Okay, WARNING, this is a BIG switch from my last post.
From Whoopie Pies to an around-the-world movement (taking place on the SAME day as the Whoopie Pie Festival) protesting offshore drilling. Quite a switch, eh? Well, that's the kind of thing that you can expect here at Maine-ly Home - especially when it is important stuff. Well, this i important so listen up.
This weekend(Saturday, specifically), all around the world, people will be joining hands on beaches (and in cities) in a peaceful moved called Hands Across the Sand. This international movement is made of people of all walks of life and crosses political affiliations and designed to send a positive and powerful message about the importance of protecting our coastal economies, oceans, marine wildlife, and fishing industry. Its about protecting all of the above from the devastating effects of oil drilling.
