An Interesting Idea - Will It Work?

The owner of a Maine country inn valued at $905,000 has plans to give it all away to the winner of an essay contest.



Janice Sage, the owner of the Center Lovell Inn and Restaurant, said applicants must be eager to run the business and convey their qualifications in an impeccably crafted 200-word essay. Sage hopes to get at least 7,500 paid submissions by May 17. At $125 per entry, that would be enough to cover the estimated value of the 210-year-old establishment, plus an additional $20,000 for the next owner.

The hotel is located about 55 miles northwest of Portland, Maine, and offers sweeping views of New Hampshire’s snow-capped mountains.  (Details of the contest - Centre Lovell Essay Contest.)
