Whew! Could it really have only been a year ago that
the first issue of Our Maine Street Magazine was released?
The past year has been a memorable one for us. Starting
a new endeavour is never easy, and like all new businesses
we have certainly had our share of learning experiences and
challenges, but the rewards and lessons have definitely been
worth it. We have met some amazing people, seen some
beautiful images, explored this area we call home, learned
a thing or two along the way and have had the pleasure of
speaking to others about how great The County is (seriously,
we think it’s pretty cool).
I was recently reminded about how amazing the
community in The County is while helping out at the
Relay for Life in Caribou. Originally, we hadn’t planned
on including a piece on the Relay in this issue, as it would
be held after our normal press deadline. As the Relay
approached it became clear that this was one event that we
just couldn’t miss, and as a result we held the magazine from
the presses two weeks past our normal press date. While
this has certainly made for a fast-paced pre-press schedule
(compared to normal anyway) we feel it was worth it, and
hope that we managed to capture a bit of the amazing
atmosphere we experienced while at the Relay. Kudos to
the Relay team and all of those that participated, donated
and supported the cause.
We hope you’ll sit back, relax, and enjoy the articles
and images of our summer issue. Thanks for everything
Aroostook; we’ll see you in October.
