward to devoting all my energy to our Bisland House Bed and Breakfast. Lots of things going on in Natchez now. Pilgrimage is in full swing. We still have some openings for the weekdays. Visit Antebellum homes, take carriage rides, attend Natchez Little Theatre's Southern Exposure and the Natchez Pageant when you visit. Coming up we have the Natchez Bluff Blues Festival, Indian Pow Pow, and many other events. Check out our website and visitnatchez.org for more details. Hope to see you soon.
