The Maine Red Claws have been one of the hottest tickets in town since Maine’s newest professional sports franchise came to town in 2009. The NBA Development League affiliate of the Boston Celtics, Charlotte Bobcats and Philadelphia 76ers, the Red Claws have packed the Portland Expo for every game over two seasons.

Led by new Head Coach Dave Leitao and backed by the greatest fans in the NBA D-League (known as Crustacean Nation!), the Red Claws will take to the hardwood for their third season in November. Offering entertainment that the entire family can enjoy, Red Claws tickets are family and group friendly, beginning at just $6. There is not a bad seat within the friendly confines of the historic Portland Expo, and season ticket packages begin at just $240 for the 24-game home schedule. A great outing with friends or co-workers, group and season tickets are now available by calling (207) 210-6655 or visiting the Red Claws online at www.maineredclaws.com.

Maine Sea Salt Company was started in 1998 by owner Stephen C. Cook. Stephen's family has been in the lobstering businesses on Bailey Island, Maine all of his life. In the 1950's the family opened Cook's Restaurant and Pound, located in Garrison Cove by the largest crib stone bridge in the world. Restaurant patrons would often comment on how the Cook's lobsters, prepared with sea water, tasted so much better than other lobsters.

Forty plus years later, Stephen began his quest to "bring the ocean to everyone". After thorough research and experimentation, he came up with Maine Sea Salt's original product, a 1-oz package of salt for cooking lobster. At that time, the health benefits of sea salt compared to refined table salt was not widely known. The success of the lobster bags led to Stephen's packaging of salt for cooking and table use.

Owner and Maine Sea Salt founder, Stephen Cook, "The Salt Man".

Today, the Maine Sea Salt Company continues to expand their product line as well as their salt processing facilities. A recent move to Marshfield, Maine (near Machias), has offered the Stephen and his wife Sharon space in which to install additional solar salt houses, which will increase their salt production capacity. A commitment to providing only the best quality sea salt continues to be a crucial part of the development of each product.
