The Boothbay Railway Village museum has been overwhelmed by the response to both the North Pole Express and new Candlelight & Cocktails on Rails events. Even after adding a fifth day and later-than-planned departure times, the events still sold out well in advance and the phone calls keep coming. The museum’s staff and volunteers have come up with an opportunity for one more chance to celebrate the holiday season in vintage style.
Craft Fair Rescheduled
The Jefferson Boy Scout Troop 216 holiday craft fair originally scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 10 has been rescheduled for Sunday, Dec. 17 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. It had been canceled due to inclement weather.
Sheepscott Community Church Supper Canceled
The Sheepscott Community Church Board has decided to cancel the community supper scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 9 as a result of weather forecasts. Safety is the board’s primary concern and it wants to ensure it is not putting anyone at risk. The church will miss the opportunity to share a meal and break bread together, but looks forward to next month’s community supper on Saturday, Jan. 13, 2018.
Harbor Room Benefit for Boat Shop
On Monday, Dec. 4, The Harbor Room restaurant in New Harbor is hosting a “Make Mondays Matter” fundraiser for The Carpenter’s Boat Shop. Owners Cerina Leeman and Taylor Corson will donate 10 percent of all proceeds from both lunch and dinner to the boat shop.
Servpro Animal-Shelter Supply Drive

Free Wild Seed-Bomb Workshop at Co-Op
People are invited to join Rising Tide Community Market Outreach Coordinator Anna DeGloria, a plant enthusiast and Wild Seed Project volunteer, to learn about native plants of Maine and how to prepare seed bombs for the garden or for a friend as an eco-friendly gift just in time for the holidays. DeGloria’s free workshop will take place from noon-2 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 3 at Rising Tide Community Market, 323 Main St., Damariscotta.
Oxbow Bottle Release and Live Music on Black Friday

Wiscasset Tree Lighting
The annual Wiscasset Christmas tree lighting will be held Saturday, Dec. 2 at 4:30 p.m. on the town common. There will be holiday music performed by students in grades five through 12, with a sing-along of familiar songs.
Thanksgiving Dinner for Those Alone
For those alone on Thanksgiving Day, a free dinner will be available at the Waldoboro American Legion, located at 181 Jefferson St. in Waldoboro, at 1 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 23. Unlike some of the community dinners, this one is actually on Thanksgiving Day. It is intended for those who find themselves alone on that day. There are those who, for whatever reason, have no relatives, children, or neighbors to visit that day. This dinner is for them!
Christmas Town and Craft Show
The annual Christmas Town and craft fair will be held at the Jefferson fire station Sunday, Dec. 3 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Little ones can visit and have their picture taken with Santa from 1-3 p.m.

Visit the Yule Goat at Farm’s Holiday Craft Market
The magic of Christmas is furry and four-footed at Pumpkin Vine Family Farm’s holiday craft markets on Sundays, Dec. 3 and 17. In Scandinavian tradition, the Yule Goat brings presents to children at Christmas, accompanied by the Tomten, a farm gnome who looks after the well-being of the animals.
Old-Fashioned Holiday Fun at Boothbay Railway Village
The Boothbay Railway Village museum is celebrating the holidays in more ways than ever before this year. With a keen eye on tradition, the activities are both on the museum’s campus in Boothbay and in partnership with L.L. Bean and its Northern Lights celebration in Freeport.
