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.
Back in early August, we asked how the summer tourism season was going — and at the time, the majority of respondents told us it could be better. And remember, the season started very rainy and ended amid a drought.
