Two days to Spring in Cambria

This is going to be a magical concert! Five amazing singers with Robert to accompany. If you haven't heard Robert Ashens play, you are in for the most amazing experience.

Several Cambria merchants are offering some nice discount to concert patrons who show their tickets. The fabulous Cambria Pines Lodge is offering a 10% discount - what great incentive to have a nice weekend away! As of yesterday, they still had 29 rooms left. www.cambriapineslodge.com/

At Matter of Taste, they will be serving pork barbecue sandwiches, and offering 20% off any purchases. If you haven't been there, you should really make the stop - it's such a fun shop! http://www.amatteroftastecambria.com/

Robin's Restaurant would be a great place to stop after the concert for a wonderful dinner! They have a GREAT reputation for good food. http://www.robinsrestaurant.com/

Lastly, Sweet Offerings (http://www.sweetofferings.net/) was SO much fun to wander around in. They had all kinds of great treats - old favorites, new favorites. Make sure to pick up one of their discount cards at the concert before you head over...
