 In Houlton Maine, Potato Feasts Days are such an event.

In Fort Fairfield, Maine Potato Feast is another such celebration.

Local merchants build sales around the Maine event.

Civic, church and other groups get behind events to build family fun events offered to local and out of state travelers in the area to enjoy them.

Crafts fairs, parades, and in Houlton Maine an All Cylinder Motorsports Event with antique cars, flying snowsleds, motorcycle acrobatics and stunt driving part of the fun and games. Here's a snippet of local Maine video to show you what you missed.

Maine, she is big, beautiful, unspoiled.

Andy, I think your snowmobilers may have a screw loose!  Backflips?? Holy cow.

Blackflips are pretty impressive. Have four snowsleds and when you are wielding 400 to 500 pounds in a backflip...if you make a mistake, you are in a body cast if you live. See the guy hobbling on crutches. That break I bet came from snowsled flip that flopped.

Andy, I noticed the buy on crutches and assumed he didn't stick one of his landings the way he intended!

What a cool looking truck!  I have never seen stunts with snow mobiles before!

They are heavy, not like a aluminum pedal bike to loop de loop.
