Apr. 302017

OTISFIELD — The town is in the planning stages of a Community Summer Celebration to be held Saturday, July 8, from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Community Center on Route 121 This celebration is an outgrowth of the Otisfield Business Showcase, which has been held at the center for the past several years.

Otisfield is putting out a call to the town’s businesses and community groups to promote themselves and their services and for artists/artisans to sell their wares. Food vendors are also welcome to participate in the event.

They celebration committee is also looking for individuals who have particular skills or hobbies they would like to demonstrate such as fly tying, wood carving, etc. This is also an opportunity for local musicians to volunteer to entertain friends and neighbors. Activities for children are also in the works; volunteers and activity ideas welcome are welcome.

The spirit of “community” goes far beyond one town’s borders, especially in rural Maine, and Otisfield is extending an invitation to similar individuals, businesses, and groups in the town of Casco, Naples, Oxford, Harrison, Norway, and South Paris who would also like to participate in this event. This is a wonderful opportunity to renew old acquaintances, make new friends, and learn about the talent and businesses services our extended communities offer. There are many hidden gems in the Oxford Hills community.

Indoor table spaces (with electricity) are available at a cost of $10. Outdoor 10 x 10 spaces (no electricity) are available at a cost of $5. Outside exhibitors must provide their own set ups as they would at similar outdoor craft/fair events.

Applications are available to download from the town’s website as well as at the town office. Please feel free to call the office at 539-2664 with any questions. Reservations for spaces will close by June 1 and are on a first-come, first-served basis. picnic photo
