Who makes the best potato salad among the employees at Coastal Maine Popcorn?

A discussion on such at the Boothbay Harbor business has been turned into a fun contest.

On Tuesday, April 12, between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., anyone can visit the store at 15 Townsend Ave. to try the five or six potato salads made by the employees and vote for their favorite. In return for the vote, owners Julie and Paul Roberts will give you a free small bag of popcorn.

“It all started with a discussion about summer barbecues and when the topic of potato salad came up, we thought it would be a good idea to hold a contest,” said Julie.

The employee who gets the most votes will receive $100, said Julie.

“I haven’t told my employees yet, but if I win, they need to pool their money to pay me,” said Julie in jest.
