Portland Beer Week runs through Sunday, but if you find yourself north of the big city, you have an alternative. The Maine Harvest Festival in Bangor is this weekend, and in addition to culinary events, demonstrations, and seminars, there are plenty of beer and wine vendors to sample.
Kids are welcome and admission to the event is just $5 at the door. I’m thinking it might be the perfect way to sample the wares and pick the brains of some of Maine’s brightest and best known food and beverage personalities. Maybe I’ll see you there!
Maine Harvest Festival
When: Saturday, Nov. 10 – Sunday, Nov. 11
Time: 10a – 4p
Cost: $5, kids 10 and under free
YOU’RE SO RAIN

Erin Dow is a caterer who used to cook for rock stars. Now she finds herself desperately trying to persuade her three kids to just try one bite of what she made for dinner. She's the Expert Chef for Maine-based Guiding Stars® and she consults with the state's public schools on how to serve healthy whole foods that kids will actually eat. And when Erin’s not researching, preparing, serving, photographing, teaching, or writing about food, you’ll probably find her in a restaurant eating a meal cooked by someone else. So she just might be the girl you need to know if you're looking for recommendations, advice, or insight into Maine's food scene. She's also very knowledgeable about firearms, in case you were wondering if she's a real Mainer.
