So much energy in our little town this spring; there are over 25 new businesses in Camden this year!

This weekend starts a new Camden downtown tradition called Business is Blooming - Friday thru Sunday Camden will be having extended shopping hours and sidewalk sales!

Last Friday evening one of our coolest new businesses had a little party: the Bamboo Bike Studio served delicious refreshments and let us peek around at the space where they hold workshops to make these bamboo bikes - there are only three other workshop locations in the world: San Francisco, Toronto, and Greensboro!  Pictures below are from that evening.

We hope you can join us this weekend or some time soon to check out everything that’s “blooming” in Camden lately!

Camden is looking so great. Yes, it’s early spring blooms and warm temperatures (as officially noted in my previous post). But it’s also the businesses: we have some cool new energy about town! I bought a few Mother’s Day gifts in the just-opened lavender store Glendarragh on Main Street–everything is made from locally-grown lavender, so just walking by their door you get a relaxing and therapeutic contact high! And three new businesses are moving in on Mechanic Street: Leslie Curtis Designs, Sugar Tools, and a bookstore. Stay tuned for their arrival on our site!

I don’t really have a good sequitur into this picture I took by the Camden Yacht Club on my Sunday morning jog…I just think it’s utterly irresistable!
