Fewer people in rural Maine means more involvement of those people to make their own fun.

Home grown not store bought and way way more involvement in local Maine community events.  There are so many events that you have to pace yourself and be careful not to get over involved, over extended. But when you are planning to be at the local happening, might as well be part of putting it on is the motto of many hard working local Maine citizens that live and work in these smaller, off the beaten path towns. For example, this weekend, June 20th is the 14th Annual Northern Maine Soap Box Derby race.

Houlton ME has its own Derby Hill specially engineered like the one in Akron Ohio at the All American Soap Box Derby event every kid dreams of being in. The Houlton ME event has led to success in Akron Ohio with Jeff Holmes placing second from a huge field of racers.

Watch the last two years soap box derby races.

 

And the Fourth Of July Houlton ME parade, fair, midnight madness events all draw a crowd year after year. Watch the Houlton Maine video from last year's Houlton Maine Fair four day event.

 

Plan to come see the Houlton Maine 2009 Agricultural Fair at Community Park Thursday July 2nd Thru Sunday July 5th, 2009.

Two Police Officers From The South Move to Houlton Maine...And Say Same Thing.

One new Houlton ME police officer from Southern Florida, the other from North Carolina and both say same thing.

Where they came from, law enforcement was reactive...reacting to a crime here, there, all the time. In Maine, the 4th lowest crime state, both says law enforcement here is pro-active. They get into the maine lake scene,schools for the DARE program, teach students police are not bad, or the enemy or someone to be afraid of or avoided.

    

There is a citizens academy where seminars on law enforcement and how the public can help are held in Houlton Maine.

The participants of a citizen's group get certificates and understand better the job and challenges police officers have.

     Where you have wall to wall people, crime comes with the territory as the population squeezes in, the traffic increase and tempers flare. Are you a city mouse or a country mouse or both?

What is the local community like? Don't just tell them.

Show them with local community videos of the area you peddle real estate in. Tell the 85% of folks who go on line to look for real estate, to search out and research a new area they know nothing about that you saved them the best seat in the house at the local events. Take them to school events, local sporting events, a tour of the downtown, a run down of the local banks, etc. Show them the local lakes, the video for all the local churches. Invite them into your canoe and take them down the annual spring races and serve them up a hot dog on the other end. Be friendly, be helpful, shoot - edit- post local community video. You the broker are the local tour guide, the guy or gal that lives here. Don't just write about, blog about, brag about homes and real estate. Get the viewer and listener up to speed on the local happenings of the area like this Houlton Maine graduation excercise that happened in the Millar Civic Center.

Why real estate for a job? What lead to this decision and how many years have your been listing, marketing, selling real estate?

What's your story and do you have one to tell, share?

Other cultures want you to sit down, tell them about you, your family so they can decide if they want to do business or not with you.

Unlike the American way to whip out a contract, tap your fingers with impatience and keep looking at your watch to try your darndest to speed the process along because you are busy, on the clock. What is your story?
