Bear Pond Improvement Association annual Fun Day is July 19, 20

TURNER — The Bear Pond Improvement Association will hold its annual Community Fun Day July 19 and 20, at the Bear Pond Village Condominium Green, Village Drive, near the Turner Town Beach.
Parking is available, and cottage owners are encouraged to arrive by boat, if possible.
BPIA invites and encourages all Big Bear and Little Bear ponds cottage/property owners, their families and guests to come for a day of fun and education, whether a member of BPIA or not.
Games and activities are planned throughout the day, including a coloring contest and face painting. Barbecued chicken, salads, burgers, chips, drinks and dessert will be provided free to all attendees.
A fishing derby for youths ages 15 years and younger will be held Friday, July 19, through noon Saturday on Big and Little Bear ponds. Bring your catch to the camp of Kent Mitchell, 41 Jones Road, Little Bear (207-778-1445) for measurement and a photo. Three first place trophies will be awarded at Fun Day. Catch and release is encouraged if possible — except for pike.
A poker run is scheduled for Friday evening, with the final card available for purchase Saturday. Contact Pete Angell at 207-225-3737 for information on the poker run. Additionally, an 8-foot White Pine picnic table — donated and hand-crafted by M. Gordon from lumber milled from trees grown on the Timberlake Farm on Berry Road — will be raffled off.
Tickets will be available at the event, and the winner will be drawn Saturday after lunch
As a reminder, BPIA’s annual dues of $25 for 2019 can be paid on Fun Day at the membership table. All activities, other than the poker run, are being sponsored by BPIA at no cost to attendees.
Those attending should plan to bring their own chairs. Please note there will be no alcohol, swimming or dogs at the event.
