29th Annual Patriots’ Day Celebration April 12-14 OGUNQUIT Please join the town of Ogunquit to recognize and celebrate Patriots’ Day with a host of patriotic and fun festivities April 12-14. Named the Best Show of Patriotism by Down East Magazine, Ogunquit’s Patriots’ Day events celebrate our colonial and early American heritage through re-enactments, concerts, contests, and demonstrations. As the unofficial opening weekend for visitors to Ogunquit, this event also celebrates the unique character of our beautiful community with an arts and crafts fair, fife and
drum corps, hay rides, a pooch pageant, food tastings from area restaurants and much more. Ogunquit’s patriotism shines brightly as we join in remember-
ing a revolutionary and historic event, honoring our forefathers throughout this fun and educational weekend. New this year, we are wel-
coming the Piscataqua Rangers Jr. Fife and Drum Corps to Ogunquit for a demonstration on Saturday afternoon. The Piscataqua Rangers Jr. Fife and Drum Corps was organized in 2014 as a ministry to children between the age of 10 and 18. It is free to join, and they provide free lessons and an experience like none other to young people in both Southern Maine and New Hampshire. Currently the only junior fife and drum corps in both states, their mission is to preserve the art and music of ancient fife and drum, to teach our cultural heritage to young
people, to make the art relative to today’s audience, and to raise the public’s patriotic spirit. A call also went out to any/ all great pie makers interested in submitting a homemade pie in an “American” flavor to compete in the American Pie Contest. Pies will be judged during Taste of the Town in categories of theme, appearance, and taste. Grand prize winner will receive Gift of Ogunquit gift certificates. For more information on Patriots Day activities, please go to www.visitogunquit.org or call 207-646-1279. (Photo by Shane Corcoran)

the executive producer of “Ciao Italia” with Mary Ann Esposito, America’s longest running cooking show, and spent 10 years writing and directing for “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.” Lally recalls, “As the television director for Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, my job was to never miss a trick when it came to preparing to shoot a scene in Studio A at WQED, Pittsburgh. Especially the ‘Neighborhood of Make-believe.’ “Whether it was at King Friday’s castle, X the Owl and Henrietta Pussycat’s tree, Lady Elaine’s Museum-Go-Round, or Daniel’s Clock, everything needed to be in perfect readiness before we rolled tape and started
to record.” Fred McFeely Rogers (1928 - 2003) was the creator, composer, producer, head writer, and host of the preschool television series Mister Rogers’ Neighbor-
hood (1968–2001). Rogers would end each program by telling his viewers, “You’ve made this day a special day, by just your being you. There’s no person in the whole world like you; and I like
you just the way you are.” Lally’s talk will take place at 6 p.m. at the Berwick Public Library, 103 Old Pine Hill Road. For details, call 207-698-5737 or visit www.berwick.lib.me.us.
