Bethel Has Fared Relatively Well During The Pandemic, Thanks To Outdoor Tourism

MAINE PUBLIC • March 11, 2021

Morning Edition Host Irwin Gratz: When I think about western Maine in the winter, I think a lot about skiing. Ski areas could actually be open during the pandemic this winter. But it has been a very different experience for folks around that area hasn’t it? Savannah Sessions, a school librarian and the executive director of the Bethel Historical Society: It has been a real outlet for people to have something to continue to do outside. By and large, it has been really positive to still have a ski season. Definitely still a cornerstone of life in western Maine.
