More Venues to (Possibly) Consider

As Katelyn and I continue to try and narrow down where we're going to stage this whole wedding deal, we're still left with a few more places on our list to consider as we enter the home stretch and face the reality of needing to lock in a venue before all of the good weekends in October 2010 are locked up.

Some of these venues have already been discussed here while some simply fell off our radar when we went searching and weren't ever mentioned.  Also, unlike my prior lists, we actually do have pricing information for most of these venue locations.  In any case, here are some venues still on the table that we might need to go visit in person to consider on our overall list.

Now, chances are we won't be able to commit the time and effort to visiting all of these places.  Since I can only have one poll question going at a time on the blog, I'm asking those of you who have the time to look at these websites to leave a comment saying which places seem most interesting from the above list.  We might be able to go check out some places this Sunday (October 4th) and we'll be visiting at least the Linekin Bay Resort, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, and Clark's Cove Farm with my parents the weekend after.

At this point, we're facing a bit of venue burnout.  Any help you guys can offer us would be definitely appreciated.
