Despite the fall season coming to an end soon, the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays will find the Boothbay Region equally as busy. The Early Bird is fast approaching this Saturday the 19th so if you are in the area be sure to take advantage of all the deals that the local businesses have to offer. Don’t forget to start your shopping day off with breakfast at the Harborside Tavern beginning at 7:00 A.M.

 Speaking of he Harborside they are currently taking pre orders for Thanksgiving dinner. Included in the dinner is roast turkey with all the fixings and for an additional charge your choice of apple, pumpkin or chocolate pecan pie. See all of the details on their facebook page or call them for more information at 633-4074.

Gardens Aglow will begin this weekend as well, you can purchase your tickets on line via the Botanical Gardens website. This years’ event is expected to be larger than 2015. We are looking forward to attending this spectacular light show.

It’s always nice to hear of long time Ocean Point friends gathering during the off-season. John and Pat Waldman along with Bruce Lewis and his wife Hona recently got together at the home of Ginny DeCeasar for dinner and reminiscing about summer days gone by at the Point. Included in the conversation was a detail that many of you may not have known; John Waldman along with his partner Joanne Stickney won a tennis championship defeating the team from Squirrel Island one summer. John was a powerful tennis player back then and still enjoys a competitive game today.

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday there will be an early deadline for column submission next week so send your news to me early.

Have a great week!
