And as Valentines Day approaches, don’t forget to love your Downtown and shop locally!

Happy New Year! 2012 has arrived and snow is on its way here in Maine. Luckily Bath still has lots going on to keep you warm and active during the next few months, between concerts at the Chocolate Church, movies at the Dreamland Theater, and wonderful year-round shopping in our downtown. And after a day of hiking the Whiskeag Trail or skating on Goddard Pond, it’s nice to warm up with a hot drink at one of Bath’s downtown restaraunts.
