April Stay-Cation? We've got you covered!

A Note from Publisher

By Whitney Wright- Midcoast, ME Publisher April 12, 2019

Happy Friday friends- and welcome school vacation week! If you aren’t traveling anywhere exciting next week for school vacation don’t worry, we have your stay-cation covered! There are so many fun events happening next week… break out your day planner, grab a pen… wait, I can’t be the only one who still uses a planner… right? (If I am being totally truthful the only way I remember things is by putting them in my day planner, my phone and on the wall calendar… mom brain is real.) Anyway, if you are more tech savvy you can add events right to your online calendar with a click of a button! 

I guess if I can’t be on a tropical I may as well have the problem that I can’t be in 10 places at once because there are so many awesome events happening! I mean check out all the things happening on the Saturday before Easter- holy cow!
