You are invited to enjoy a public harvest supper and Irish music concert held by members of Hampden Congregational Church beginning at 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 21, at the church, 101 Main Road North in Hampden.

Jonathan Henry e-mailed that the supper menu features “country baked ham with a full assortment of hearty side dishes, and seasonal desserts.”

Tickets for the supper are $7, and concert tickets are $8.

Anyone planning to attend both events can purchase an all-in-one ticket for $12.

Admission for children 5 and under is $3 for each event, and tickets will be available at the door.

While you’re sure to enjoy the meal and the seasonal desserts, the sweetest dessert of all is likely to be an evening listening to the delightful music of Two Old Friends, the Kennebunk duet of Mac McHale and Emery Hutchins.

Together for 17 years, the duet founded Northeast Winds.

Their repertoire, Henry wrote, “includes many favorite and traditional sea songs as well as a good amount of hot-picking instrumentals and great sing-alongs.”

They will sing “a variety of songs from Ireland, the mountains the sea,” Henry wrote of the concert which is immediately after the supper.

More information can be obtained by calling Henry at 862-2059 or e-mailing jhenry@umaine.edu.

“What’s In the Archives,” the 10th in the yearlong Orono Bicentennial Lecture Series, is 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 19, in the Orono municipal building.

This event features a panel discussing the lives of women who have shaped both Orono and the wider world.

Panelists include Carol Toner, specialist in women’s labor history and recent Maine immigrant history; Mazie Hough, associate director of the University of Maine Women in the Curriculum and Women’s Studies Program; and Betsy Beattie, who researches Canadian migration to New England and is the Canadian Studies Librarian at Fogler Library on the UMaine campus.

The event is free and open to the public.

Lillian Hanscom wrote that the Downeast Community Hospital Auxiliary Used Books and Bake Sale is 8 a.m.-7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 20, and 9 a.m.-noon Saturday, Oct. 21, at the Central Street Church in Machias.

The event also will feature a raffle for “a beautifully decorated Halloween basket with Halloween decorations and a few surprises,” Hanscom added.

People with books to donate for the sale may deliver them, after 10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 19, and also on Friday, to the church.

No donated books will be accepted on Saturday.

Hanscom wrote that Auxiliary members hope to see you there.
