The Best Season

   Well Labor Day has come and gone and downtown feels very different this morning.  There are plenty of parking spaces and no college kids with laptops at the coffee shop. All of the K-8 schools in School Union 74 opened this morning and it was nice to see all the smiling kids ( and their even happier parents) waiting for buses as I drove in.

   Now begins what many of us consider to be the best time of year here in Mid Coast Maine.  These next two months will feature some of the best weather we'll see all year with warm days and cool nights.  The summer crowds are gone but there will be a decent amount of visitors here, enough to make things interesting.  There will be no trouble getting tee times at any of the local golf courses and best of all, the bugs are gone!

   If you've been considering a visit to our part of the world this is truly The Best Season to come!
