Today we went to the Ice Derbyfest on Sebago Lake. This is a 3-day winter festival out on frozen Sebago Lake. It has a midway with concessions and local organizations' booths. Everything is out on the ice: hundreds of people, snowmobiles, ATV's, cars, trucks, airplanes, helicopters. Today featured an air show with biplanes doing crazy aerial stunts. I can't believe the contortions they get their planes to do. At one point, right after a biplane finished his stunt show, and everybody in the crowd was looking in the same direction, a stunt jet flew low overhead from behind and startled just about everybody there. Skydivers, ultralights, wingwalkers, the works. This was such a surreal event; all these people and machines out on a frozen lake doing normal festival things in 20 degrees, sunny, no wind (my favorite weather of any season). To top it off we enjoyed the sun to a live reggae band, complete with tams, dreadlocks, and parkas!
We love Maine.
