SUMMARY:Maine Open Farm Day
DESCRIPTION:It’s not every day you get to see where food is grown\, how yarn is made\, or get to meet the caretakers of Maine farm animals and wildlife.\nBut thanks to the annual tradition of Maine Open Farm Day\, you have a unique chance to do that and learn about the business of agriculture where it happens! \nMaine Open Farm Day is an annual celebration held across the state. It is an open-house style event during which host farms extend an invite to the public. This allows you to learn more about their business and what they do. Each farm visit is different\, and depending on your visit\, you can experience the variety of agriculture on display. For example\, at diversified produce farms\, you may see rows of crops\, such as vegetables and fruits\, at different stages of readiness for harvest. Depending on the set up\, you can even DIY or “PYO” (pick your own) at some host farms. \nYou may also get to see working landscapes\, home to a variety of wildlife\, managed woodlots and farm animals. You’ll find host farms offering tours\, and farmer meet-and-greets. Some farms highlight their educational experiences and trails for the public to explore. There are even farms that offer products to purchase\, and share recipes or techniques to best enjoy your purchase. \nWE OFFER TIPS TO GET YOU READY FOR THIS SUMMER TRADITION\, AND FIND A FARM TO VISIT! \nFarms may update details and activities as the event date nears. Find more as participating farms publish their information on the Real Maine event calendar.  Check local listings before you head out. \n

DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the New England Forest Rally\, the 2021 DirtFish rally of the year.\nThe New England Forest Rally (NEFR) is an annual two-day stage rally that takes place on the back roads and logging tracks of Western Maine and Northern New Hampshire.

Fans also attend festivities such as “Parc Exposé\,” where all the teams parade their cars into an open area as fans can gather\, mingle with the competitors\, get autographs\, and see the cars up close. Rally Village features vendors\, exhibitors and food throughout the two days and an awards party. \nAgain in 2023 we expect a large and star studded field.  You can join the excitement in a number of ways; competing\, volunteering\, spectating\, or by letting us do the driving and escort you to the best places to see NEFR on the Rally Bus (more info to come).

SUMMARY:John Andrews Memorial 5K Walk or Run
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 6th annual John Andrews 5K Trail Run and Walk on Saturday\, June 3rd beginning at 10am. Registration and Check In begins at 8:30am. The 5k\, all on the Eastern Trail\, begins and finishes at the end of Mill Brook Road in the Mill Brook Industrial Park. \n \nJohn Andrews (1937 – 2017) \n\nFollowing the race\, awards will be given to top finishers in several categories. Easy and ample parking at Maine Molecular or Pond Cove Millwork. \nAll participants receive one free beer or glass of wine when they show their race bib at O’Reilly’s Cure Restaurant & Bar on the day of the race! \nThe event honors John Andrews\, Eastern Trail founder\, mentor and friend. John’s vision to create the Eastern Trail started in the early 1990s. He was persistent\, but patient\, and made tremendous progress in a relatively short amount of time. After starting this amazing effort\, John lived on the trail\, used the trail\, and guided countless others to understand and appreciate this great resource. Sadly\, John passed away in February 2017. \nProceeds from this event benefit the Eastern Trail Alliance (ETA)\, an organization dedicated to building a 65-mile off road transportation and recreation greenway from Kittery to South Portland\, Maine and will go directly to support the ETA’s trail development campaigns. With 22 miles currently off road\, our goal is to raise awareness and funds to continue John’s vision of filling in the gaps and adding more miles to the off-road trail sections. \nRegistration fee is $25 per person\, $30 day of race.
