Boothbay LOVE

Dear Friends,

As the days roll into weeks and we all go about our new normal (or as we call it, Corona Management), we wanted to check in with a little Boothbay LOVE.

First and foremost, to all who have suffered illness or loss, please know that our thoughts, love and prayers are with you. There are no words that can ease such enormous pain, but where there is love there is hope, and with hope we will prevail. Even for those who have been fortunate to remain healthy, this is no easy ride. We are suffering from financial loss, missing our loved ones tremendously, and our closets can only get so organized. But if Corona has reminded us of one positive thing, it's that WE ARE SURVIVORS! We are adjusting our lives as needed, for the better good and a brighter future. We are literally being forced to slow down, relax, create new ways to be productive, exercise more, be more resourceful, think more about waste. And most importantly, think more about one another. Helping one another can seem impossible when we are forced to stay at home and our finances are strained far beyond their limit. But there are ways we can help our local businesses that we all love so much. Our peninsula would be nothing without them, nor would Boothbay Harbor Fest. At a time when almost everything in our lives has changed, we can find peace in the beauty around us that remains constant. Winter has turned to spring, trees are budding, flowers are popping, and temps are rising. And celebrations and traditions, (although currently altered), are still happening everyday. Tomorrow is Easter (Happy Easter!), Mother's Day is just around the corner, loved ones are celebrating birthdays, babies are being born, students are graduating... Think of the impact we could make if we all purchased just one gift certificate from a local business. Let's give our loved ones a gift of hope for the future, and spread a little Boothbay LOVE! For the past nine years dozens of local businesses have come together each September to give locals and visitors a fun filled festival in the midst of their busiest season. Each year they go above and beyond for their community, their customers, their guests. Let's use this time to show them how much we appreciate them! Here's how we can spread some Boothbay LOVE:
