A public notice to our many followers of the Bar Harbor Merchant’s Association.



It is with mixed emotions that we let you know that our Association is in the process of dissolving. As a volunteer organization, we rely on individual efforts to maintain our operation. Unfortunately, we have been unable to dedicate the time and effort required to keep the Association viable.

We have accomplished a lot during our years. Things we are most proud of was the establishment of the flag program. As many of you know, identifying an open business during the should season is difficult at best and the town approved uniform flags allowed for an easy visual. Our hopes are that the Chamber of Commerce takes this program over. We’ll have to wait and see. The annual dues that our members paid allowed us to support and co-sponsor several events like the Early Bird PJ Sale/ Bed races and the Midnight Madness event. As well as the 12 Days of Shopping and Dining locally event held in early December. Many locals and visitors were the recipients of many $25.00 gift Certificates handed out over the years. We are also pleased with the purchase of a large wire tree which remains lit in Agamonts Park during the Holiday season.

We’d like to remind anyone who was fortunate to have received one of the gift certificates to make plans to redeem it now as the Association is closing out its account.

In closing, we’d like to thank you for supporting your year-round businesses and hope that you continue to do so.

Sincerely,

The BHMA

Let's keep it moving folks

We've made great progress this week for our 25 for 25 More Match Campaign and have passed the half way point. We are at Little Hunters Beach, just shy of the $13,000 mark. Although we love to hear the clapping sound of the waves over the rocks, we don't want to stay here too long. Help us meet our goal so we can serve more Neighbors in our community! All donations up to $25,000 made by June 25 will be matched dollar for dollar. Double your impact by clicking here to donate today: http://islconnections.org/
Thank you to all who support Island Connections in so many ways, we can't do this without you!

Fab friends, we're just one day away from the State of Maine Quilt Shop Hop! Following last week's teaser about our Hop Challenge quilt, here's a little sneak peek of it...a tasty Maine staple in a messy place. As in previous years, Shop Hoppers will receive 20% off everything at Fabricate, from fabrics to scrapbooking, and crafts in between. Can't wait to see you! Wishing everyone a safe, inspiring, happy Hop.

get your quilting on...

Nessa’s putting the finishing touches on Fabricate’s State of Maine Quilt Shop Hop quilt this weekend…and here’s a sweet perk of the job: when you need embellishments, we've got so much to choose from! (A little quilty hint: she’s looking for swamp colors. :) ) These buttons and beads should do the trick!
