Please Welcome Our Newest Member, Captain Sweetser's Inn!

Located in Searsport, Maine, and overlooking local bays and the Atlantic Ocean, Captain Sweetser's is proud to offer a quaint, full-service bed and breakfast inn that includes five rooms.

Lori Lamprecht and Ginny Aguilar purchased the home in 2017 as a retirement plan to live in and run a small B&B. They feel very blessed thus far to have met so many guests already from all over the world.

Come stay in Searsport, learn about the inn's namesake, and find all the other great things to see and do downtown!

Evening by the Bay Auction Items Needed

This year's Evening by the Bay silent and live auction, put on by the Belfast Rotary Club as part of Belfast Harborfest, will benefit the local Children's Closet in RSU 71 and RSU 20. This program was chosen due to the increased need for support in our local schools, whether it be a couch surfing teen or a family in need. The items donated help to raise monies for this program and the support is greatly appreciated.

Please contact Sue at 207-338-5800 for more information or to donate.
