The Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce was thrilled to celebrate not one, but two new businesses with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 25 Elm Street in Waterville.

Located in the former Firestone building, these new businesses represent an exciting transformation of a longtime Waterville landmark. The Salon at 25 Elm offers a welcoming space for professional hair and beauty services, while Bubbles & Co. Laundry provides a modern, convenient laundry experience for residents and visitors alike.

Congratulations to the owners and teams behind The Salon at 25 Elm and Bubbles & Co. Laundry on this exciting milestone. We are proud to have you as members of the Mid-Maine Chamber and look forward to supporting your continued growth and success.

Thank you to our Ribbon Cutting Sponsors: Pye-Barker Fire & Safety and Summit Natural Gas of Maine . Thank you to The Robin's Nest for supplying our ribbon cutting hosts with a bouquet of fresh flowers.

What an incredible day for civic engagement in Maine!

The inaugural Maine State Civics Bee Championship brought Maine's top middle school civic thinkers to Colby College in Waterville to showcase their civic knowledge, leadership, and ideas for strengthening their communities.

Twenty students from across the state were selected as finalists through a statewide essay competition, and students who advanced to the State Championship competed in a live event testing their understanding of government, history, citizenship, and civic responsibility.

Congratulations to our top three finalists:

Marin L. of Mt. Ararat Middle School – 1st Place and Maine's representative at the National Civics Bee Championship in Washington, D.C. this October

Ryan C. of Mt. Ararat Middle School – 2nd Place

Tristan S. of Rose M. Gaffney School in East Machias – 3rd Place

A special thank you to all of the students who participated, along with their families, educators, judges, volunteers, and partners who made this first-ever Maine State Civics Bee a success.

Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce was proud to partner with the Maine State Chamber of Commerce, Colby College and the City of Waterville, Maine to host this historic event. Funding support was provided through grants from The Civic Trust and Waterville Rotary Noon Club.

Additional sponsorship support came from Walmart, KVCC Kennebec Valley Community College, Bernstein Shur, and Preti Flaherty.

Congratulations again to all of our competitors and best of luck to Marin as they represent Maine on the national stage!

The Chamber Golf Classic on June 8th was a huge success, with perfect weather, great company, and plenty of fun on the course. Thank you to all of our golfers, sponsors, and volunteers who helped make the day so memorable!

While no one took home the Million Dollar Hole-in-One prize or the Ford Bronco Sport, there were still plenty of winners, great prizes, and lots of smiles all around.

Thanks for making this year's tournament one to remember—we can't wait to do it again next year!

Thank you to our Chamber Golf Classic major event sponsors: Central Maine Power and Maine State Credit Union.
