I didn't say anything about the Blueberry Festival, which transformed this quiet little town, the weekend of August 20 through the 22nd. The festival features fantastic "Down East" food, including lobsters, crab rolls, smoked salmon on a stick (delicious!) and every edible variety of blueberry concoction, as long as it is made with the tiny, sweet Maine blueberry. The town was transformed as cars and people poured in from all over. There is the Blueberry Play, (funny, corny musical starring half the town), Blueberry Race, Children's Parade, pie eating contest, cookoff, bands, local artisans selling their wares, and I can't remember what else. It's always held on the 3rd weekend in August. Put it on your calendar for next year. A wonderful addition the last few years is the Blackfly Ball. The upper and lower floors of the Grange became dance floors and an additional floor was built in the park across from the Grange Hall for more bands and dancing. Folks dress in costumes if so inclined, faces are painted, and a grand time is had by all. No drugs, no alcohol, just fun!
