Members of the American Legion Auxiliary Cecil R. Cole Unit 94 of Greenville are seeking crafters to participate in its Leaf Peepers Fall Fair planned for Oct. 11, at the post hall in Greenville.

Georgine Butman wrote the donation cost for crafters is $15 for a 6- or 8-foot table “with electricity.”

She reminds crafters considering this event that the Moosehead Lake Region will be “full of color” at that time of year, and that “the leaf peepers are here,” and urges you to “come show off your wares and enjoy the colors of the region.”

For more information, or to register for a table, call Butman at 695-2806, e-mail moosharp@midmaine.com or write her at P.O. Box 75, Greenville 04441.

Amy Lorenzo and organizers hope everyone in the Hampden area will enjoy Hampden Children’s Day, which begins with the Kiwanis pancake breakfast at 7 a.m. and the parade at 11 a.m. today. The parade, by the way, is expected to be larger than in recent years, Lorenzo wrote, so participants are asked to assemble at 10 a.m. at Reeds Brook Middle School. The parade ends at the junction of Routes 9 and 202.

The rain date is Sunday, Aug. 17.

The public is invited to hear 18-year-old soprano Kristyn Murphy of Orrington and 17-year-old violinist Nate Lesser of Orono, accompanied by Tamara Thomas of Hermon, in concert at 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 17, at East Orrington Congregational Church.

Murphy e-mailed that the concert is being offered as “a thank-you to the community” before the June John Bapst Memorial High School graduates leave Maine to continue their studies.

Murphy will attend the Hartt School of Music to major in vocal performance, and Lesser will attend Oberlin Conservatory and College to study violin performance and chemistry.

For more information about this free concert, call the EOCC office at 825-3404.

Pat Beckwith of the Ronald McDonald House in Bangor reminds readers it is participating in the pop tab program.

To participate, or acquire pop tab boxes, call 942-9003.

Beckwith wants you to know “for every pound of pop tabs collected, the House receives up to 50 cents” and that “thousands of pop tabs collected and recycled provide funds to cover the cost for families to stay at our Bangor Ronald McDonald House.”
