The Copperstone Inn is primarily a project of Richard Spanton Jr. and his wife Chrissie, since the inn lies only 500 yards away from their home in Rockton, Illinois. Richard Spanton Jr. is all about family business, though, so his mother Saundra Spanton will be aiding in the day to day operations management of the inn as soon as the finishing touches on the renovations are complete. Family business is nothing new to Richard Spanton Jr., as he helps run an elk farm in Wisconsin with his father Richard Spanton Sr., his mother Saundra, and his grandfather Dave.
Saundra Spanton will be assisting Richard Spanton Jr. and Chrissie Spanton in one of the most important aspects of running this luxury inn – creative inspiration for the food. Since Richard Spanton Jr. believes that his mother is one of the best cooks he has ever witnessed in his life, he jumped at the chance to hand the responsibility of Saundra’s Cookery over to his mom. This will allow her to share some of her magic with the people who come to the bed and breakfast. Richard Spanton Jr. couldn’t be prouder.
Saundra’s Cookery will utilize her knowledge of baking that comes from her mother and her Norwegian decent. Richard Spanton Jr. is looking forward to providing his guests with many wonderful memories.
Richard Spanton Jr., Chrissie Spanton and Saundra Spanton hope you will enjoy a stay at Copperstone Inn someday if your find yourself in Rockton. The fall pumpkin picking season is a great time to visit, by the way.
