JONATHAN BELLINGHAM W HIGHV IEW, HAMPSHIRE COUNT Y A Gift of Relaxation Capon Springs & Farms honors frontline workers. on april 16, we sent out an email to our Capon Springs & Farms guests with the following message:
As a small gesture of appreciation and support, we would like to send a packet of soaking bath salts from the Hygeia Bath House & Spa to you and/or your family members who are working as health care workers or first responders. The bath salts (which are made by a small business right here in West Virginia ~ “WV Naturals”) can be used for a relaxing soak in the tub or as a foot bath to soothe aching feet. It is our sincere hope that this gift will provide a moment of healing respite from the tireless work so many of you are doing to keep the rest of us well and safe.
In addition, the names of the health care workers and first responders submitted can be entered into a Capon drawing good for a number of complimentary two-night stays for two during the 2020 or 2021 season. To request the soaking bath salts and/or enter the drawing for yourself or someone you love that is working on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis, please fill out this form. We look forward to the time we can welcome you all back home to Capon. P.S. For some inspiration and strength during these very challenging times, check out this blog post about “The Blessings Basket” at the spa. We hope that reading these beautiful messages left by our guests will bring you some peace and comfort, just as they have done for us. The result was, we received about 250 submissions, with some amazing stories about what our gesture meant to them. An example:
I wanted to thank you so much for the amazing bath salts! I am a public health nurse that spends my shifts testing people for COVID-19 at home, working a drive-through, or entering a facility. Your kindness is heartfelt! I have had the pleasure of vacationing at Capon Springs in the past. It is a place that is near and dear to my husband and his family. We look forward to a future trip with our boys. Wishing you continued health. With much gratitude, Nicole Lane, BSN, RN, NCSN
We announced the winners of the two-night getaways in early May. Congratulations to nurses Alyssa Leimberger and Emmett Moloney and veterinary technician Cathy Collier—we can’t wait to see you here and thank you in person for your work.
