With just one weekend left of the season unfortunately we are officially in the countdown.  Just a reminder that seasonal water will be turned off beginning Thursday October 16th.

Congratulations to Joe and Annarose Shea who were married September 27th in Newport Rhode Island on what turned out to be one of the best days of the season weather wise. Joe’s mom Addy describes it as being picture perfect and they were excited to have many Ocean Pointers in attendance to help celebrate. Addy and Gerry would like to thank all who sent their best wishes on their happy occasion. Following the wedding Joe and Annarose travelled to Florida for their honeymoon.

Jean and John Webster recently attended the Conservation Fair at the Union Fairgrounds where they demonstrated their beekeeping skills. Students from first to fourth grade learned about the life and importance of bees to the environment. They were given the opportunity to ask questions and to try on the veil and the gloves that beekeepers use.

Bob and Pat Landurand are also involved in sharing their skills with grade school students. Pat and Bob teach ballroom dancing at the Y to adults and recently brought in students from grades 5 to 8 to teach them the basics of dance. Pat reports a very busy summer of entertaining guests.

The residents of East Boothbay have once again done a fabulous job of creating their “pumpkin people” on their front lawns. They are fun to view as you drive through the village and so creative. The annual Fall Foliage Festival will be held this weekend; this is a great event to catch up with many Ocean Pointers who are here for the Columbus holiday.

I hope to see many of you one final time over the weekend to wish you a safe and healthy winter and of course a safe trip to you destination.
Have a great week.
