Maine Real Estate Talk: October 2008

New in town?  Well, grab a name tag and mark your calendars for November 17th!  If you've moved to the Bath area or a surrounding town (Phippsburg, West Bath, Arrowsic, Georgetown, and Woolwich) within the last year, then we would like to invite you to participate in the Bath Social!  This is a fabulous opportunity where you can meet other new and long-time members of our community!

Come join us and enjoy mingling, networking, meeting new friends, sharing stories and experiences, and learning everyone's favorite restaurants, shops, and service providers!

 The event is scheduled to take place on Monday, November 17th from 7-8 pm at the City Hall Auditorium.  I encourage you to come and find out All MidCoast Maine has to offer!

See you there!

...that Maine has more coastline than any other state in the U.S.?  Yup...over 3500 miles of shoreline! The map of Maine is deceiving.... it doesn't look like it should have that much coastline.  But coastal Maine is composed of numerous coves, bays, inlets, and harbors, so many that if you were to straighten Maine's coast into a straight line it would be longer than California or Florida! 

And that figure doesn't include the shorelines of the 2,000 islands that dot Maine's coast!

So now you know!

Well folks, it's that time of year again.  The air has cooled, the trees are a riot of colors, and every yard is blanketed in a thick carpet of red and gold. Living in Maine in the fall is like living in a postcard!

The cooler air also brings with it a variety of fairs and festivals.  This weekend Bath is proud to host AutumnFest, a delightful celebration of the sights, smells, and sounds of autumn!  The day will be loaded with activities for all ages, craft dispays, and food....did I mention the food?

Feeling creative?  Participate in the annual Great Scarecrow Event, which takes place on the lawn of the Custom House from 10-1. Like to paint? Grab a brush,  join the Autumn Window Painting crew, and put your mark on downtown Bath!

If you're already thinking Christmas shopping, be sure to wander around the parking lot of Bracketts Market!  There, from 10-4, you can browse the great Made In Maine Craft Show and take care of everyone on your list!  Wander over to the Bath Waterfront Park and check out the Farmers Market from 8-12 for a variety of Maine grown food, flowers, plants, and more.  Still have money left?  Well, don't forget to hit the legendary open house at Halcyon Yarn for special sales, discounts, and demonstrations!

Now that you've worked up an appetite, take your pick from a number of Bath restaurants, all offering autumnal feasts along witht their usual fare.  I recommend stopping by the downtown BBQ hosted by The Park at City Hall.

Thoughout the festival you'll see wandering musicians, artisan and food demonstrations, and a lot of people celebrating the season!  Be sure to join us for Autumnfest on Saturday, October 11th!  See you there!
