It’s great to be a mom in Fort Bragg on Mothers Day… there’s so much to do.

You could start the day with brunch on the Skunk Train, or thrill to a trail-ride on the beach.  Next you could stroll among the street construction downtown to shop for her gift – making certain to stop by the Fiber Arts Studio special Mothers Day open house.  You could end the day by treating mom to dinner at the Mendo Bistro, where her dinner is free. Here are just some of the fun things happening this Mothers Day.

Start Mothers Day early with a Saturday visit to the Fiber Arts Studio’s special Open House from 11 to 4pm.  You’ll find the perfect gift for mothers day or any occasion.  Unique dyed, handprinted and painted scarves, dishtowels and other linens, T-shirts, fun fleece wear, cards and much more by fiber artists Lolli Jacobsen, Iren Rothenberger.  The studio is located at 122 E. Fir Street (alley entrance), in Fort Bragg. If you can’t make it this Saturday, their Open Studio repeats next weekend, both Saturday and Sunday, May 23 & 24, from 11 to 4 pm.

Then start your Mothers Day Sunday by treating Mom to a relaxing morning riding the Skunk Train and sipping Mimosas (juice for kids),then enjoy a special brunch in the middle of the redwoods at Northspur! Departing Fort Bragg Depot at 10:00 a.m., four-hour round-trip.Adults $65, Children $30. 866 457-5865.

Maybe a trail-ride is more mom’s speed. If so, Ricochet Ridge Ranch is offering a special Mother’s Day Trailride on the Beach – you even get 10% off if you mention this promotion.  Lari says, “Heck, we could serve “Tea” on the hay bales!” Daily Trail-rides phone/fax 24201 North Highway One  707-964-9669.

And if your mom deserves more than brunch, the Mendo Bistro is making it easy to treat her well. This Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 10th bring mom out to dinner at Mendo Bistro and her dinner (excluding alcohol and gratuity) is on us. The fine print. There needs to be at least one paying customer per mom. If there are multiple generations of moms, great. Each mom gets a free dinner as long as there is a paying customer to match each mom. We’d like to see the whole family, but recognize that some children might be out of town. Please have mom bring a picture (not for proof of motherhood, but because we’re curious).
