Yesterday's Bigfoot Shenanigans....and now this!

Well, well, well… Hallmark has discovered the magic of a Pumpkin Regatta! 🛶💕

Our DMs have been buzzing and yes we see it too! Hallmark Channel's new movie Pumpkin Regatta Romance is hitting screens and we have to say, we are not surprised one bit. 😄

For the record the Damariscotta Pumpkinfest Regatta has indeed been the scene of a real life engagement. 💍 Romance on the river is nothing new around here.

Now did Hallmark consult us this season? No. No they did not. 😂

But are we still going to tune in with our popcorn and cheer them on? Absolutely. 🍿🧡

Catch Pumpkin Regatta Romance on Hallmark Channel and then come see the REAL thing right here in Damariscotta on Sunday, October 11th at Noon! We promise the giant pumpkin boats are just as romantic. 🎃🛶

FYI!

If you have tried calling Skidompha today, you may have run into some problems -- calls that have not connected at all, or just been too garbled to hear. We are so sorry for the confusion, and we are working on getting it fixed ASAP. In the meantime, we encourage people to come on in and talk to us in person, visit our website, or email a staff member.

Thank you so much for your patience!
