Four Seasons of Bounty

To the Editor:

As autumn approaches, and along with it the Bethel Harvestfest and Chowdah Cookoff, we encourage and invite businesses and homeowners to get into the harvest spirit. The 2010 Scarecrow Theme is “Four seasons of Bounty – recreation, local foods and the arts!” Muster up the creative spirit and have fun with this.

The Bethel Area Chamber is busy preparing for a wonderful festival on Sept. 18 that consists of an arts and crafts festival, delicious chowdah and apple pies (anyone can participate and compete), loaded baked potatoes, the performances of local musicians coordinated by our one and only Jewel Clark, chainsaw carving, horse-drawn wagon rides, local food displays and farmer’s market, fly-fishing demonstrations, historical barn tours and so much more. We hope everyone will plan to stay in town or come to Bethel that day – and invite your friends from afar!

We are recruiting willing helpers to volunteer for the festival and ask that you contact the chamber office as soon as possible at 824-2282 if you have two hours to give. Incentives include chowdah and/or a delicious Maine baked potato. Yum!

The chamber staff – Julia, Rosalie, Kathy & Robin
