Activities are in full swing here at Ocean Point and this past weekend was a busy one.

The Town Hall was well attended last Thursday evening. If you are interested in being a contributor to the OPCT but have not yet made your contribution please do so. The same holds true for racquet sports fees. Payment may be made on line or via mail to OPCT P.O. Box 642, East Boothbay, Maine 04544.

There are many to thank for last week’s activities. Thank you to Jonathan and Kate Dawson for a fun and wonderful Horribles Parade and to the many band members as well as the participants and spectators all along the route. I believe that this year’s parade was one of the largest in quite a few years.

It was a great turnout for the OP 5K and Fun Run that took place early Sunday. Many thanks to Stephanie Kaler and Kelly Robbins for there many hours of planning and organizing and to all the volunteers who assisted in the success of the race.

The first softball game of the season found Team Dawson defeating Team Anderson 8-4 and in Sunday’s game Team Rush defeated Team Dawson 4-3.
