⛳️Rain or Shine, We Had a Great Time! ☔️

A little rain couldn’t stop the fun at our 2026 Sunflower Shootout!

Despite the wet weather, 65 golfers came out for a great day of golf, laughs and connections!

A HUGE thank you to all our sponsors and attendees for making this event possible. We appreciate your continued support and for making the best of a rainy day!

See you on the course next year! 🏌️‍♂️

🌲 And just like that… the 2026 Maine Mill Tour is officially over!

We wrapped up at Portland Head Light 📸, explored Kennebunkport, enjoyed free time in Portland’s Old Port, and finished the week with a final evening together over dinner and drinks🍻

What an incredible week of industry tours, Maine adventures, new connections and plenty of laughs! 🦞❤️

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made it one to remember!

🌊 Day 2 of the 2026 Maine Mill Tour! 🌲

Today took us to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park for trolley tours, exploring and lunch in town. 🦞

The weather definitely wasn’t on our side, and the fog meant we missed out on some of those incredible Acadia views! 🌫️ But that didn’t stop everyone from having a great time and making the most of the day.

We wrapped up with an industry tour at Cinder Wood Products before heading back to Bangor.

Great people, good laughs and another day of Maine adventures! 🚍🌲

🌲 Day 1 of the 2026 Maine Mill Tour is in the books! 🌲

A busy day of industry tours, innovation and plenty of Maine goodness! 🚍 We visited Duratherm Windows & Doors, enjoyed lunch at Young’s Lobster Pound 🦞, explored the University of Maine’s Advanced Structures & Composites Center, and wrapped up with a forestry tour.

A full day of learning, connecting and exploring — and we’re just getting started! 👏
