Donna J. Snay

          I remember the day so well. It was back in the summer of 2015 that I received an unsolicited phone call from a Donna J. Snay in South Paris. Donna was a REALTOR® who was ‘interviewing’ real estate agencies after the one she was with closed down. We made an appointment for her to come to Kezar Realty for a [...]

The 2019 'fully magnetic' Kezar Realty calendars are hot off the press! Feel free to stop by the office for your very own copy or pick one up at some of the local stores. Not in Lovell? Send me an email at stan@kezarrealty.com and I will be happy to send you one or two in the mail.

For the past two years, some eagle-eye folks have spotted an error or two on our calendars.Minor things like the dates starting on the wrong day of the week or November having an extra day but not very helpful if you want to use the calendar for planning purposes! Well, this year, our printer, Nat Beal at The Write Stuff and myself, took extra time to make sure that there were no mistakes. I can now certify that the 2019 Kezar Realty calendar is 100% accurate! The same cannot be said for a local bank that uses local photographers' photos each month (including Lovell's Pam Bliss in May). I was using their calendar to proof my draft and discovered that they cut December short by one day! I sure did enjoy pointing out to them their mistake.

As always, do you want your fridge to be without this calendar?

Thanksgiving came early this year and so did the snow (and the snow kept coming and coming!) That equates to extra time for shopping. Normally, that means making trips to the mall in South Portland or to the outlets in Freeport, Kittery or North Conway.

To make your 2018 holiday season more enjoyable, my suggestion is to shop local. We [...]

Sunshine Backpack for Kids Program

Lovell's First Annual Bowls and Brews took place on Saturday, November 10th. By every measure, it was a roaring success. More than $1,500 was raised for the MSAD 72 Sunshine Backpack Food Program. About 80 people came to the Lovell VFW Hall to enjoy 15 chilis and sample a variety of craft [...]

For those that remember, Lovell's Chili Challenge always was a popular event. Not only did it attract local chefs entering their 'special' recipe, people came from all over to taste a variety of very good chili. And to top it all off, significant funds were raised for the [...]

Ethel -- Thanks for all the columns!

Prior to receiving a recent phone call, I was completely unaware of the important role that the Local Health Officer plays in the rural communities throughout Maine. Every year, I see the position listed under Town Officers in the Annual Report but never gave it much [...]

The 2018 New England Patriots’ Magnetic Football Schedule has arrived at Kezar Realty. As always, the schedules will be available in local stores. If you can’t make it to Lovell, feel free to drop me an email at stan@fairpoint.net and I will send one (or two) your way.

The story of Lovell in the 20th century cannot be told without a considerable amount of attention paid to Severance Lodge. Located on the eastern shore of Kezar Lake's Middle Bay, Severance Lodge has majestic views up and down the lake as well as the White Mountains to the west. Over the decades, Severance Lodge served as an introduction to the region for many guests with some deciding to have a primary or second home in [...]
