Is summer already on the way out in Maine? (Say it ain't so! Hold onto the warm weather and blue skies, right?)

The autumn season doesn't technically start until September 22, 2024, but Lowe's in Auburn had Halloween displays up in July, and Starbucks recently teased the return of pumpkin spice lattes.

And it looks like two Maine corn mazes with fun and creative designs are opening up in August. The signs of fall are definitely starting to pop up.
