CENTER LOVELL, Maine — Lynda Rasco and Bill Rudd, owners of Harvest Gold Gallery, recently returned from a romantic getaway at the Omni Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, where they marked their 40th anniversary. They went skiing, enjoyed delicious food and went on hunts around the hotel to find the perfect view of the sunset during a stormy weekend.
Rudd chuckled: “The last time we were here (many years ago) they wanted to charge us $5 just to walk around the hotel. They must have known then we couldn’t afford that.”
