The woman who ran a Maine country inn for more than 20 years can retire now that she has found a new owner through an essay contest. Janice Sage from the Center Lovell Inn & Restaurant on Saturday picked the contest winner, whose name was not immediately disclosed. Sage had also taken ownership of the inn, a three-story building with seven guestrooms and stunning views of the White Mountains, by winning an essay contest. Sage had said she expected more than 7,500 entries, meaning she would receive more than $900,000 at $125 per entry. She said she plans to use the money for her retirement. (AP)
