Whoa! It’s like a heat wave in Oregon! MaMere’s feels more like New Orleans than ever yet she’s surrounded by the beauty and breezes of the NorthWest. Surreal for a Southerner used to melting like a puddle in the heat. I’m loving it!

If you’re in town for the festivities of the Fourth of July, please drop by and say “hey.” MaMere’s is hosting a gathering of friends and family and if you’re reading this, you can consider yourself in either category (although you may want to suspend your decision until you’ve actually seen the makings of both).

This week kicks off events in Monmouth that keep us “cool” all summer long with our Music in the Park on Wednesdays:
July 7 Rock Hounds
July 15 Hot Rod Lincoln
July 22 Guthrie Park
July 29 Joe Stoddard
August 5 Country Jones Band
August 12 Darby O’Gill
August 19 Bill Larimere Trio

Also, CylceOregon will be rolling through town July 17-19. And the indomitable Mel Brown will hold his annual Jazz in the Park concert on August 2.

Think about cooling off here in Monmouth this summer. At MaMere’s you can sleep under the stars or beneath a shower of Mardi Gras beads. While away the hours in the cool of the gazebo. Sample our local wines or sip iced tea like it’s supposed to be. Read a book from our library as you lie in one of the clawfoot tubs, soaking away the heat of the day. Wake up to the smell of breakfast being cooked just for you. Wander down in your robe to a hot cup of strong coffee and the sunshiny smile of Kary, hailed by all our guests as a marvel with the pots.

Take a break, grab a mini-vacation, at least one day this summer to do absolutely what you feel like doing which could be nothing at all. That’s what it’s like here at MaMere’s, the “Little Easy” of the West.
