Gina Finn was inspired to create a family fall event after taking her children to a storybook walk at Downeast Coastal Convervancy’s Middle River Park in Machias. 

“I thought it was so wonderful!” said Finn, a local businesswoman who owns Machias River General Store. “I loved Middle River Park, and thought, what a cool thing to have right here in our town that everyone can enjoy. It gives people an extra reason to come in town, get outside and do something educational while still having fun!”
