You don’t really need a reason to visit the idyllic Wells Reserve with its seven miles of hiking trails, but there sure is a good one this weekend. The Laudholm Nature Crafts Festival has been happening for more than three decades and you’ll find an eclectic range of arts and crafts for sale from more than 125 juried artisans. There will also be beer, wine, food and live music on-site. Be sure to check out “The Peace of Wild Things: Herons & Egrets Through the Lens of B.A. (Tony) King.” His show is in the Wells Reserve’s Maine Coastal Ecology Center through Oct. 24 and will be open throughout the festival.
