Bloody Brunch
Ox-Bow lore comes alive. John Rossi, our Facilities Manager and resident keeper of Ox-Bow stories, leads 2025 Bloody Brunch guests through campus on a haunted tour, cloaked in mystery and a few very old tales.
Food, Spirits, and Stories from the Grounds
A taste of what was served at the 2025 Bloody Brunch, prepared by the Ox-Bow kitchen team.
Join us for Bloody Brunch, a fall gathering featuring a festive meal prepared by our kitchen team, drinks, a little Ox-Bow lore, and a tour of our hallowed (and perhaps haunted) grounds.
Enjoy your choice of a Bloody Mary or mimosa while settling in for brunch at your own pace. Join us anytime between 10:00 a.m. and noon for open-seating brunch.
John Rossi, Ox-Bow’s Facilities Manager and resident keeper of its many stories, histories, and legends, will lead guests through campus on two separate tours between 10:00 and noon, sharing tales from Ox-Bow’s past and present. Ghost encounters are possible, though not guaranteed.
As a (grave)marker of your time at Ox-Bow, each guest will also take home a unique piece of hand-blown Ox-Bow glassware, crafted on campus by our glass team.
