Welcome to a little phrase my friends and I call "shovel panic."

For the 14th year in a row, Kennebunkport's Christmas Prelude Pooch Parade is ready to take over Dock square. The best part? You can either watch the good boi's & good girls parade around town, or you can participate! Here's the dates, times, and details.

If I had to guess the one fight that will always be fought between local Mainer's and out of stater's, it's probably the fight of how to pronounce Bangor.

Maine.gov suggests that statistically there are around 60,000 to 75,000 moose roaming the state's forests. However, the chances of actually seeing one of these beautiful giants depend on several factors like location and the time of year.
