AUGUSTA (AP) — Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap says new commemorative license plates marking next year’s World Acadian Congress are now available for purchase.
They are the first commemorative plates produced by the state since the U.S. celebrated its Bicentennial in 1976.
In 2014, the World Acadian Congress will be hosted by the international region known as Acadia of the Lands and Forests, which incorporates the northernmost part of Maine, as well as northwestern New Brunswick and southeastern Quebec.
The plates are available for sale at participating credit unions throughout Maine.
