Maine Tour and Season Kickoff

The spring season kick off is in full force! Kevin McKinstry, Westervelt Sporting Lodges Manager, and MBR Lodge Manager Katherine Hughes headed to the Maine Sportsman’s Show (April 2-4), where many attendees were interested in the lodge. Even more fun was catching up with current clients at our booth, where we were visited by a special guest, Lucy,  the National Field Champion Cocker Spaniel, from Dixmont, Maine.

Congratulations to Paul and Elley from Bethel, Maine. They won a three-day fishing trip for the 2010 fishing season and we thank them for stopping by our booth at the show.

Augusta, Maine, was very welcoming during our stay. We had two great dining experiences: the first at Slates in Hallowell, just down the road from Maine’s state capitol building and the second at the Wharf, which is just down the main drag from Slates.


If you are traveling through this summer (maybe en route to MBR!) and are looking for a nice place to eat, stop by Slates. You can read their reviews on Urbanspoon. Good music and the Maritimes go hand-in-hand, so you definitely don’t want to miss the Wharf. You can also see their reviews on Urbanspoon. Kevin is a chicken wing expert of “world renown,” and highly recommends the wings served at the Wharf.

The week was finalized by having lunch at The Anglers' Club of New York in Manhattan with new friend and author of “Land of Little Rivers” Austin McK. Francis. His website is: http://beaverkillpress.com/ and is positively beautiful to visit.
