Today's Poll
Sponsored by: Kennebunk Savings Bank
With the official end of summer this past weekend, we're taking a look back at how the season unfolded.

Now that the season has wrapped up, we're checking in again to see how things ended. Did things improve? Did tourism pick up later in the summer, or did the season fall short of expectations?
