Plan Your Maine Thanksgiving

For those traveling to Maine for Thanksgiving we provide some helpful hints below:

Where to spend Thanksgiving:

The Travel-Maine.Info website has a page that offers lots of information on where and what to do in Maine during Thanksgiving - see "Thanksgiving in Maine".

Bethel, Maine and Sunday River Ski Area offer a multitude of events during Thanksgiving. Read an online news article posted by First Tracks! that provides more info: "Ski Demos, Rail Jam Highlight Thanksgiving Holiday at Sunday River".

The Southern Seacoast area of Maine has lots going on. See a listing of Thanksgiving dinners, services and events in that area provided Foster's Daily Democrat.

Safety During Thanksgiving.

Remember that with the increase in holiday traffic the law enforcement agencies will be doing their best to keep the roads safe. See "State police to increase patrols for holiday" by the Waldo Village Soup. (Hint: keep your speeds down).

The Maine State Government has sent out a safety message entitled "Enjoy Thanksgiving Safely". It also has a "Turkey Day Safety Fact Sheet".

And if you are NOT traveling and are preparing your turkey meal at home then here is some safety advice available from the University of Maine Cooperative Extension on "Helpful Hints on Handling Turkeys for Thanksgiving".
