There's More End of Summer Fun in Maine

Summer is almost over so make the best of it by attending local fairs, festivals and farmers markets!  There are several events happening this weekend throughout the state, from the Crown of Maine Balloon Festival at the Northern Maine Fairgrounds, to The American Folk Festival in Bangor, and the Acton Fair in Southern Maine. You can find additional events near you here.

Or if fried fair food isn’t what you are looking for check out your local farmers market.  This is a great way to support local farmers and pick up some fresh fruits and vegetables.  This is a great opportunity to try an ingredient you have never used before and create a new and exciting dish.  If you have small children take them along and use this as an opportunity to teach them about where their food comes from; plus they may be more inclined to eat their vegetables if they helped pick them out.  Click here to find a market near you.

Don’t forget that many fairs and farmers markets only accept cash.  Look for a SURF ATM along the way and you won’t have to worry about those pesky surcharge-fees.  Find a SURF ATM here or download the SURF locator app from iTunes so you always have the ability to SURF on the go!
