Rock the Block at the Kittery Block Party, June 15 KITTERY On Saturday June 15, the Kittery Foreside will be rocking with over 120 street vendors on Government Street, through Wallingford Square and up to Walker Street, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. followed by a Talent Show at the Second Christian Congregational United Church of Christ, 7-9 p.m. Daytime and admission is free to all! Now in its 9th year, this celebration of local art, culture, and food fosters lasting relationships and strengthens community in a fun neighborhood atmosphere
that’s enjoyable for all ages. Last year, an estimated 4,000 people participated in the day’s activi-
ties and events. Proceeds from the Block Party will be awarded in grants, to worthwhile commu-
nity based non-profit organizations. The complete list of grant recipients will be announced the day of the Block Party! The focus is local, so what you see, hear and taste comes from the area. There will be children’s events, live entertainment throughout the day, demonstrations, educational exhibits and of course, great food. This event is sure to entice, educate, and entertain all ages. KBP is a rain or shine event, and there is no admission fee. Parking is available at Traip Academy, Kittery Post Office,
Kittery Community Center and York Hospital in Kittery. Be sure to check the website for the latest updates on parking options and look for parking signs the day of the event. There will be a shuttle circulating during the day for rides to and from the party. The Foreside streets will be bursting with artisans and vendors of all stripes – from jewelry makers to non-profit informational booths, local art, clothing, toys and more – a shopper’s delight.

Safe Haven Humane Society to Expand to Farm By Joyce McKay, Owner of Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS Safe Haven has bought the farm – literally! Safe Haven has purchased Cattail Farm, a big beautiful property at 1784 Post Road in Wells, opposite Howe’s Flooring (shown in picture). This will give us the space and visibility we’ll need to carry us securely into the future. Eventually, our shelter, Adoption Center, kitten nursery, hospice care and Thrift Shop will all be under one roof of this antique farmhouse, carriage house and enormous, three-story apple barn.
How did we do it? With lots and lots of help, including from the incredible team at the Weekly Sentinel. For years, the Sentinel has given Safe Haven the voice and visibility that’s powered our growth.

They loved seeing the kitties out and about, interacting with each other and our volunteers, instead of cooped up in cages. They were impressed that our volunteers knew each of the kitties by name, and that we treated them like our own children. When they visited our thrift shop, they saw volunteers See HAVEN page 12...
