Good morning!


This week, we're thrilled to share 30 quintessential things to do in Maine, including favorites like visiting Gardens Aglow at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens or eating at the Yarmouth Clam Festival, but also taking in Maine Wildlife Park, hiking to Screw Auger Falls and cheering at a Maine Celtics game.



Later this week, we'll see some rain. Perfect time to hit the couch and grab that remote. Head to Netflix to stream the new romcom "The Threesome," written by Bowdoinham native Ethan Ogilby.


Central Maine sure knows how to keep busy. This week's roundup features 11 events, including comic Bob Marley in Waterville and an appearance by author and autism advocate Temple Grandin in Augusta.

MEANINGFUL ART
