Maine Moose Lottery in Jackman

Posted by tami cozycove on in Jackman Events, Jackman Maine

What a fun weekend in Jackman. The Maine Moose Lottery Drawing was held here on June 11th, sponsored by the Town of Jackman and the JMRRCOC.  Jackman was chosen for this event in 2020, then the pandemic happened.  What an opportunity for this little town. It really was only a one day event but there were comedians and bands on Friday and Saturday  also

We had a huge tent set up for demonstrations, a comedian, moose calling and a reading, and of course the drawing of 4000 names which started at 2pm.

 We had around 50 vendors who participated, both local and from other towns selling handmade items, mounts, guide services, lodging and of course, food vendors offering hot doge, burgers, cotton candy, ice cream, pizza, and local maple products.

We even had a Moose Monster truck giving rides to kids and adults, Timber Tina demonstrating ax throwing and log sawing, and a bouncy house and games for the kids.

Our local “friend of the Forest” Moose made his rounds all day long entertaining guests.

So if you are driving through town before July 4th, look up at the poles, you may see a moose or 21 along the way.

Posted by tami cozycove on in ATV Jackman Maine, Fishing, Jackman Events, Summer Fun

What a beautiful day today. The lake water is finally receding and we almost have a lawn agajn. We are still not able to put out the dock but soon.

Our quests this weekend are boating and fishing (one caught a nice 17 inch trout last night) and since our trails opened yesterday, many are out enjoying the ATV trails.

Of course, we are also remembering those lost while serving our country. God bless.
