 HAPPY ST. CATRICK'S DAY!
March 17th is little Mingtoy's 1st Birthday. Little Ming's mother was abandoned in a cardboard box in the parking lot of our local Westside Animal Hospital. Just a few days later, she gave birth to a healthy litter of kittens and innkeeper Sallie Clark, visited her when she was just one day old. Mingtoy was the only all black kitten in the bunch. Having lost our 16 year-old Mingtoy the year before and knowing that Mei-Lin needed a companion to keep her company, we waited 8 weeks and adopted our new furr-ball kitten. She'll be wearing her beautiful green eyes in honor of the official day. Mingtoy is 6th in a long line of Ming dynasty's. We accommodate cat lovers, but also offer pet-free lodging in the Carriage House (Silverton and Goldfield) and Independence suites for those with allergies. Meet our InnCats Mingtoy and Mei-Lin.
Pikes Peak Area Upcoming Events
It's a hot time in the old town tonight! Colorado Springs and  the Pikes Peak Area has something for everyone. Check out our many arts and culture events starting with Ain't Misbehavin' on April 1-2, a musical revue and outrageously prodigious comic and musical soul of the 1930's. Harlem lives on in this rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping revue that is still considered one of Broadway's best at the Pikes Peak Center for Performing Arts. April 3-11, The Thorn is a dramatic portrayal of the passion of Jesus Christ featuring live music, dance, aerial acrobatics, special effects and more. New Life Church's production of this play continues to evolve into a bigger and more dramatic spectacle each year, and 2009's presentation promises to please. Don't miss this unique theatrical event which tells "the greatest story of all time." Romance is the word for Cyrano de Bergerac and the UCCS Theaterworks April 23-May 17 Thursday, Friday and Saturdays presentation of the play with everything: swordfights, poetry, romance, French pastries, candlelight, and true panache. You’ll soar  with love’s wings up to Roxanne’s balcony, pass through the fierce and smoky battlefield, then fall into ravishing heartbreak at the close. The brilliant Cyrano has a fiery wit, a quick sword, an enormous heart, and another prominent feature you must never ever let him hear you mention.
