Gather round the table with old friends

It’s that time again. Time to reconnect with old friends and old memories. Time for your high school reunion. It’s always interesting to catch up with classmates and see what they’ve been up to for the past ten, twenty,… fifty years. October 2nd and 3rd, 2009, the graduates of Taylorville High’s class of 1967 will gather together to collectively celebrate the 60th birthday of its members. For details contact Cindy Dehart 217.824.2938. We hope you will stay with us at our Taylorville bed and breakfast when you return home for this. We promise to provide comfortable beds, whirlpools to ease aches and pains, and a social hour with complimentary wine and cheese (to ease aches and pains of aging).

Swing Under the Stars in Taylorville

Swing Under the Stars at the Lake Shore Golf Course from 7 – 10 pm on July 18, 2009. Swing dancing is alive and well near our Central Illinois bed and breakfast. The Bob Markum Swing Band will set our feet a-tappin’ during this third annual Great American Music Series. $10 admission gets you great music and finger food; in addition there is a cash bar.

Make a weekend getaway of it; stay in our bed and breakfast Taylorville, golf by day and dance all night. We have several golf packages to entice you, and Lake Shore Golf Course has 160 acres to tackle. This scenic 18 hole, par 72 course sits on the shores of Lake Taylorville, providing a beautiful setting during your game.

Swing your club during the day and swing your sweetie Saturday night. What could be better?
