We’re excited to announce Lilies from Casco as a new advertiser in the Lakes Region Area Guide!

 

Owned by Carol Chaffee, Lilies is much more than a florist. In addition to beautiful annuals, perennials, hanging baskets, window boxes, and seasonal décor, Carol offers a unique container-fill service—customers can leave their pots and baskets with her in the fall and pick them up in the spring already planted, blooming, and ready to enjoy. Pickup and delivery are also available, making it easy to add beauty to every season.

We sincerely thank Carol and Lilies for supporting our local businesses, our area guide, and the communities we all love. Please support the businesses that help keep our local economy strong.

 

To learn more about advertising in the Lakes Region Area Guide, please contact Sue Mercer at lakesregionmarketing@gmail.com. We'd love to help you showcase your business to both local residents and visitors throughout the Lakes Region.

Pay it Forward in Our Lakes Region

One of the things that makes our community so special is how we support one another.

Some local businesses are thriving, while others may be going through a slower season. Sometimes, a small gesture can make a big difference.

If your business is doing well, consider “paying it forward” by sponsoring a local business in the Lakes Region Area Guide.

For $300, they’ll receive a full year of visibility through the Guide, our newsletter, and local Facebook groups—helping them get seen and supported within the community.

No pressure at all—just an idea rooted in community.

Because when we support local businesses, we all grow stronger together.

Inspirational Thought - 

💙 

Sometimes the most meaningful progress happens quietly.

A kind word…
A walk outside…
Finishing one small task…
Helping someone in your community…

These moments may seem ordinary, but over time they build a beautiful life.

You don’t have to do everything today. Just keep moving forward one step at a time — and trust that those small steps are leading somewhere worthwhile.

Health Tip of The Day

Prioritize hydration—start your morning with a full glass of water.
After hours of sleep, your body is naturally dehydrated. Drinking water first thing helps kickstart your metabolism, improve focus, and support digestion.

If you want to level it up, add a slice of lemon for a bit of vitamin C and flavor. Small habit, big long-term impact.

Coming in July!
