People are always asking me when they come to stay at the Bar Harbor Inn, "what are the current events happening in the town?"
Here is the current schedule of events from the Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce:
Town Hill Winter Chili Fest - Saturday, February 2nd
Fiber Arts Workshop - Saturday, February 23rd
Leap into March Progressive Dinner - Saturday, February 29th
No one could have told me that I, a former "Marketing Consultant" from CT would one day work at one of my favorite places in the World - the Bar Harbor Inn!
My Mom was born in Bar Harbor and lived on Cranberry Island before moving to Rhode Island many years ago. Her Dad, a Merchant Marine and Lobsterman and my Grandmother a seamstress and Lobsterwoman moved due to the service.
Mom met and married my Dad and moved to CT where they raised five children. We spent at least two weeks every summer in Maine - Lamoine (a nice quiet town near Bar Harbor). I loved spending vacation time here. I even dreamt as a young teenager that I would work as a maid in a hotel in Bar Harbor.... ok, I thought that was a cool job!
I finally left CT, moved to Lamoine and was lucky enough to get my job here at the Bar Harbor Inn! Ironically, both my Great Grandmother and my Grandmother worked here many years ago making me a third generation worker!
I love my new home in Maine and enjoy working here every day!
While vacationing in Bar Harbor, you really should take the time to visit Acadia National Park. On a clear day you can see Canada– yes that is true.
There are 55 miles of carriage trails that you can bike whether you are a novice or experienced cyclist. The park is easily accessible to drive up the winding road, or park your vehicle and hop on a trolley tour, taxi or bus and let someone explain all of the beautiful sights to you.
Mt.Desert Island Tours– 207-460-1682
Acadia & Island Tours Oli’s Trolley - 207-288-9899
