Christmas
Eve at the Winchester Inn
The
Second in The Inns of Christmas Series
With newly fallen snow covering the landscape around the Winchester
Inn, Mike, the innkeeper, sets out on his annual Christmas
Eve rounds. After hitching his team to the inn’s ancient
sleigh, he bundles two large sacks of gifts destined for the
neighborhood children. Gift giving is a Christmas tradition
enjoyed over the holidays by the inn’s many visitors.The
Winchester Inn, nestled among the Cotswold Hills in Phillips
Bay, dates back to the early 1880s.The Winchester is known
far and wide for its warm and friendly atmosphere, wonderful
rooms and sumptuous meals, making it the perfect place to
spend Christmas Eve.

Artist
William S. Phillips Chosen as Artist in Residence at the
Grand Canyon
Artist
William S. Phillips may be best known for his aviation
and nostalgia art, but he is such an accomplished landscape
artist that he has recently been selected by the U.S.
Park Service as the first Artist in Residence at the North
Rim of the Grand Canyon. Renowned artists from around
the United States competed for this honor, and the final
selection was based on examples of artwork and a mission
statement. His paintings of the Grand Canyon convey both
the grandeur and vastness of its majestic landscape.
“I was nine years old when my father sent me a postcard
from the Grand Canyon,” says Phillips. “From
that time on, I have been fascinated by its grandeur and
ever-changing moods. I have seen the Grand Canyon from
numerous vantage points— through rumbling summer
thunderstorms and howling winter blizzards, from the sky
above and along its myriad of trails to the river below.
It is always an awesome and humbling experience—one
that must be preserved for future generations. I am greatly
honored to have the opportunity to participate in the
Artist in Residence Program. Working at the Canyon is
a dream come true; born out of that postcard so many years
ago.”
During his residence at the Grand Canyon (Sept. 19 to
Oct. 9, 2004), Phillips’ goal is to interpret the
park’s purpose as a place of pleasure, and importance
as a national treasure. |
