Lobster Fest in Winter Harbor

Well the Lobster Fest in Winter Harbor has come and gone for 2007. This past Saturday, 11 August, saw hundreds of folks walking around downtown WH, strolling around the various craft tents set up around the town office and school and it seemed as if most of those folks stopped by Gerrish's at one time or another. Food was available at several locations: crab rolls and funnle cakes, that sort of thing, but Gerrish's was the place to get coffee drinks, ice cream and sandwiches to go. In fact just about everybody who works at Gerrish's worked that day and pretty much all day to boot.

About half past five we closed the doors and everyone went out onto the front porch to watch the parade. The "floats" consisted of lots of fire trucks from surrounding towns and of course the Shriners and their cool g-karts. A couple of bands also paraded. It was all very small-town and the perfect capstone to a beautiful sunny day in Winter Harbor.
