Terry, the Mighty Miramichi captain, and local author Doug Underhill took them on a tour of this end of the river starting at Beaubears Island. Here are a few pictures from the outing.…

Have you heard about the new contest we’re having on Bread ‘n Molasses magazine? It’s really exciting! We’ve got great cash prizes to give-away!
