In this week’s installment of Alpaca Sweater (again, it’s a pun), we’re headed to Acadia National Park. First of all, the drive to this national landmark is a beautiful one, which in only then overshadowed by Acadia itself. And, because it’s late fall, you’d better take this trip soon or else you’ll miss the remaining foliage! You’ve got a little bit of time left before the trees go bare bones – but, even if you don’t make it up North for a few more weeks, at least you know you’ll never be missing the pines. So, let’s pack a sweater and hit the road to one of Maine’s biggest claims to fame. Continue reading Alpaca Sweater: Acadia

Alpaca Sweater: History Edition!
It’s time for the second installment of Alpaca Sweater, our weekly New England travel blog! This week, because I’m feeling rather academic, I’m going to take you on a tour of the best historical relics Maine has to offer. Starting in Portland and moving North, we’ll cover such famous landmarks as the Wadsworth-Longfellow house and end up at the very historical Fort Kent in Aroostook County, while hitting all of the great things in between. So buckle up, history nerds, and those who just want to take a nice trip around Maine in the fall and maybe soak up some trivia at the same time. Continue reading Alpaca Sweater: History Edition!
Coast 93.1’s Rescues on the Runway Event
This Saturday, March 8, PacaNaturals’ owners Tom & Stacey will be showcasing their animals at Coast 93.1’s Rescues on the Runway event at the Maine Mall. This is the 3rd annual rescues event and showcases adoptable animals as well as therapeutic animals. Stacey and Tom will be talking about the therapeutic qualities of alpacas (of which there are many) and the several reasons why they make a better pet than some may think. There is a growing field of therapy alpacas who are trained similarly to more traditional therapy animals like dogs and horses. Alpacas are naturally gentle and docile and spending time with them can be beneficial to all humans. Be sure to stop by on Saturday, March 8 to participate in the event and to see some beautiful animals from Abbott Farm Alpacas!
