If you've spent any time in Wells during the past few summers, you know one of the biggest attractions every evening is the lively food truck park next to Congdon's Doughnuts. Congdon's After Dark has become a meeting place for a wide array of tasty bites and cold beer.

The popularity of the food truck park hasn't gone unnoticed. According to the Portland Press Herald, one business in Freeport had a belief that a similar concept could work in Freeport, and immediately got to work making that dream become a reality.

That Freeport business is Athena's Cantina. There's a large parking lot right next to Athena's that often goes unused. Instead of leaving it as a dormant space, why not transform it into yet another reason for people to visit Freeport in the summer?
