It was cold at 6 a.m. on Saturday morning, Nov. 22. It was 26 degrees Fahrenheit in Boothbay Harbor to be exact.
But that didn’t keep a lot of early risers, or “early birds,” from venturing out in their pajamas to get a head start on their Christmas shopping.
They were out in droves to get the best deals — the earlier the better — at the Early Bird sales in the harbor. Most stores were offering 20 to 50 percent off storewide, and the cold weather didn’t seem to be a deterrent.
Hot coffee was being served on the library lawn by Sarah Morley, Kathy Frizzell and Danielle Driscoll of the Boothbay Register. Driscoll was also offering 25 percent off discounts on new subscriptions to the Boothbay Register and Wiscasset Newspaper.
All in all, it was a fun time, and a successful Early Bird morning for Boothbay Harbor retailers and restaurants.
