In 2020, Boothbay received approval for a $250,000 federal grant and a local match from Southport businessman Paul Coulombe to upgrade Clifford Park. Town Manager Dan Bryer expects work to begin next summer which will provide a long overdue park renovation. While the funding arrives in the future, Bryer credits past work of a group of community members in making the project a reality. The project began last year with a major assist from Farrin & Sons, Boothbay resident Tom Nickerson, Boothbay Civic Association and Boothbay Region Water District.

Hear ye, hear ye! The popular Men’s Night holiday sale event in Boothbay Harbor is Wednesday, Dec. 16.
Over the past 30 or so years, the evening arrived with super discounts printed in the Boothbay Register and heralded by a town crier; often that role was played by Peter Panagore who would walk the street announcing sales; there was a petting zoo set up near Logan’s, Pat Farrin offered hayrides, the Y-Arts group would be out caroling; there were gift wrapping stations, grilled foods over at Slicks and Janson’s . good times in our very special community.
