Camden’s Lake Megunticook in the spring

About three weeks ago we were scratching our heads about the “ice-out” date on Lake Megunticook, which stretches north to south across the border between Camden and Lincolnville on the West side of Camden Hills State Park, and this morning I captured this shot of the lake on my way into town. Serenity, sun rays poking through morning clouds, buds growing on the trees which surround small houses on the handful tiny islands that dot the lake. Summer, we are waiting for you with open arms!

Lincolnville Beach Fall Festival

A parade shut down Route 1 through Lincolnville Beach as the rain held back on Saturday morning, October 2. Shoestring Theater from Portland stole the show with their costumes and stilts, entertaining the crowd, young and old. Many were entertained by the firetrucks, tractors, kids on bikes, a Ferris Wheel, a Farmer’s Market and much more. Traffic was temporarily rerouted via Beach Rd and Ducktrap Rd. Our camera crew captured some of the fun.

PopTech Conference transportation: Free shuttle ride between Lincolnville and Camden

Picture 2

Announcing: To promote the sustainability theme of Pop!Tech 2009, The Inn at Ocean’s Edge will provide complimentary transportation shuttle service for its guests between the inn and Camden Opera House, the primary location for the PopTech Conference from October 21 – 24, 2009. No need to bring or rent a car to attend! Call us directly to reserve a room and a spot (207)236-0945.

What is Pop!Tech?

“Every October, in the beautiful seaside village of Camden, Maine, at the height of the fall foliage season, there is a one-of-a-kind conference called PopTech. A first visit to Pop!Tech is often surprising. Unlike traditional conferences, here you’ll find an eclectic network of industry leaders, scientists, technologies, social change agents, artists, educators, the press, bloggers, explorers and one-of-a-kind thought-leaders from a huge variety of fields and number of different places – bound together by an intense curiosity about the forces, challenges and opportunities shaping our future. Many are personally involved in cutting-edge work in these fields – we could easily program a second (and third) conference from the people who attend. This remarkable network is amplified by a similarly eclectic group who participate ‘live’ on the Internet from around the world.

America stands at a complex crossroads, economically, technologically, socially and geopolitically. Major forces are reshaping the idea of America, its government’s contract with its citizens, its brand, and its role in the world. And there is not a single global challenge that can be addressed without it.

At Pop!Tech 2009, we’ll take a top-to-bottom look at America’s opportunities, its challenges, and its future. We’ll explore the country’s business model in the decades to come, and unearth inspiring stories of American invention and social innovation. We’ll explore the country’s role in the world, and the world’s role in the U.S. We’ll look at cutting-edge ideas in education, energy, entrepreneurship, and the many other social systems on which America’s future wealth depends, and we’ll ask what it means to be a superpower in the age of the Second Superpower — the Internet. We’ll share rousing stories of people on the front lines of the next American Revolutions.

We’re pleased to be presenting some of the world’s most exciting voices at PopTech this year – among them will be Michael Pollan, leading food journalist and activist; Dan Ariely, behavioral economist and best-selling author; Alec Ross, innovation advisor to Hillary Clinton, as well as Luis von Ahn, researcher on human computation and George Church, instigator of the Human Genome project.
As always, there will be incredible performances, jaw-dropping technology demonstrations, spirited discussions,  and surprises throughout, drawing a network of extraordinary thinkers doers and leaders for a one-of-a-kind experience.”
