With the onset of fall, Rock Gardens Inn's 100th year has come to a close. While we are sad to see everyone go (the season went by far too quickly), we have many wonderful memories to carry us through until next year. It was very exciting seeing so many returning guests, catching up, and participating in RGI traditions both old and new. Old traditions such as cookouts, cocktail parties, and contra dances, and new traditions such as campfire stories, cookout activities including games and a visiting naturalist, hoola hoop dance, lectures, movies, music in the lobby of the Inn, and bingo, were enjoyed by both guests and staff throughout the summer. And making these great activities even better was some of the best summer weather we have enjoyed in years!
There is one other component in the making of a amazing summer here at the Inn, and that is the staff. We had a wonderful staff this summer, both old hands and newcomers, all of whom provided our guests with excellent service. Not to mention those staff members who pulled double duty and led, or joined in during some of the activities this summer! As we do every year we held a staff party after closing, and we have included some pictures from it. We will also be posting a video from a musical interlude during the staff party, so make sure to check our website in the coming weeks!
We hope that you enjoyed our 100th as much as we did. Now that it's over, we are looking forward to planning a new century on the Maine coast for Rock Gardens Inn. We hope you'll join us!
