Description

From Crown of Maine Productions: "'Greetings From Aroostook' is a seventeen minute DVD featuring spectacular scenery, people and wildlife of The County set to music. The DVD includes scenes throughout the area from the Million Dollar View south of Houlton to Ramsey Ledge in The Allagash. It's narrated by Layne Longfellow, relative of the poet. It includes activities from different seasons of the year from skiing and snowmobiling to hiking and kayaking. Various cultural events are included from the Acadian Festival in The Valley to the Midsommar Festival in New Sweden, and, of course, Fort Fairfield's Potato Blossom Festival. It even has a scene of youngsters picking potatoes at harvest time. It's a wonderful reminder of life in The County - 'The Way Maine Used To Be,' as some say. And it's a great gift idea for friends and family who live outside the area to give them a taste of home, or to entice them to visit."
