Our Weekend Adventures

Brandi and I took the opportunity to go spend some time with my family this past weekend.

My home town of Millinocket had some great events that my father was a part of so it was nice to go spend some time with the family and help my father celebrate his successes.

Millinocket is a big snow sledding community - and given the weather we have had recently up here, its surprising that there is any snow left, but there were some snow sleds running this past weekend!!

So the first celebration was the ribbon cutting of the Multi-Use trail that connects downtown Millinocket to the ITS Trail system. Its a great opportunity for the community and for down town. Below is the ribbon cutting ceremony. Congressman Mike Michaud was the one cutting the ribbon. Dad is on the far right!

From downtown, we traveled a few miles up the road to cut the ribbon on the multi-use trail suspension bridge that crosses the river. What a great feature for the trail to have!

Check out this bridge!

So, its not the Golden Gate, but it's a great win for Millinocket!

The first people to cross the bridge was congressman Michaud and Rudy Pelletier, of the America Loggers.

ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Here comes everyone else!!

Here is the group cutting the ribbon opening the bridge - the woman cutting the ribbon is a Representative from the Governor's office. The governor was suppose to be there, but I guess he was in Washington with the President and the other Governors. I was happy to see a Representative!!

And what is a trip to Millinocket without checking out the newest restaurant in town:

The Pelletier Loggers' Family Restaurant

Brandi and I got a great tour of the restaurant and its going to be fantastic, can't wait for my first beer at one of the two bars!

If you haven't watched - the newest season of America Loggers on the Discovery Channel premiered last Friday featuring the Pelletier Family and their Millinocket business.

Here is another view of the restaurant.

To wrap up the weekend, we had a good old fashioned pig roast!

It was a great end to a great weekend - although after spending most of the day around the pig and serving and cleaning up after the dinner ---- I wasn't in much of a mood to eat the pig.

They say it was good though!

Congratulations Millinocket on a great weekend.

Great Job Dad!

Way to go Pelletier Family and here is to another great season!
