Fort Fairfield's Potato Blossom Festival wrapped up over the weekend with a parade that drew 60 to 70 entries. The crew behind a transatlantic hydrogen balloon flight served as grand marshals, and organizers credited America's 250th anniversary and local sponsors for a strong turnout.

The massive parade is northern Maine’s largest and one of the festival’s most popular draws, a highlight of an entire week of activities.
