A weekly meta crossword created by members of the forum. Difficulty levels will vary. Hints are usually available starting Wednesday, and solutions are posted on Sunday.
Welcome to summer - the time of year when millions of folks head "Down East" to enjoy the beauty and wonder that the great state of Maine has to offer. Whether it's camping on a lake or basking on a beach, "Vacationland" is the place to go if you love the great outdoors. It's no wonder that @MaineMarge has made this state her home, and her lovely flower gardens enhance the scenic beauty there.
I'd like to thank @Wendy Walker and @boharr for test solving and @Joe Ross for "teaching us all to fish" when it comes to creating and posting our own files and links.
The meta answer is a famous person. (No, it's not @MaineMarge)
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
Wow, this is pretty great, even by your high standards. Thanks!

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges IF ASKED; metas should be about fun, not frustration. PM me what you have done so far, because often you are closer than you think, and I will try to help you move along.

Man! What a lazy start to the week, spent all of Monday on the couch. Just needed to twist my thinking a bit from what I already surmised and there it was. Clever! Thanks, Cap'n!
