<< <i>it,s all downhill from Calais to Portland so I should be there.....
How is it down hill?
You can't get any more "Down East" then Calais so every thing else would be up hill from you
Very true, and it will affect the attendance at our show, but it was unavoidable. It seems that there are just 52 weeks in a year, and more than 52 coin shows.

My family called New Brunswick "Down East", so Calais is not the limit.
On a map Portland is below Calais.
I think I once read that the prevailing wind was Boston way from Maine. That is yet another sense that Calais to Portland is down.

Wish a couple would come out here! Not much of anything in the way of coin shows out this way.

Sorry, you have it backwards. I'm from Mount Desert Island and Calais is further "down east" from us. It is almost a "ya can't get there from har" situation.
PS: A litle "downeast" humor, did you know that the person who invented the 'toothbrush' was from Washington County Maine? If it had been invented anywhere else it would have been called a 'teethbrush'.

Here is another item of possible contention. Cadilac Mountain on Mount Desert Island is the first place in the USA to see the rising sun around December 21 only. West Quoddy Head is in the "shadow" of Grand Manan island at that point as well as being further north.
I (or the company computer) did the calculations over 50 years ago.
And for the Maine trivia buffs, the ear muffs and the Stanley Steamer were also invented in Maine.
Yes, it was. And it wasn't far from there for the Stanley Steamer, as well.
