editor's note
Susan Grisanti Kelley, Editor-in-chief
Here come the holidays. I’m always running short on time and running around trying to figure out what I’m going to get, for who, and from where?
But I’m not stressing this year. When you work with the crew that I do, you have the serious advantage of knowing about the best stuff in Maine. Here’s a short list of what those in the know are giving this year.
