About 125 hearty souls braved the freezing cold temperatures for some fun outdoor adventures at this year’s Great Maine Outdoor Weekend event at the TRE Center in Sanford. Free fishing day for the state of Maine meant no licenses were needed and more than 80 people took to the ice and tried their luck at ice-fishing. Many of the visitors tried out the new ice-skating rink adjacent to the welcome center or put on snowshoes to walk the trails. New this year, letterboxing added a treasure hunt component to a hike in the woods. Members of the Sanford Fire Department performed a cold-water rescue with firefighter and paramedic Kevin Lambert acting as a mock victim of an ice-fishing accident.
