Winter Events.

With the holidays nearly over it's time to focus on upcoming events here in Maine and elsewhere. I'll add more as the winter moves on at it's agonizingly glacial pace.

• Nature photographer John Orcutt has an exhibit at the Carrabassett Valley public library until Jan.10th. You owe it to yourself to see some of these images in person.

• Fish Tales and Cocktails auction at the Sugarloaf Hotel at Sugarloaf on Jan. 14th. All proceeds to Maine Casting For Recovery. Contact Bonnie Holding at 237-2405. Get your pink on.

• The Fly Fishing Show. Jan. 20,21,22 in Marlborough, Ma. This show seems to be getting a little better each season.

• Banff Mountain Film Festival. Feb. 3rd -13th at various locations here in Maine.

• Kingfield First Friday Artwalk. The first Friday of every month. Merchants and galleries showing a wide array of mountain artists.

That's it for now. In the mean time send some snow our way if you could.
