WOOLWICH

A full day and wide array of activities are set for the annual Woolwich Day, which this year will take place on Saturday, Aug. 3.

The only thing missing, as of late July, was vendors.

“The space is free,” said Collette Coombs, chairwoman of the Woolwich Recreation Committee, which arranges the Woolwich Day events. “All they need to bring is a table and an umbrella.”

Vendors will set up behind the Nequasset Meetinghouse, which will serve as headquarters for many of the day’s events.

Woolwich Day begins early, witha7a.m.firedepartment and auxiliary breakfast at the fire station, across the road from the Meetinghouse.

Registration for the Bob Meade 10K Classic and Family Fun Run, at the waterfront, also is at 7, so people won’t have to go far from the breakfast to register for the race. Walkers are welcome in the Fun Run as well.

The race begins at 8:30. The hilly course begins and ends at Nequasset Park behind the town office and goes through residential areas featuring both paved and dirt roads. Water stops will be provided.

At 9, the Woolwich Historical Society will hold a yard sale at its Meetinghouse museum, which will be open for tours. There will be a Maine-made products craft and bake sale.

Throughout the day, there will be a silent auction.

Pony car rides, a bounce house and a balloon artist will be on hand for children. Kids’ games begin at 11.

At 10, Rev. Alan Baughurm of Days Ferry Community Church will do a blessing of the animals. People are invited to bring along their animals for blessing, or just provide the names of their animals.

The Masons will offer a CHIPS children’s ID program from noon until 3 p.m. There will be photos and voice recordings used to make the ID cards, which will be provided at no charge.

West Point Island will provide a chicken barbecue with baked beans at the waterfront, from 4 to 6:30. The Kennebec River Band will provide music.

A full day, to be sure.

“I like to see the community come together,” Coombs said. “It’s just a fun day for Woolwich.”
