The holidays can remind us of many things. An email arrived this morning to our Ogunquit hotel from our friends at the Links at Outlook in South Berwick. Jeff and his team at this wonderful golf course have had a busy year. They run golf outings, tournaments, lessons, leagues and also opened an outstanding function and event facility – The Red Barn at Outlook Farm.

For those of you who have been to Outlook Farm, this family business is a working partnership of many minds. Overlooking the beautiful vista of Mt. Agamenticus, our guests have enjoyed the 18 hole Championship course for many years (We offer a Tee & Sea Golf Getaway that includes their GPS golf carts and dinner). This year, they opened the Red Barn for weddings and functions from event dinners to Sunday brunch.

As one of the largest event facilities in Southern Maine, the Red Barn was quite an undertaking to build. A post and beam building with just over a year to complete and has already been home to weddings, parties and more. One can imagine that the year was very busy for the Link at Outlook team.

Yet the email this morning was not about a successful season or booking a wedding in Maine. Instead, the email simply encouraged their patrons to visit the site Let’s Say Thanks. Choose from many designs made by children across America and Xerox will send a card saying thank you to soldier this holiday season.

Enjoy friends and family and all the best for safe and happy travels. And if you get a moment in the hustle and bustle, send a thank you to a soldier this holiday season.

Thanks to the folks at Outlook for their email – and Happy Thanksgiving from Ogunquit!
