Blanton also will sit for a portrait with Robert Shetterly for his “Americans Who Tell the Truth” series.

Other speakers at the fair include the Humble Farmer, Margaret Micolichek of the Restorative Justice Project, Ruth Lockhart of Mabel Wadsworth Women’s Health Center in Bangor, and a panel discussing Sears Island and the Federal Wetlands Mitigation Bank.
