Don't forget your own sketch pad and colored pencils, watercolors or pastels as you pack for a trip to Maine. The land and the sea will astonish you, and there's nothing like looking, drawing and looking again to really see Maine's beauty. Check both the local papers and local bulletin boards to find out what's happening while you are in Maine, especially if you come in summer.
Municipalities offer concerts, puppet shows, kids' programs and festivals throughout the year.
