In Small Maine Towns, Fourth Of Julys, Parades, State Fairs And Local Events Are Huge.

Fewer people in rural Maine means more involvement of those people to make their own fun.

Home grown not store bought and way way more involvement in local Maine community events.  There are so many events that you have to pace yourself and be careful not to get over involved, over extended. But when you are planning to be at the local happening, might as well be part of putting it on is the motto of many hard working local Maine citizens that live and work in these smaller, off the beaten path towns. For example, this weekend, June 20th is the 14th Annual Northern Maine Soap Box Derby race.

Houlton ME has its own Derby Hill specially engineered like the one in Akron Ohio at the All American Soap Box Derby event every kid dreams of being in. The Houlton ME event has led to success in Akron Ohio with Jeff Holmes placing second from a huge field of racers.

Watch the last two years soap box derby races.

 

And the Fourth Of July Houlton ME parade, fair, midnight madness events all draw a crowd year after year. Watch the Houlton Maine video from last year's Houlton Maine Fair four day event.

 

Plan to come see the Houlton Maine 2009 Agricultural Fair at Community Park Thursday July 2nd Thru Sunday July 5th, 2009.

Had two of my own kids make it to the world series and winning heats in Akron is a feat in itself. They launch one time, three in a row so 2/3 rds of your field is wiped out in one trip down the famous hill.

Hi Andy, I just love small towns, and someday will move to a very small town again. Nothing like it. I would live in Mayberry if I could only find it. And I want the front screen door to squeak and slam shut.

Andrea...you have just found Mayberry. I am Andy..Aunt Bea has some peach cobbler cooling off on the kitchen window sill..have a seat, drink this iced tea and enjoy the day.
