When I first moved here, I was stunned by the beauty of the area. The beautiful harbor, the small islands in the distance, the mountains at my back. I found it to be a natural place to host weddings and receptions. I was amazed when some people didn’t see the opportunities I saw in this quaint little town. I was recently at a town meeting and I was pleasantly surprised when someone had an idea for a project. A simple project but one that I thought was important. This gentleman was asking for $3,000 to make a brochure of all the town owned park areas. I am not familiar with all the areas mentioned yet, but look forward to trying to find them. When you come to visit I will help direct you to the best ones. I do have favorite spots in Camden!
