Early spring is an awkward time of year in mid coast Maine. The snow is almost gone, the ice on the ponds has gotten too soft to trust and many days are still pretty cold. To add to the uncertainty there is a significant snowstorm in this week's forecast. I noticed yesterday that the daffodils on the lawn are almost an inch high clearly they are thinking that spring is coming.
Outside activities are sort of limited as we transition to the new season with summer not far off. One of the regular events of early spring is the Maine Professional Guides Association Annual Banquet. Always a great time and this year Tim Sample Maine author and humorist will be our speaker. Maine Outdoors always has a table and any clients are invited as my guest. All I ask is that you please let me know that you will be there so I can add your name to my guest list for the folks at the door.
The banquet is held at Jeff's Catering in Brewer Maine on April 13 starting at 5:30 PM. The event usually has 200 or so of Maine's best guides, legislators and friends of the organization. As always the Legendary Maine Guide Award will be presented by the Commissioner of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
I hope that you can join us for an evening of good fun!
