One important aspect of Corinth Old Home Days, which takes place Friday, June 21, and Saturday, June 22, is the health fair sponsored by Corinth Family Medicine from noon to 2 p.m. under the big white tent at the Corinth Recreation Field.

Joanne Bradshaw, a registered nurse with Corinth Family Medicine, reports she is “really excited about the health fair” CFM has organized for this community celebration.

It has something for everyone, of every age.

“We will be offering free blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar screenings,” Bradshaw explained, as well as “free pulmonary function tests, chair massage and nutritional information from a nutritionist.”

Representatives of the state of Maine immunization and lead level programs will be there to talk with parents and guardians, and “Vaxx Man” will circulate through the crowd encouraging the immunization of all youngsters.

Among the health fair booths will be one staffed by a Pfizer representative who will provide information about its new share program, Bradshaw said of the “low-cost drug program for older citizens” offered by that company.

Criteria to be in the program include being enrolled in Medicare, having no prescription coverage and having a gross income of less than $18,000 per individual or $24,000 per couple.

“This program is exciting, and we want to spread the word to our older population,” Bradshaw said.

A representative of the pharmaceutical firm Forrest Labs will participate along with people from the Dover-Foxcroft office of Eastern Agency on Aging.

CFM encourages everyone over age 60 to stop by the EAA booth and learn what services are available for them, such as assistance with Medicare-Medicaid, food stamps and prescription programs. Application forms will be available for those programs.

“We encourage everyone to visit us under the Big White Tent,” Bradshaw said. “This fair is to promote good health” and educate community members about resources that are available to them.

On behalf of the Winterport Union Meeting House Association, May Pardy invites the public to take a tour of that facility 1-4 p.m. Sunday, June 23.

The Winterport Union Meeting House is on Main Street in Winterport and, according to Pardy, “is the last remaining public building from the days of early Winterport and Frankfort.”

Winterport, she explained, was part of Frankfort until 1860.

The Meeting House was built in 1833 and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973.

The Meeting House is considered one of the best examples of ecclesiastical architecture along the Penobscot River.

The bell in the Meeting House belfry was cast by the firm founded by Paul Revere. With the engraving “Revere Boston,” it is one of 112 bells that remain of the 400 Revere bells cast between 1792 and 1839.

People making summer plans who have a connection to Bradford might want to consider attending the Bradford school reunion planned for Saturday, July 13, at the Hudson Elementary School gymnasium in Hudson.

“An invitation is extended to anyone who attended Bradford Elementary School or Bradford High School, at any time,” said Joyce Mailman of Corinth.

One need not be a graduate of either school to participate in the reunion, but just have attended either school.

Interested alumni are asked to call Ruth Trask, 327-1198, or Gerri Randall, 327-1303.

Mailman explained that a time for the reunion would be set according to the wishes of those attending the event.

But, she added, other events are planned around the reunion, which include a get-together Friday evening, July 12, at Pat’s Pizza in Orono, and a Saturday morning meeting for breakfast at Governor’s Restaurant in Orono.

She also added that “if anyone is interested in visiting the Bradford Heritage Museum and the historical society at the library in Bradford, it will be open for your convenience from noon to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 13.”

Mailman hopes you take advantage of this opportunity because, she said, “we have a great museum in Bradford now.”

The Penobscot School in Rockland was founded in 1986 as a nonprofit center for language learning and international exchange.

It offers weekly foreign language classes and weekend immersion courses during its fall and spring semesters, and English courses for foreign adults during the summer.

Coordinator Alice Billheimer and assistant Claire Pelletier are sorting books for the Penobscot School’s sixth annual book sale which is 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 29, and Sunday, June 30 at the school, 28 Gay St., Rockland.

While many books have already arrived, the women are eagerly accepting more. Books will be accepted through Friday, June 28, when tables will be set up for the sale.

According to Billheimer and Pelletier, the collection received thus far is an excellent one with best sellers, serious literature and foreign language books.

They are, however, seeking large or small donations of mysteries, cookbooks, science fiction and Westerns, as well as children’s books for all ages.

Book donations can be dropped off from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, or by appointment, at the school.

To arrange for the books to be picked up, call Billheimer at 832-0498.

For more information about the sale, or the school, call office manager Patti Luchetti at 594-1084, or visit penobscot@languagelearning.org.
