It's Suppah Time!
 Partake in a classic Maine tradition this summer: The Baked Bean Supper. Maine churches have been hosting baked bean dinners and serving up hearty, home-cooked meals for generations. In addition to being delicious, they also foster a sense of community, give people an opportunity to share a leisurely meal with others, and are fun for people of all ages. These community dinners are held regularly throughout Maine - click the link to find one near you!
