Apr 5, Activities and Events in Maine September 2015

Just because September has arrived and Maine

schools are back in session, does not mean that summer enjoyment needs

to come to an end. As a matter of fact, you may be pleasantly

surprised

by the long list of fun activities

and events in Maine, September 2015.

From Labor

Day Weekend celebrations...

...until late September and the official

start of Fall (and fall foliage in

Maine),...

...the weather in Maine

can be perfect for taking part in the fun, family oriented events that

will be going on.

On the list of September activities and

events in Maine are perennial favorites...

...a spectacular Pirate Festival, some

of the most popular New England country fairs and agricultural shows,

an Open Lighthouse Day that showcases Maine's most popular

landmarks...

...a Harvest Fest in celebration of the transition

from summer to fall, and many other uniquely Maine family

activities and entertainment.

Although the Maine tourist season begins to wind

down after the Labor Day events, in order to give visitors a chance to

thoroughly enjoy ALL of the activities and events in Maine in

September...

...most Maine tourist

attractions remain open through the month - many not closing

until Columbus Day weekend, in mid-October. The same is true

for most Maine hotels, inns and bed and breakfasts, shops and

restaurants.

...and find the best Maine

hotel deals, while comparing prices on hotels in

Maine, motels, inns and B&B's.

Rights Reserved

Richard Boyd Art Gallery opens a solo

exhibition of images by Friendship, Maine artist Pam Cabanas on

September 1, at

10:00 AM.

Much of Pam's work has its start en plein-air,

inspired by

the...

..."stunning visuals and huge hearts rooted deep

in the harsh and ever changing

coast of Maine. My work seeks to uncover the chords that bind the love

of place

with the creation and viewing of fine art. My exploration of the

uninhabited

islands of the Muscungus has led me into a series of paintings that I

hope

blend the shocking beauty of the coastal Maine environment with a

self-portrait

easily accessible to the hearts of my viewers. Working in two divergent

mediums, soft pastel and monochromatic ink wah, I move ever closer to

my

artistic goals."

Pam's formal education in the arts include a BFA

from New York State College of

Ceramics at Alfred University, and graduate studies in hand lithography

and art

education at the University of New Mexico. Pam is a "full time artist

with

part-time incursions" which includes her work as a docent for the

Farnsworth

Art Museum.

Pam's work is on exhibit free of charge to the

public from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily through September 30, 2014. The

gallery is located at

the corner of Island Avenue and Epps Street, in the first building on

the

right, on the first floor.
