After spending time in downtown Calais, the Collins for Senator bus made a couple more stops before heading out to lunch. The first was in Pembroke at Morgan's Convenience Store and the second was at the Whiting Village Store. At both stops Senator Collins' supporters braved the wind and were on hand to welcome her to their wonderful towns. After these two exciting stops it was time for lunch at Helen's and the Blue Bird Ranch. Both restaurants serve delectable food that satisfied all.

The first stop today was at the Airline Snackbar in Beddington. Senator Collins had the opportunity to speak with a number of people, including many hunters fresh out of the woods on this the first day of hunting season.

A surge of energy ripped through the Collins' Bus as the doors opened to the Kittery Trading Post. The Senator, who has kayaked her entire life, was excited to see the most recent kayak equipment and the latest kayak models. As she pursued the aisles in the trading post, she was able to talk with constituents about her support of the great outdoors.

Senator Collins, accompanied by an enthusiastic group of supporters including high school students from Mt. Ararat who spent the day on the Collins' Bus tour, visited the Eliot Town Republican Headquaters where she had the opportunity to talk with Representative Sally Lewin, Senator Mary Andrews and other volunteers.

The next stop of the morning was downtown Cornish. The Senator stopped into the Parkview Salon and Lily's Flowershop. While Senator Collins was visiting the shops, the students from Mount Ararat High School who are riding the bus with the Senator waved signs at passing cars. The amount of support from the town residents and drivers passing by was overwhelming and made for a great time in beautiful Cornish.

The second stop this morning was Jongerden's Market in North Limington. A large crowd of the Senator's supporters were gathered outside to greet Senator Collins, despite the chilly air.
