It's homecoming weekend in Biddeford! Although I went to Kennebunk High School, I know just how much fun homecoming weekend is, no matter where you live. It's all about celebrating the community and cheering on the local team, so don't miss the Biddeford High School homecoming football game on Friday night!
There are even more fun things to do in Biddeford and Saco this weekend, including lots of live music, free beer tastings, and a craft festival. Don't be bored in Maine — check out the great local events in the Things to Do section of the newsletter!
In this week's newsletter: Read about this year's Pillars of Pride event in Biddeford, a UNE pier review update, and Biddeford Oktoberfest.
As always, feel free to email me with story ideas and photos!
