Anyone familiar with our Maine Adventure series knows our “Stoner Mobile” hippie van from the cover images. We planned on getting a real one in the future, but fate had other plans as it turns out High Striker Farm actually the has same van and same colors. Anyone know what the chances of that are?
The “Stoner Mobile” will not only be making an in-person appearance at the Not Your Average Cannabis festival. But it will actually be turned into a photo booth for you and your crew to get your photo professionally taken. No need to worry about trying to take a selfie that ends up being blurry!
We are so excited about the Stoner Mobile photo booth and The Not Your Average Cannabis festival we wanted to do something special and give away two tickets! One for you and one for your festie bestie. The rules are super simple all you have to do is follow @ILoveMeWd and @HighStrikerFarm on Instagram and share the Giveaway post and leave a comment tagging the festie bestie you are going to bring! The contest will run June 1st-June 10th and the winner will be randomly selected. Good luck to everyone!
Those who are feeling competitive can check out growers go head-to-head in the Hash Bash #4 presented by Brigid Farm. This year’s event takes place on July 13th with the opening ceremony the day before on July 12th. We covered last year’s event and the opening ceremony, which was a great time! If you are a lover of good hash then this event is for you. The opening ceremony could also be considered a farmers’ market because you can shop from some of the competitors.
Another great way to shop directly with a wide selection of farms is at the Farmers Market Vol. 2 being held by Sugar Leaf Co. Being held in New Portland, Maine on July 27th 12-5pm. The Farmers Market Vol. 2 features a wide selection of vendors and will have food provided by Smoked Craft BBQ.
Heady glass lovers will not want to miss The Blowout being presented by RipTide smoke shop. This event features a line up of glass artists such as Chaka, Slate, Mrs. Claws, KGB, 603 Glass, Danny Camp, Dirk Diggler, Mohawk and so many more! Rip Tide makes this event an incredible experience for those attending and those involved on the other side. Which in turn makes this event incredibly fun for everyone.
We hope you all have a great summer! Be sure to enter our contest for 2 Tickets to the Not Your Average Cannabis. The fun isn't going to end when summer does either as The Maine Cannabis Fair presented by ILoveMeWeed is coming this fall! More information will be released soon.
