This year, on Friday November 7th, we are taking our annual Maine Calling Holiday Gift Guide Show on the road and turning it into a live event showcasing over a dozen Maine artisans and businesses and their wares.
Host Jennifer Rooks and the Maine Calling crew will broadcast live from the SPACE Gallery at 538 Congress St. in Portland and discuss holiday gift giving and the abundance of locally made gifts with Alex Steed, Bangor Daily News blogger and founding partner at Knack Factory, and Laura Serino, digital editor of Down East Magazine.
Tune into MPBN Radio starting at noon on November 7th for this special show.
Doors open at 1 p.m. Be prepared to see some breathtaking artwork, one-of-a-kind hand-made gifts and more. The event runs until 8 p.m.
