Saturday evening is the Belhaven Christmas parade, beginning at 5:30. You can park at Wine & Words/The Back Bay Cafe and walk a block to see the parade and hear the special music. Then come on back to warm up and have a lovely dinner. Some folks have already reserved tables, so call us soon and let us know you're coming.

As I came across the Pantego Creek Bridge this morning, the fog was so heavy that it looked like a "bridge to nowhere." Now there are some who say Belhaven is "nowhere." But you know it's the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow that's bound to be up there somewhere.

Saturday morning is the Washington Christmas Parade at 10:00. We'll be open and you're welcome to park in the city lot behind our store and come through to Main Street (you can't miss our new sign). Merchants will be having a Sidewalk Sale, but we'll be staying inside with hot cider and wine tasting of our special Holiday Wine Specials.

While you're downtown, don't miss the Holiday Arts & Craft Show from 9:00 until 5:00, the Spirit of Washington cruise ship open house from 2 until 4, and the Turnage Home Tour from 2-7.
