Our Maine Street's Aroostook Issue 2 : Fall 2010 | Page 59

Presque Isle
the star city

As summer fades away, we look forward to the
majestic colors of fall in central
Aroostook. The natural beauty
of the area changes from lush
green to gold and then to a
painter’s palette of reds, oranges
and yellows as autumn develops.

The clear blue skies filled
with colorful hot air balloons are
now just memories and we
look forward to the Crown
of Maine Balloon Fest next
year on August 26-29,
2010.

Now is the time
to enjoy walks in the crisp,
clean air. Whether you are
a hunter, bird watcher or a
nature enthusiast this is the
time to enjoy all that central
Aroostook has to offer.

October 16th and
17th Aroostook State Park
will be the site of our Second
Annual Haunted Woods
Walk. The Presque Isle Area
Chamber of Commerce will
be selling tickets in advance.
Don’t miss your chance
to be spooked and
entertained on a dark
and haunting night!

The
Presque
Isle Area Chamber
of Commerce also
encourages everyone to
put Main Street Mania
on their calendars for
November 20th. Fun,
frivolity
and
good
bargains at participating
businesses will be in
abundance!

The
Holiday
Light Parade has become
a tradition in Presque
Isle. Join us this year on
December 5th! The Presque
Isle Elks Club serves warm
soup before the parade and
University of Maine offers
a space to warm up after
the cold trek through town.
What a great chance to enjoy
the blissful holiday spirits with

family
and friends.

Whatever the season, Central
Aroostook has something to offer that
cannot be found anywhere else. The
warm hospitality shown to visitors only
increases as the temperatures drop. Come
now for stargazing, ATVing, hunting or
relaxing. Life is better in the County
