Christmas in Unalaska, Moonlight Madness, City Christmas Party and Roger and Billie Jo's Late Wedding reception..along with a Rescue and lots of food!

Well it is that time of the year again, The Christmas parties are HERE! On top of that, Shell Oil is here so the hotel is easily 3 X as busy as last year room wise(Usually December is a dead month for us for rooms). So anyway, I have been pretty busy on top of not feeling good so Blogging is taking a back seat to just trying to keep up. Still It was time for a post so here we go....
Margaret bay cafe is transformed every year into the base for the Moonlight Madness sale.


From the Cafe to.....
..... even the main Lobby everyone is looking for a Christmas bargain! (Above is my Assistant and Right Hand Veronica)

The Kids from the School Provide Gift Wrapping Services
And We even got Miss Veda and her Husband Tom to Come!

Roger and Billie Jo Attended before heading up to the City Christmas Party.

Also This week I finally Finished Decorating.......


And the Shell Oil Ship the Tor Viking assisted in a Cargo Ship Rescue out near Adak.
If it was not for Shell Oil this Cargo Vessel Carrying Thousands of Tons of Canola Seed would have been lost with all 30 Crew members. The Tor Viking Has 8 motors and passed the Coast Guard ship on the way to the vessel, it's just that powerful. The Next time you buy gas go out of your way to get Shell. A really great company that Cares.

Finally last night we also had Roger and Billie Jo's Late Wedding Reception!
Smile for you mum Roger!
