Windy Saturday, Sunny Sunday: Your Maine Weekend Game Plan
Saturday turns cool and gusty, Sunday looks sunny. Where to play pickup and drop-in sports across Maine this weekend, indoors and out.
Friday's rain clears out tonight, Saturday turns cool and windy, and Sunday looks sunny across most of Maine. That makes Saturday a gym day and Sunday a good day to get outside. Here's where to play.
