Come to the Foothills Food Festival and learn about the Lakeside Norway project, where Norway Brewing Company will expand its brew haus! The Lakeside Norway Great Northern Docks custom stage is set up… Toby McAllister and band are doing sound checks and the craft beer and food trucks are arriving! This is a ticketed event so get on down to Norway, Maine for 2pm today!
Steve Bond, steersperson of the Maine Dragon Boat Club, critiques his paddlers following their maiden paddle across Lake Pennesseewassee. The club’s boat is docked at the end of our low-impact PMD floating boat slip dock system, which was designed by Great Northern Docks. This type of dock system is rigid and stable enough to enable all 20 paddlers to be on the dock at the same time in order to board and disembark from their dragon boat safely.
Dragon boating has become an international trend as it has proven to be a highly effective team-building activity, a great way to exercise as well as physical therapy for breast cancer survivors. We couldn’t be more thrilled that this new club has come to call Lakeside Norway their headquarters. #dragonboat #dragonboatlife #dragonboating #dragonboatfestival
We want to give a shout out to Ripley and Fletcher Ford for the use of their golf carts for our events! We have retired folk, mom’s with young ones, disabled vets and whole families coming to see the outdoor movies on our AIRSCREEN! It’s brand partnerships like this that make the magic happen! #togetherwecan
Thank you all who came to Footloose (1984) on the AIRSCREEN! It was quite the show! #maine #outdoors #beattheheat #lightning
For the Footloose (1984)movie night at Lakeside—this Thursday—in order to help people stay cool before dusk—not only will the sprinklers be on to jump thru, the Great Northern Docks PMD dock will be open for swimming. Here’s Isaac showing you how to cannonball! Swimming will be at your own risk & kids must be supervised by an adult! #cannonball #maine #lakelife
Storm water management on lakefront properties is critical for protecting the water quality of our lakes, ponds, streams & watersheds.
The runoff from this derelict commercial property into Lake Pennesseewassee during major rain events has been happening unchecked for over 25 years. Until now. Until Lakeside Norway.
Right now, temporary measures installed by Pleasant Hill Property Services, LLC—using DEP approved best management practices—have put a stop to uncontrolled runoff that comes from the highway, compromised asphalt parking areas and the main roof of the warehouse. Rushing water carrying silt is redirected by erosion control socks and caught in catch basins made of erosion control mulch. There the water pools and silt that contains any pollutants including phosphorus can settle so that the water is filtered and can calmly permeate through to the lawn area, preventing both contamination of the lake water and unnecessary erosion of the shoreline.
Here’s a glimpse of what we’ve done. We can’t wait to install the permanent measures we have in our regenerative landscape design from Sebago Technics!
What a great turn out for the Fat Bike Rally! Here’s the Engle family volunteering to help direct racers at the Witt’s Extension junction with Grumpypants! Thank you Engles!!
Thank you Western Foothills Land Trust for entrusting Lakeside & Norway Brewing Company to return Shepard's Farm Family Preserve, Witt Swamp Preserve, Witt's End Trail to its intended glory as a 4-season bike trail system for all abilities. We will continue grooming as long as weather holds (we will not be grooming the Witt Swamp trail).
Check out the directional signage from Grassroots Graphics on the trees. All trails have been marked. Enjoy!! #mainewinter
Thanks also to 290 Maine Street & X Vault Pub & Provisions for the excellent gift certificates for top finishers and the The Lake Store for donating firewood! #ittakesavillage
The Lakeside ice rinks are in the works! Thanks Pleasant Hill Property Services, LLC for bringing your green machines from Avant Tecno USA over to help snow-blow and scrape the ice!
