Will the Little Old Lady Dance?

I read a review recently that likened Camden Maine to a nicely kept little old lady. Which strangely enough, I agree with. There is a kind of respect for such a person. The title of this blog entry is in reference to Camden Maine and the conversation that I had with a guest today at breakfast. We were discussing the changing face of Camden, which is a common topic around here, and where the future of Camden is. Among many things that were discussed over coffee, one was the upcoming event being sponsored by the Camden Harbour Inn - Weekend with Edie. I think it is fantastic. Weekend with Edie is a dinner and show that features a drag queen (Edie). This is not a typical show to be seen in Camden Maine. It will be interesting to see if the community supports the show (dances) or blushes and turns a polite cheek. The Camden Windward House is doing a special around this weekend, because a dancing old lady is fun and funny.
Spend the evening at the Camden Windward House and we will provide you with discounted tickets to the dinner and show. Saturday November 17th 2007.

The Leaves Are Beautiful - Where is Everybody?


The leaves in Camden Maine are in full peak color this week, October 21 - October 28th. The colors are fantastic. As innkeepers we try to predict when the leaves will peak so that we can help guests make their vacation plans. We predicted the 2nd week in October - I guess we were 1 week off - not too bad, but we don't have any guests to see the leaves. The last 2 weeks in October are usually a slower time here in Camden. The Pop tech conference (which is the 2nd week in October) left and the 600 people that came for it - left also. If you have a minute and want to see some awesome color and have a great Inn and town to yourself, come to the Camden Windward House.
