New news from LL Bean today...the new outlet store will be behind the main store instead of where it is now located, across the street and down the hill. The plans will be on display at the Town Hall starting on Tuesday, Sept 5. The time frame for building the new outlet is not complete at this time.

The old outlet will be turned into a parking garage area with lots more shops and a new restaurant.

We'll take a walk down to the Town Hall next week and check out the plans!

For September we are offering an 'at par' rate for our friends from Canada. You may (or may not) know Rock's family is from Canada.

We are definitely heading into Autumn here in Maine. The days are cooler (about 70) and the nights have a definite chill (around 40-50). If you check the weather maps you'll see there are no orange or red colors up this way! Just great cool temps, blue skies and lobster, lobster, lobster!

After the kids head back to school be sure to plan a weekend getaway for October. Best leaf peeping is mid-October! Plan to take a drive along one of many scenic routes and then head back for a wine tasting event at Freeport Cheese and Wine (every 3rd Friday of the month).
