More so than at any other time of year, the
schedule of activities

However, April weather in Maine can be perfect

April 2015 will be no exception!
While winter enthusiasts are still having a
great
time partying at Maine ski
resorts...
...along the coast of Maine, locals are
preparing for an annual Fishermen's Festival and Blessing
of the Fleet.
Elsewhere around the state, you can visit a
springtime Garden Show in
Bangor, an Antique Show in Bath, while in Lewiston, Portland
and
Augusta, a lively circus will provide family entertainment.
Patriot's Day will once again be
celebrated in Ogunquit, and in
Portland there will be a Chocolate Lover's Fling with
irresistible temptations!
...and find the best Maine
hotel deals and compare prices on hotels in
Maine, motels, inns and BB's.

Each year a portion of Richard Boyd Art
Gallery's net income from the sale of
art works featured in the exhibit is donated to an animal charity.
The
beneficiary this year is the Portland, Maine based group, Friends of
Feral
Felines (FoFF). The FoFF is a non-profit whose mission is to humanely
reduce
the number of feral cats in our communities through trapping,
neutering, and
then releasing them back to their colony sites. Volunteers provide the
colonies
with food, water and monitor the colonies for new, sick or injured
members who
need attention.
