It was another great day on the banks of the Damariscotta river as we broadcast live aboard the Miss Yankee Pride. It's a longstanding tradition in this coastal Maine town that each fall they celebrate giant pumpkins by decorating them, catapulting them and racing them around the river...
Everyone knows there's no better way to fight a cold or the flu than with a steamy bowl of chicken soup. That's why one Maine pub is giving it away to those who are feeling the effects of the flu.
Buzz Pinkham is just a great guy and I love talking with him about Pumpkinfest in Damariscotta every year! From pumpkin drop from a 200 foot crane to the regatta with motorized gourds, this is a blast! Check out our chat with Buzz on the Moose Morning Show!
This morning (April 21) a vehicle crashed into the Rite Aid on Main St. in Damariscotta. The accident happened around 10:15 am and caused extensive damage to the building and the car. No one was injured.
I got to hang with some really nice people today in Damariscotta. Don Carrigan from channel 6 (who is from that part of the state) and Buzz Pinkham, the creator of the event. That's some good company by anyone's standards, mista!
What a great time...like an old fashioned barn party but with a modern feel as Nikki Hunt and her band opened up the evening with a long set of classics rock and some top 40 tunes!
Today will be a day of puttering around the house while Lynn is out at a craft fair helping her mother at her table. My goal this morning is to get the laundry and vacuuming done and if needed the upstairs bathroom as my son Justin had a friend sleep over. After all is finished I'll be catching the Patriots play the Saints and later at 8pm hopefully the Sox and Tigers in game #2 of the ALCS. I say
Thank you for joining the Moose for this year's Damariscotta Pumpkinfest & Regatta. We had a great time, and with Shipyard, gave away a trip to Mardi Gras to Amanda Musica.
