We've missed the dining room experience that ended when the Tuttles sold the lodge and will be happy to be patrons. Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks when my husband threatens the fish and I get some serious reading done!

We discussed it last evening and we agree with the earlier postings that Friday night would be a good family dinner night. The majority of guests are preparing to pack up for home over the weekend and food supplies are usually running low. With the lodge picnic on Monday, Wednesday may be a good choice for a more formal dining experience. However, Tuesdays are generally the slowest days in the restaurant business and may be more acceptable to the restaurant/chef. I would love to see at least one cooking class for high school age and older. After seeing that Chez Jude was cooking over the winter, I contact them about classes they offer in the summer and was told that the cooking courses are taught out of the area in the summer. If not Chez Jude maybe another person. Thanks for all you do for your guests! Mary Anne Andrews Having dinners in the summer is a great idea!

I was there the end of Feb. with 11 women and we really enjoyed the awesome meal they made for us. In the summer my family arrives on Sunday. Since the welcome picnic is on Mon., maybe dinner by Chez Jude on Tue. or Wed. and also on Fri. would be good. Our group occupies 3 cabins and there are a handfull of children, so a family night is a nice idea. Jan Finnegan had an interesting comment, cooking classes. One spring (many years ago) I was at Bearskin for a weekend of cooking with Sally. We had a fantastic time. Good food for thought. Chez Jude gets my vote, thanks for asking.

I am thrilled you are contemplating Chez Jude for the summer. I love the fine dining they offer at the restaurant. It would be great to have that in the dining room at Bearskin in the summer time. I also like the idea of a family night dinner. How about Wednesday and Friday nights? Perhaps Friday for the family meal as it may make it an easier night to pack for Saturday departure and not have to worry about cooking. I have no idea if this is feasible for Chez Jude but I think cooking lessons would be a fun daytime activity. I know the kitchen is small so numbers may be limited. The class could be demonstration or participation. How many of us would love to learn how to properly cook that fresh caught fish to perfection, to bake a delicious summer dessert, to use fresh summer produce, etc? Maybe classes for teens and adults and another class for children could work--- if not this summer, perhaps in the future? Hello everyone!
