Pirates Rendezvous in Damariscotta, Maine - an annual event! http://www.piraterendezvousnews.com/
The Mystic Pirates sail into the scenic midcoast towns of Damariscotta and Newcastle. The pirates invade at high noon, complete with a pirate ship laying down a barrage of cannon fire. Pirate activities, beginning at 10 a.m., including games, re-enactments and music will continue until 4 p.m. Children will be involved in a drama to find the Lost Treasure of the Mystic Pirates. Special pirate-themed menus will be featured at local restaurants during the event and into the evening. The event benefits Lincoln County Family Holiday Wishes.

Note: If you are doing some traveling, you might be interested in checking out Diane Flynn Keith's book called "Carschooling: Over 350 Entertaining Games & Activities to Turn Travel Time Into Learning Time - For Kids Ages 4 to 17." I recently purchased it, but haven't yet read it. I am hoping that it will have some fun ideas to pass the time when we travel in the car!
