Pies on Parade Featured on 207
Thursday, January 14th, 2010Key LimeRock Pie at LimeRock Inn
Sunday, November 8th, 2009Way back in June, we spent a few days with some travel writers that came to Rockland as part of Historic Inns of Rockland FAM tour. I heard the term FAM tour before, but always wondered what it meant. FAM is abbreviated for familiarization. Now, the light comes on in my head.
Anyway, the Tandem Tasters are part of the International Food, Wine and Travel Writers Association. Maralyn and Brenda stopped by one afternoon to watch me make Key LimeRock Pie. We had a lot of fun, and they seemed to enjoy the tasting part too.
Historic Inns of Rockland are hosting the 6th annual Pies on Parade in January 2010. If it sounds yummy to you too, think about coming to Rockland next January for a taste.
The world is VERY small!!
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009Over the five years we’ve been innkeepers, we’ve had many wonderful encounters with guests. In addition, the guests have wonderful encounters with each other. You’ve all heard of the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, well it seems that in the world there are far fewer degrees (although not neccesarily to Mr. Bacon!)
This morning we had one of the most bizarre and amazing coincidences of peoples paths crossing. There is an Aunt and neice visiting from the UK, one lives in England and the other Scotland. We also had a newlywed couple from NYC. After breakfast, the neice approached me to ask if the NYC couple, whom she’d not met, had just gotten married in Central Park. You see, prior to arriving at the inn, the aunt and neice had spent some time in New York City and toured Central Park. While there, a wedding was taking place in the Shakespeare Garden and they decided to stay around a bit to watch the bride and groom have their photos taken. Well, when this young couple walked into the dining room this morning, the neices jaw nearly fell to the ground as she thought this was the couple that she witnessed getting married in Central Park. A short while later, the couple confirmed that they indeed did get married and it was the same ceremony viewed by the aunt and neice.
Now I ask you, what are the coincidences that both sets of people would end up here are the LimeRock Inn in Rockland on the same date? It is just amazing and is one of the many reasons we love what we do!!!
LimeRock Inn on If Walls Could Talk
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009Two years ago, we were featured on HGTV’s If Walls Could Talk. It was a really fun show to be a part of although we filmed for 13 hours straight for about a 13 minute segment!! Enjoy the video below!
Press Tour this week
Monday, June 22nd, 2009Each year, the His
toric Inns of Rockland host a press tour for national media. We have a great lineup of writers coming on the tour this year. They will get to experience some of the best things in Rockland including our museums, restaurants and outdoor activities. Three years ago, our press tour was capped off with a lobster bake in the back garden of the Captain Lindsey House. A food editor from Woman’s Day magazine took this very funny picture of me. I don’t normally don this type of getup when eating lobster but for some reason the mood struck me this particular evening. We all look forward to another successful tour!
Frank on TV….again!
Monday, January 12th, 2009
Today, Frank went down to Portland to do a cooking segment taping for the WCSH6 show “207″. It’s a daily news magazine that focuses on all things Maine. Frank has been on before demonstrating how to make gingerbread houses and was invited down again to demonstrate how to make his Key LimeRock Pie. The segment will also help promote this years Pies on Parade event that takes place on the 25th.
On on interesting side note, while Frank was on the way down to Portland, he got a call from the local NBC news reporter for some quotes on the Cruise Ship industry here in Rockland. Frank is the chamber cruise committee chairman and he was featured in a story on this evening’s news. Since Frank was already in the Portland news station, they just interviewed him there. Leave it to Frank!
We won an award!
Thursday, November 13th, 2008
Last night was the monthy business after hours for the Penobscot Regional Chamber of Commerce. It’s a chance for chamber members to get together to network and catch up with each other. This month it was hosted jointly by Kno-Wal Lin and Penquis CAP. Penquis CAP is the local community action program that assists people in need through all types of programs including fuel assistance, victim service, health & housing. Last year, Frank and I (mostly Frank) helped organize a fundraiser for the Keep ME Warm fuel assistance fund. Well, last night we were presented with the Above & Beyond Award from Penquis CAP for our efforts. We had no idea this was happening and we were very honored to receive it.
