Half-Time in Maine

Maine is Vacationland for sure, but the game is over quickly, so come on and enjoy the action before it ends. You see, unlike other places we need to pack a summer of good times into eight weeks. Here’s how it’s done:

The past month has been a sun ladened shopping cart of drop-dead beautiful weather. Breathtaking clear hot summer days and cool, hug-me summer nights are the order of business.

Roll 'Em

Ready for Prime Time

From time to time, we get to strut our stuff in the media

On Saturday afternoon, a Portland television news crew showed up at Old Orchard Beach on Saco Bay (Maine’s premiere 10 miles of wide, flat sparkling sand) to feature The Brunswick’s ace bar-gal, Katherine, in a half-time interview.

Volleyball was the order of business on the beach while Hocus Pocus (a form of musical magic) cranked out rockin’ Sky Blue Blues under the awning on the Patio for several hundred revelers of all ages who wanted to get into the shake of things and vie for the unannounced (until now) Maine’s Got Talent dance contest. Here are the winners:

Magic Moments at the Brunswick

Now, our waters aren’t bathtub warm (Mainers aren’t wimps – go south for that), but for two months this is the best game in town. This is the height of the 2011 season and it has exceeded everybody’s expectations so far.

So put Maine and The Brunswick in your planning book. Don’t expect a designer fashion show (you’ll still find that stuff in East Egg) and leave your BMW at home (the speed limit throughout town is posted at 25 MPH and actually averages around 5 MPH during the season). But that’s fine with everyone. This is a place where you have to walk down the street with your arm around someone special to really appreciate it.

Go get 'em, Tiger.

This is Maine. Real people, real fun and lobster straight off the pier. We even have interesting wildlife that occasionally wanders in off the beach .

It’s The Way Life Should Be.

Oops, second half is starting, gotta go.
