Downeast Coastal Conservancy and Machias Bay Chamber of Commerce will be hosting the Great Machias Outdoor Winter Family Fun Day on Saturday, Feb. 26. 

Community members are welcome to join in on the fun at Middle River Park in Machias from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

There will be many fun things to do throughout the day, including a cardboard box sledding contest!

Participants are welcome to create their very own cardboard box sled with a team of family, friends, or on their own, and compete for best design and the most spirit.
