The Queen Anne “Fine Dining,” Experience

Travel to historic downtown Canon City, Colorado and enter a time with loved ones that is a memorable experience.

Arrive at the Queen Anne and immediately be reminded of the 1880′s as the Macon Avenue block has many historical structures.

Step on the wrap around veranda and visualize victorian dresses, flowers and top hats.

Enter the Queen Anne and begin a journey in beauty, elegance, aromas, which will lead to a lifetime memory.

As Linda and I contimplated the concept of expanding our entry way antique/tea treasure exhibits in the tea house we faced a decision as to the value to the “Fine Dining Experience.”
The loss of one of our tea rooms, the Old Country Kitchen, was the next concern as we have customers who traditionally reserved the room due to it’s charm and history.
However, the reality that an individual’s experience at the fne dining establishment kept coming up and the extension of the time in their experience has been confirmed by recent guests.
Fine Dining is becoming a lost art as most everyone is trying to pack in more activities during a normal day, especially if they are visiting a small town like Canon City, CO.
However, as I tell the men, who are brave enough to bring their loved one to a Afternoon/Lunch or High/5 course dinner tea, the time spent in enjoying each other’s comfort, the fine food, the atmosphere and now the antique/tea treasure shopping experience, all combine into something a fast food will never be able to do; “Create a Memory.”
Very few things today create lasting memories, things to cherish and a dedicated time with another person, or group, is a lasting memory to share for all days.

Beginning Sunday, April 18th, the Cañon City Queen Anne Tea House will provide a monthly Fellowship Brunch to help fund charities.

“We have always tried to find worthwhile activities where the Queen Anne can support charities and non-profit activities,” said Al Ballard, co-owner of the tea house which has been in business for two years. It has been our honor to hold fund raisers for our local history museum, as well as other needs. We have an upcoming fund raiser for the YMCA feasibility study effort in Fremont County (http://www.thecanoncityqueenanne.com/516ymcafundraiser.html) however, we wanted to find something that we could do each month when the weather permits, so guests can enjoy the tea rooms or the veranda, while supporting charities. The concept of a monthly brunch, where a portion of the funds received can be forwarded to a charity fits that goal well.
