With miles of coastline, thousands of lakes, endless rivers and deep forests, visitors can find their perfect vacation spot, whether it's on a sandy beach, at a family campground or walking along Main Street in a bustling city or town. Maine is also known for abundant outdoor recreation opportunities in all four seasons, from swimming and boating in the warmer months to excellent skiing in the winter.

Went to see a Celtic trio recently, and the historic venue was quaint and comfortable. They even offered fresh bake cakes and pies prior to the show. This is a must for a Friday evening if you are in the area. I will make this a regular spot for me in the future. Look for schedule of events on their website.

This family friendly show entertained all 10 of us who ranged in age from 65 to 6. Even the teens thought it was a cool way to spend an evening in Maine and the younger ones were enthralled with the ax throwing, log rolling and sawing competitions. Yes, the jokes were a little corny, but actually the show provides some information about lumberjack skills from the past and those skills done in competitions today. The show was just a little over an hour. We felt it was worth the money.

I wish my town had a theater like this. I understand that in this day and age that it is more cost efficient to have multiplexes with many small dinky theaters inside of them. What a pleasant surprise to find a theater like the Grand still exists. I went to see the movie The Greatest Show. The manager came out before the movie and introduced what we were going to see. The movie was captioned with the lyrics to the songs so the audience could sing along (which we did). I had a great time. The theater is beautiful, done in the art deco style and is well maintained. The people of Ellsworth should be proud to support such a grand place as this.
