Signs of Spring
The
sun has broken out and the days are warming and lovely. The trees are
filled with new leaves and new growth. There is a small bird who has
made her nest in the wreath by our front door, and her eggs have just
hatched. We've had to mow the grass for the first time this year, and
Ruth has been enjoying getting the gardens in shape.
Inside the house the signs of spring are also present. New paint in a few places, new recipes to try for breakfast, new specials on the website and new guests making reservations for their first visit to Maine and to Brewster House. Excitement is in the air!
Plan Ahead
We hope you're making plans for a visit to Maine this year, whether
to beat the crowds by arriving before the end of June, or by coming
mid-week; to enjoy the warmest summer days in July and August; to
plan now for leaf season in late-September through mid-Octoboer; or to
plan for the festivities beginning Sparkle weekend (right
after Thanksgiving) and Christmas shopping.
New
Specials at Brewster House
To help with your planning, we've introduced some new specials.
Our Fuel Saver special gives a $10 L.L. Bean gift card, to help offset
part of your gasoline costs. Our Weekday Saver gives 30% on the third
consecutive weekday. Of course, these are one or the other, they can't
be combined (we have bills to pay, too!).
Music in
Maine this Summer
Be sure you stay over a weekend, so you can enjoy the musical
treats! L.L. Bean sponsors a weekly free concert in Discovery Park
(between the flagship store and the current Hunting & Fishing
store) from June 9 through Labor Day. They also have their 95th
Anniversary celebration this year, July 4-8. See the L.L. Bean event
calendar.
There are many other musicals, from the Bowdoin International
Music Festival to the performances of the Maine State Music
Theatre, both a few minutes away in Brunswick. The events can be seen
on our events calendar.
Verify
Availability
As we've received calls and internet reservations, we've noticed
that some of the busy weekends (Camp Parents weekend, college
graduation, college parents weekends in the fall) are beginning to fill
up, so if you are planning to be here for one of those events, please check our
availability soon, to make sure you get the room you would like.
Activities and
Area Information
As you know, there is so
much to do here
that we are frequently asked for information on sightseeing locations,
directions to points of interest, etc. We are currently creating some
new additions to our web site to provide more information on activities
and their locations. Of course, we still have maps available in the
house, to help you find your way to the places you would like to see.
In addition to these occasional mailings of our newsletter, we post
weekly news about Freeport, goings on around Brewster House, and other
topics on our News page.
We hope you'll be here soon!
