For a while, it seemed like the chances for a sequel to the 1994 hit comedy “Dumb & Dumber” was one out of a hundred, or even one out of a million. But it turned out there was a chance. And at a junket for “The Three Stooges,” the original film’s co-director Peter Farrelly said that not only is a sequel set to go into production this September, but original stars Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels will reprise their roles as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne.
According to ComingSoon.net, who broke the story, Farrelly was clear about the reality of the sequel. “We’re getting set to shoot ‘Dumb & Dumber 2’ in September,” he told the website. “It’s the first sequel we’ve ever done and we’ve got Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back.”

Breakneck Ridge Farm will offer demonstrations of its maple syrup operations and a tour of the farm’s sugarbush. A sugarbush is where sugar maple trees feed sweet sap, often through plastic tubing, to the sugar house, where it is simmered into maple syrup, sugar or caramelized for candy.
Both Breakneck Ridge Farm and Griff’s will open their gift shops for visitors during the day.
Maine is one of the biggest producers of pure maple syrup in the world. “Sugaring” is one of New England’s oldest agricultural enterprises and is traditionally the first harvest of the year following winter, Henner says. Maple syrup season also is one of the first harbingers of spring.
Sugaring in Maine was first practiced by Native American Indians, and learned by colonists and settlers in New England. Settlers referred to maple syrup as Indian sugar or Indian molasses.
