Butterfly Festival Coming to Orrington on Saturday

Over the past year and half, maybe you've found yourself outside a lot more, taking in the beauty of nature that your home state has to offer. Perhaps you've been able to reconnect with our wild surroundings in a way that makes you appreciate the nature that you live in on a daily basis that you hadn't really paid attention to too much before.

And, maybe you've shared this with your littles, having nature walks to pass the time which turned into a time of wonder intended for your kids but now for you as well.

Here's your chance to have another taste of the wonder with your kiddos by checking out a Bangor area location that is all about the wonders of nature, perhaps before that ticking clock of school break is coming closer to an end.
