Fun things to do in September

Sep 09 thru Sep 10, 2011. The Bowdoinham waterfront and village center are full of action at the Celebrate Bowdoinham Festival. Favorite events from the past and new attractions are all part of a great day's schedule. Celebrate Bowdoinham starts Friday at 7 p.m. with a Concert at the gazebo by Justin Crouse and Friends. Saturday starts off with the Chicken Run (5K Road Race) beginning at the Community School. Then at 10 a.m. the Celebrate Bowdoinham Parade kicks off at the Fire Station, a long procession of floats, personalities, organizations, horseback riders, fire trucks, the ever popular Kora cars, the Ziggurat Theater Ensemble, Veterans, Drum and Bugle Corps. The parade travels from Post Road to Main Street, then down Main Street to River Road and up Ridge Road. After the Parade, the activities start at the waterfront-rides, exhibits, contests and great food and music- something for everyone!! A climbing wall/bungee jumping unit and an inflatable universe will be major attractions all day. The Bowdoinham Public Library's annual Book Sale also is happening. The Bowdoinham Historical Society will exhibit objects and photos and publications and the Fire Dep't will have a bean supper from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Rain date is Sept. 11.
