Is there a hiking trail somewhere that could be turned into a storybook trail? This could be a simple effort, for instance, displaying the pages of a book every so often along the trail for families to stop and read. On the other end of the spectrum, something more elaborate could be done, like building little storybook houses for children to visit (the three bear's house for example) or displaying fake plants and animals along the trail for children to find. Etc., the possibilities are endless.

Find out if Millinocket can become part of the Langlais Art Trail, displaying wood sculptures that are already as far north as Bangor. See article in today's online BDN (12/9). Sculptures must be displayed indoors. Here's a link: http://langlaisarttrail.org/
