A Kidz Karnival will begin at 11 a.m. Saturday, June 11. The Christian rock band Modern-day Jeremiah, from the East Orrington Congregational Church, will perform at 7:30 p.m. at the town bandstand on Milford Avenue. On Sunday, June 12, activities will include a Communion service at 9:30 a.m. at Bingham’s Old Free Meeting House.
