Samantha, Christmas Spirit®'s mascot, is a mother herself who had eight pups. After the pups were adopted many years ago, Samantha was rescued by her current owner. Consequently, today, 11-year-old Samantha enjoys a special relationship with her mother/owner and in turn, mothers us all. During the workday, she makes her rounds, checking on all of us to make sure we're OK. Sam seems to sense when anyone needs extra care and comfort, spending more time with them. Or, is it because they have some cookies for her? Either way, thanks for mothering us Samantha, and Happy Mother's Day to you and YOUR Mother, too! |

 Spring buds in Acadia Photo by Beverly Bono | After a long Maine winter, spring is a wonderful thing! Both Mainers and visitors to our island are out and about enjoying sunny daytime temperatures in the 50's, greening grass, budding trees, and colorful wildflowers. This week, there's a burst of activity in the village of Bar Harbor too, as local schools are closed for their spring break. Lots of "day trippers" (Maine visitors from around the state) are joining other tourists from around the country, to shop, eat, and sit in the sun on one of the many benches along downtown streets, in the Village Green, and in Agamont Park overlooking Bar Harbor's waterfront. Our Christmas SpiritŪ Shop re-opened for its 20th year on Friday, April 17 along with several other shops that had closed for the winter. |
| On Saturday, April 18, Bar Harbor's College of the Atlantic celebrated Earth Day with a full-day festival of booths, concerts, and speakers. From April 18 through 26, Acadia National Park is hosting a weeklong celebration of National Park Week, with various events being held throughout the park in honor of Mother Earth's beautiful creations. And on April 25, our island residents will celebrate Earth Day with Friends of Acadia by helping keep our roadsides clean! Every year, hundreds of volunteers gather to collect trash from area roads. Last year, nearly 400 people collected more than 8,500 pounds of garbage. We're sprucing up our island for our own enjoyment, and for over 2 million expected visitors this season. Come visit us this year. You can easily plan your trip on our Chamber's Website at www.BarHarborMaine.com. |
