EVENTS "Time fo-ah what's goin' on," as the man who owned a television station in Bangor, Maine used to say when presenting community events. In this pandemic craziness, I've neglected this page -- but I'm back on the program. Several of our favorite venues are still figuring out logistics for providing entertainment, but we will post events as we learn of them. In the meantime, here are some dates you're sure to find meaningful. Or not. HAPPY MAY!
