Blue Harbor House

How unique is this!  A singing Valentine delivered in person by a wonderful  Barbershop Quartet.   A Quartet from the Windjammer Barbershop chorus will  arrive at your location, present a rose and a card with a personalized message, and then will  perform a couple of songs.   Cost only $20.00.  Value – priceless!   If you are coming to Camden, Maine  for a special  Valentines, then  this would definitely  be an inspired way to make it unforgettable!

We have a couple of new additions to our beer selection.  Couldn’t  believe it  when our State of Maine beer supplier told us they had Scottish beer in stock!    So we now have two wonderful new beers for you to try.     We have Belhaven Pale Ale and Belhaven Scottish stout.

If you love history and baked beans then you might want to head to Camden and enjoy a traditional ‘Bean-hole’ supper, at the Conway house, one of the areas oldest homesteads.   So what is a bean-hole supper?

Well,  a deep hole is dug in the ground.  It s lined with stones and logs , lit,  and and  after some time there will be  a deep layer of hot embers. Then,a huge black iron cauldron filled with yellow-eye beans mixed with molasses, salt pork and a touch of cinnamon and clove onto the heat, is lowered into the hole , covered , and left to cook.  It is served with roasted pork, coleslaw and more.   Sound interesting?  Then visit Camden Sat 20 Aug to take part.  Price $10 for adults.

One of our  most  popular  tours  this summer is the two hour  Camden Harbor kayak tour.  At just $35.00 pp this two hour guided tour  is great value, and has had rave reviews from our guests.   You’ll head out past cruising yachts and tall masted schooners, taking in the majestic coastline from a unique perspective.      Still time to book up.  The kayak tour sets off  from Camden harbor, just a short walk from the Inn.  We book the whole thing – you just show up and have fun!

Rockland — Exquisite home furnishings and handcrafted wares will once again share the spotlight with a wide array of Maine-built boats, marine goods, art, live music, jewelry, and a host of special events when the 9th Annual Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors Show sails into Harbor Park on the Rockland waterfront Aug. 12-14.

In addition to docks, tents, and land displays filled with beautiful new products, visitors will be able to take a walk through local history via the show’s 2011 theme. “Tradition Shapes Innovation: 75 Years on Penobscot Bay—A Retrospective,”

Throughout show grounds and on the docks will be antique canoes and iceboats, vintage autos, and classic sail and powerboats.

Live demonstrations and activities throughout the weekend will give attendees the chance to watch craftspeople in action. Demos will range from the old-timey (hand spinning, net knotting, marlinspike seamanship) to the cutting edge (fine furniture building, the passive solar home, green energy). For the younger set, an instrument petting zoo, lobster fun, and art activities will take place in the dedicated Maritime Activities Tent (Tent M).  Lots to see and do for the whole family.
