Pirates..Short Ones, Tall Ones Invade Houlton Maine For Midnight Madness!

All of a sudden, a picturesque small Northern Maine town that is mild mannered, wholesome and law abiding becomes chaos.

Helter skelter. Batton down the hatches, hoist the sail, we're going ashore. Oh oh. Pirates invade downtown Houlton ME for Midnight Madness, a retailer's delight. The 4th of July is a big deal in small Maine local communities.

Everyone, I mean everyone volunteers to help put the event on from the state agricultural fair's exhibits, horse and small animal judging to the parades, fireworks, rides and food provided to local and out of towners who meander in for the nation's birthday.

Here's is a video snapshot of Houlton Maine's Midnight Madness and a glimpse of other parts of the four day 4th of July celebration.

Andrew, pretty soon you can get a job on a Hollywood film crew, that one reminded me of American Graffiti, nice job in the cutting room...

Too cool....that does look like it would be a fun experience to try. Arrrrrrghhhhhhhhhh!

Home made small town fun. To someone in a huge city it could look small scale but instead of store bought and staged, it is home made and special. If you live here, you know the players, the kids, the turf and that is what someone looking in from the outside can glean from live captured local video! Thanks Larry and Mary!
