(Bangor) - Bangor made a splash in the spring season Saturday with the annual Kenduskeag Stream Canoe Race. According to [|BDN], there were 889 participants in 479 canoes and kayaks. Bangor area residents will be happy to know the race is just one of many activities scheduled this year, with plenty of opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.

The [|National Park Service] has deemed April 17-25 [|'National Park Week'], offering free admission to all 392 national parks nationwide. Locally, [|Acadia National Park] in Bar Harbor will be the park of choice for many. Continuing east, perhaps a trip to historic [|St. Croix Island]. But who says you have to drive downeast to enjoy what our state has to offer? Not me, because you don't!

[|Bangor Parks and Recreation] has a list of activities ranging from baton twirling to bowling. A Mother/Son dance is slated for May 7th, and is available for non-Bangor residents also. Sign-ups for tee-ball, soccer camps, and [|regular summer day camps] are online as well.=====
