In Their Words

Going to the Tunbridge

A few weekends ago my friend who grew up here took some other girls and me to the Tunbridge Fair. I had never even heard of this fair before a few years ago and came here. I didn’t know what to expect as I had only been to the Braton Fair and the Champlain Fair before and not many times. We went for the food and to see what it was like, not to ride any rides. It was actually a quite cute little fair. There were bands, so many animals, little popup shops, and so much food. We walked about and got to look at all of the animals, which is my favorite thing.

A Little Time Off

Wow, I have been so beyond busy for the last two months. I have had some crazy times for a little while so I decided to take a little time off.

OOB Vacation

I can’t believe that it is almost August already. Last weekend I went to Acadia and we weren't able to see either the sunset or the sunrise. It also rained almost the whole time we were there. We tented out and it was definitely not how I expected the weekend to go. We plan to maybe try again next year to actually see the sunrise or set instead of just fog and rain. This weekend I leave for Maine for the whole first week of August. We have gone to Old Orchard Beach every year for a long time. We stay at the same place every year and all of us get to go together. This year it will be only 15 people going instead of all 17 of us. My sister and cousin Kaleb both live out of state now so they can’t come. Last year we were unable... Read more →
