Town Of St. George

This boat rack was built by Owen Reynolds, Spencer Hilchey, and Chase Edgecomb, students of the St. George School. The intent of the project was to provide more access to one of the town’s best natural resources: the marsh.

• All of the equipement was donated to the town and is free to use. It will remain that way as long as it is used properly.
• PFDs (life jackets) must be worn while on the water
• Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult
• Boats should be returned to the rack and paddles and PFDs to the container after use
• Please report any lost or damaged equipment to the Parks and Rec Director, Ashley Geel. 372-6363

Enjoy your paddle!

Thanks to everyone who made our inaugural open house a success. We hope for even more participation in the future from citizens, but we were pleased with the results, and proud of our staff.

The caterer has come, and we're ready for the open house! Humus, guac, onion tartlets, a charcuterie board, toast points, cookies, cranberry bars, on and on! Please join us.

The St. George Days festivities kick off today at 3pm with the St. George Municipal Open House. Join us from 3-6pm in the "big room" of the town hall, and chat with the staff. You can learn about the town's new mooring look-up tool, have your blood pressure checked, sign up for text notifications from the town, learn about the revaluation, and complain to the town manager about, well, whatever you want! (He's got big shoulders and a big heart.) The clerks' window at the town office will be closing at 3pm today to accommodate.

Our friends at the St. George Volunteer Firemen's Association asked if we would help them share their menu for St. George Days.

May you have a safe and fun 4th of July!

The Cemetery Committee meeting planned for 4:30 today at Sea Side Cemetery has been cancelled due to weather.

Hannah is our EMS Deputy Chief. Hannah runs on adrenaline and caffeine. Hannah needs two mugs to keep the caffeine level within her normal limits. Hannah needs her name on her mugs because otherwise she's so busy she might forget who she is. Hannah is pretty awesome. We are glad Hannah works here.

Thank you to all who worked so hard on the Port Clyde Landing Project. Thank you community for making the Grand Opening such a fun event! Be sure to see the Midcoast Villager article here: https://tinyurl.com/mry29rh6 Also, if you have photos from the event last night, please feel free to add them here. Thank you Jane Conrad for the photos in the post.

Today is the grand opening of the Port Clyde Landing! Join us from 6-8pm in downtown Port Clyde. The band Hoodoo Man starts at 6pm, and features our own Office Clerk A behind his #goldsparkleludwigs. At 6:30 there will be some remarks from Harbor Committee Chair Dan Morris, Select Board Chair Jane Conrad, and Town Manager Brandon Leppanen. Our Harbor Master Ryan Cline won't be speaking, as he'll be too busy piloting the BBQ grill--did we mention there will be hotdogs and hamburgers? There will be a shuttle running from the Drift Inn parking lot to the new landing, so please park there. And, if you find you need to leave before a return shuttle is available, the Town Manager and Assistant Town Manager have said they'll provide rides back to the Drift Inn lot. What a great night to come check out the landing, maybe grab an ice cream or a beverage at a local eatery, and enjoy a nice evening!

Recently Addie McPhail zoomed into the office to register her new 400cc Triumph motorcycle. Office Clerk A, otherwise known as Bill, accepted her payment, and then decided it would be fun if the two of them showed off their wheels together. (Miss McPhail also happens to be dating Bill's eldest son.) Bill's 50cc scooter tops out 38mph. Miss McPhail won't disclose how fast the Triumph will go, but she did admit it's more than 38.
