Marketing Cents 4u Announces the first Annual ‘Harbor Fest’ Event

Boothbay Harbor, ME – August 2, 2012 – Plans are underway for the first annual ‘Harbor Fest, scheduled to take place in downtown Boothbay Harbor on Saturday, September 29^th.  Event originators, Heather O’Brien and Lori Pecor of Marketing Cents 4u created the Harbor Fest event with the intent to ‘celebrate our unique harbor, showcase the businesses and artists within it, add a grand finale to the BBHR Chamber of Commerce Restaurant Week, promote the spectacular fall season on our peninsula and give back to the community by supporting those who support those in need.

The event will offer a variety of unique opportunities for businesses and community members to participate and support the effort to further expose our region beyond the summer months and is being widely promoted throughout the state of Maine and New England.  Proceeds will benefit the Lincoln County Rebuilding Together and the event will also feature the local community effort ‘Pick up a Paintbrush’; a fundraiser to help raise awareness about the serious effects of Lyme Disease, a growing epidemic in the state of Maine, in honor of local artist, Pamela Creamer.
