Maine Sea Goddess Log 2012
This
year I will not be home during the Lobster Festival. Therefore I’m depending on
you, my loyal readers, who are attending, to send me some shots of the
princesses and the Sea Goddess.
For
all things Festival, I can suggest you go to two Facebook pages: Maine Sea
Goddess Coronation Committee Page and Maine Lobster Festival Page.
Here are some photos
I’ve come across so far. Please send me any photos you have to share of the
princesses; the Goddess; at the pageant; on the grounds; or in the parade. All
shots will be used in this log and much appreciated. (As of today, Aug. 25, many more photos have been added to the Maine Sea Goddess facebook page.)

“It becomes clear very early on that this is
far more than a beauty pageant, This is all about creating Ambassadors for the
State of Maine, this is about helping the next business and community leaders
take their first steps toward those leadership positions.” From Rocky
Coast News.
