Outside your real estate operation, do you have flowers or is everything paved, brick, institutionized office look?

Maine flowers are short lived but new ones come in before, after each season if you stagger it right. Here is a peek our my front door in Houlton Maine. I am lucky to live half the year 32 feet from work..and to zip to a lake home the other half nine miles away. Here's are today's actors.

Say it with video...let's watch the Maine events rather than talk about them!

For starters, on a summer night, when it's Thursday, you head for the park to hear McGill's Band.

 

You have kids who don't want to wait until they are sixteen to drive a car. This is where they learn the "thrill of the hill" and how to soap box derby race on our own engineer hill. The Northern Maine Soap Box Derby race was the nation's largest five years in a row with close to 200 racers competing.

 

You would enjoy the Meduxnekeag River Canoe Race too....

You like parades, fair food and rides..and want to see the exhibits, fireworks and just what the Houlton Agriculture Fair is all about.

 

Lakes..lots of lakes in the Houlton Maine area..and this is what Drews Lake looks like....

 

It's winter and we don't hibernate in Northern Maine / Southern Aroostook County. Let's go skiing..or should be snowsled?

 

Families and doing things with your kids..like this music duet...

 

Midnight Madness..when sales are the best, the businesses open up and all kinds of street events happen in Houlton Maine.

 

Rotary's First Bingo Night...

 

And the Rotary Auction...

And high school graduation for Houlton Maine... 

And picking potatoes..Houlton Maine youth learning work ethic..how to earn money, save money.

And the high school prom in Houlton Maine... 

And a spirited local Maine hockey game...

Or local high school basketball game...

Pirates..Short Ones, Tall Ones Invade Houlton Maine For Midnight Madness!

All of a sudden, a picturesque small Northern Maine town that is mild mannered, wholesome and law abiding becomes chaos.

Helter skelter. Batton down the hatches, hoist the sail, we're going ashore. Oh oh. Pirates invade downtown Houlton  ME for Midnight Madness, a retailer's delight. The 4th of July is a big deal in small Maine local communities.

Everyone, I mean everyone volunteers to help put the event on from the state agricultural fair's exhibits, horse and small animal judging to the parades, fireworks, rides and food provided to local and out of towners who meander in for the nation's birthday.

Here's is a video snapshot of Houlton Maine's Midnight Madness and a glimpse of other parts of the four day 4th of July celebration.

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.
