As the annual Thanksgiving holiday approaches we at The Rose Hotel are reminded of the thankfulness we feel for the many loyal guests who have turned our property into their home away from home over the years.

Repeat business is the ultimate compliment, and we have been blessed with a great number of regular guests, many of whom are readers of this blog. We would like to return the favor with our commitment of continued good service – and a gift certificate for one lucky drawing participant.

Specifically, we’re giving away a Night on the Town special, which includes:

  • One night’s accommodations in a Deluxe King room with whirlpool tub
  • Luxurious bath amenities featuring Organic Natural bath products
  • Rose Hotel bathrobes and slippers for use during your stay
  • $50 gift certificate for a downtown upscale restaurant
  • Chilled bottle of Champagne
  • Extensive continental breakfast with an eclectic menu
  • Day pass for Club Sport, a local full service athletic club

To successfully enter our drawing, come up with the correct answer to this question: why turkey is traditionally served on Thanksgiving Day? Then, email your answer to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and we will randomly pick a gift certificate winner from among the participants who send the correct answer.

Good luck to you.

We’ll announce the winner soon.

For the last 8 years the Rose Hotel has been one of our favorite spots to introduce out of town friends to. It’s a wonderful and gracious hotel with an amazing staff.

It is said noted in our history that William Bradford (of the Plymoth Plantation) said “there was great store of wild turkeys, of which they took many”.  Although it may have been part of the meals served this day…it may not have been “THE DISH”. Before Thanksgiving Day was named a National Holiday, one of our Founding Fathers, Alexander Hamilton,said that no “Citizen of the United States should refrain from turkey on Thanksgiving Day”.  So, there…personally, I think it’s the signature date to start plumping up to stay warm for the winter season!

Turkey was among the food items eaten at the First Thanksgiving celebration attended by the Pilgrims and Native Americans in 1621.  Traditions must start somewhere and sometime, and this staple of our U.S. day to pause and give thanks has endured.
