More like Sit There! Cue Music! Mime!
I'm kidding. What an incredible experience it was last night at the Knox County Regional Airport! When I first got the notification they wanted me in a movie, I couldn't believe it! Now that it's happened...did it really?
BOW. Stands for Becoming an Outdoors Woman. It is an educational weekend that is organized from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. And it is just what it sounds like, cool workshops to try out some outdoors type skills.
October 2, 2013 With all the bad news of government shutdowns and no jobs...this just put the icing on the cake!
The Winslow High School Wrestling Team had its money STOLEN!
Oh no!
October 2, 2013 While at the Fryeburg Fair, there were so many vendors there! They were selling everything from clothes, sunglasses, shoes, hats...you name it!
As I was waiting in line for Anderson to finish his ride on the helicopters, Chad took Bradley and Jayden to look at some vendors.

Congress did not act, so we are facing a federal government shutdown. The shutdown will close national parks (like Acadia in the fall) and museums and furlough hundreds of thousands of federal workers.

September 30, 2013 What a BEAUTIFUL day it was yesterday! A perfect one for the very first day of the 162nd Fryeburg Fair to open on yesterday.
And what a fair it is!
You can't see it all in one day. Heck, you can't see it all in a WEEK! I ran into my friends Ricky and Tracy Austin of Norridgewock and Patty and Randy Dicker of Albion. They are both spending the week there in their campers. How lucky are they? But for us, we only had the day so we made the most of it!
Some of Maine's four legged public servants will be receiving bullet-proof vests. The vests do the same this for the K-9 officers as they do for the human officers, they help protect the body from bullets and knife stabs.
