While it’s been a few weeks since the Portland Festival in early June, you can’t help but still feel the buzz of energy and excitement, the result of an amazing community coming together. And while I did make a brief appearance at the event a couple years ago, this was the first time the Portland Museum and Portland Anchor set up a booth, and it was a wild whirlwind I won’t soon forget, and can’t wait to experience again next year.
