2 Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies The Arcade Area Chamber of Commerce was on hand to cut the ribbon for the official welcoming of Highwater Hobbies on Friday, July 11, Officially open on December 13, 2013 by Don Boehmer as a way to combine his passion and hobby into a business where he can share his love of water sports with others, Highwater Hobbies has seen great success thus far. Located right on Route 16 in Machias and in such close proximity to Lime Lake has proven to be a great location not just to have the kayaks seen by those passing by, but also to be able to give lessons and allow customers to try out the various types of vessels that he sells. Boehmer even encourages his customers to try out the kayak prior to purchasing, to ensure they have what will work best for them. If you are an experienced paddler that is out for the adrenaline rush or you are a beginner just looking for a nice ride along the ponds and streams, Highwater Hobbies has what you are looking for. With sport kayaks, recreational kayaks, personal floatation devices and all the gear and safety equipment to go along with it, this really is a one stop shop. Chamber President Dan Hoffman said, It is great to see a younger member of the area be so committed to keeping business in his hometown. The excitement shows through when Mr. Boehmer talks about his store and we wish him all the best luck!
