Aug. 21: Tom Sadowski Memorial and Book Launch
Explore the library grounds with the little grotto under the back stairs of the library, lost until several years ago when it was rediscovered during a renovation. Peek down the skylight on the hill to the library below. Walk around the Bok Ampitheatre and then down to the harbor where the ducks congregate. Climb up along the wall where the falls from the Megunticook River pour into the harbor.
Sit on a bench and watch the harbor. Take a trip on one of the tour boats if it’s in your budget.
Get a fish taco at Harbor Dogs.

A gallery of Shebang photos. What happened to all those wonderful handmade masks? Are they tucked away in barns and attics all over the midcoast?

Take a minute and listen to John McCutcheons’s
song “Christmas in the Trenches”. Probably you’ve heard it before, but maybe not. It happened just over 100 years ago, when World War I was devastating France. The story of the Christmas truce held particular meaning for my husband, a connection of sorts for him to the father he never knew.
