SUMMARY:Great Falls Balloon Festival\, Lewiston-Auburn
DESCRIPTION:Based at Simard-Payne Memorial Park in Lewiston—with additional entertainment and food offerings at Festival Plaza in Auburn—the festival attracts approximately 100\,000 visitors throughout the weekend. The Androscoggin River and rocky Great Falls provide a picturesque setting for the dozens of balloons that visit each year\, including some special shape balloons. With free admission\, hundreds of thousands of dollars raised by participating non-profits and economic impact in excess of $2\,000\,000\, it’s easy to see why our community eagerly anticipates the festival each year. \nBalloon launches are scheduled for 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily\, weather permitting. When the balloons aren’t overhead\, there is still plenty to do: dozens of food booths offer everything from lime rickeys to taco salad\, pancake breakfast follows the morning launches\, craft and trade booths invite browsing\, a children’s area with games\, a bounce house\, and face painting and live entertainment on two stages. Carnival rides\, a parade\, and various demonstrations and contests round out the weekend’s events.

SUMMARY:Firebird Trail Races
DESCRIPTION:Firebird Trail Race is a challenging and wicked fun trail race with distance options of 13M\, 50K & (new this year) 50M\, that runs on donations\, positive vibes\, and a crushingly technical course in Falmouth\, Maine. \nOur goal is to celebrate the amazing runners community and accomplish great feats together\, cheering each other to the finish\, for the first time or the millionth time. Unlike other races\, to compete here you must donate to a non-profit of your choice in addition to paying the low cost registration fee. Instead of some mega race conglomerate taking the profits\, we ask that you pay it forward and contribute to a non-profit that aligns with your values. The donation must be made between September 4\, 2022 and August 25\, 2023\, and we must have proof of the donation (a receipt\, confirmation letter from the recipient\, image of your check) by August 25\, 2023 in order to confirm entry. Donations must be at least $20. Participants donated in excess of $7\,000 in 2022\, which is nothing short of astounding!
