Mother’s Day

There’s nothing quite like May in Waterville. The sunshine lasts a little longer, flowers start to bloom, and there’s that unmistakable feeling that warmer days are here to stay. Whether it’s grabbing a bite downtown, walking along the Kennebec, or getting your garden going, this time of year is all about fresh starts and reconnecting with our community.

Mother’s Day, Made Local

With Mother’s Day coming up, it’s a great time to celebrate the moms and mother figures who’ve done so much for us. Whether you’re planning a relaxed morning or something a little more special, Waterville offers some wonderful local options:

• The Robin’s Nest – Bright, seasonal flower arrangements made right here in town.
• Holy Cannoli – Sweet treats and coffee that make for a perfect Mother’s Day stop.
• Front & Main – A great setting for brunch, dinner, or a memorable family meal.
• Loyal Biscuit Co. – A fun visit for pet moms who want to treat their four-legged companions.

Local businesses like these are part of what makes Waterville feel like home—and they make it easy to celebrate Mother’s Day in a personal and meaningful way.

Reflecting and Remembering

Later in the month, Memorial Day reminds us to pause and honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. It’s a moment of reflection that brings deeper meaning to this season of new beginnings.

Grilling Season & Summer Drives

Memorial Day weekend also signals the unofficial start of summer—and around here, that means backyard BBQs, long weekends, and trips to camp. If you’re planning to fire up the grill, Emery’s Meat & Produce and Joseph’s Market have everything you need—from fresh meats to local ingredients and must-have cookout essentials.

And when the meal winds down, it’s the perfect time to hit the road. Whether you’re heading to the coast, exploring new corners of Maine, or simply taking a leisurely drive with the windows down, May is made for road trips.

As we step into this new season, we hope you find time to enjoy everything Waterville has to offer—great food, time with loved ones, and the start of something new.

Here’s to a bright and beautiful May.

What’s the most rewarding part of working in sales for you? “The most rewarding part of working in sales is the ability to get out what you put in while meeting new people in the process. You are a product of the work you put in and it allows you to make new connections along the way.”

What is something valuable you have learned during your career at CMMAG? “Something valuable that I have learned during my career at CMMAG, is that proper organizational skills and time management are crucial in and outside of the workplace. Being able to work with so many people of diverse needs and wants makes keeping track of everyone an integral part of your growth. Not just when it comes to work, but in any aspect of your life.”

What is your favorite CMMAG memory? “My favorite CMMAG memory was being tossed in the back of a Ram Promaster during my transition from our Ford dealership to our Chrysler location. It was very fun seeing my movement between the locations.”

If you could take any car on a road trip this summer, where would you go and what vehicle would you take? “If I could take any vehicle on a road trip this summer, it would HAVE to be the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona. At my ripe young age, I am easily pleased by loud noises and could pay less attention to the lumbar support. Being able to cruise down the coastline through New England to Florida would make one fun summer trip!”
