The Lady's Day Out, the annual fun-filled, day-long event is slated for Saturday, November 20.

"Women of all ages turned out in droves last year," said LDO organizer Jessica Jones who dreamed up the idea and launched the town-wide event with little fanfare.

Under sunny skies legions of girls could be seen darting in and out of shops carrying bags of loot along the entire length of Main Street, Jones reminisced.

"Seeing that many people out and about on foot was a first for Bridgton," said Jones. "Shop owners, eager to promote their unique businesses, handed out gifts, held raffles, and touted discounts throughout the day."

This year's LDO will follow the same plan, but six new vendors have been added bringing the total to 25.
