The 2015 edition of Woolwich Day set for Saturday, Aug. 1 gets underway with a road race, continues with kids events, including a water slide and bounce house, and finishes with a performance by an Elvis tribute artist.

The day’s activities will go on rain or shine, but the weather forecast is for plenty of sunshine. All of the activities will be held on the grounds around the town office and fire station including the waterfront park.

This year’s event features a free performance by Robert Lewis, an Elvis tribute artist of King and Company Legends. Elvis (Lewis) should be easy to spot wearing his trademark white aloha jumpsuit. He’ll take the stage in the historic Nequasset Meeting House at 1 p.m. for an hour-long show.

Pet owners are once again welcome to bring their pets to the annual Blessing of the Animals. The Rev. Dr. Alan Baughcum from the Day’s Ferry Congregational Church will conduct the traditional ceremony beginning at 10 a.m. on the lawn of the Nequasset Meeting House. (See the July 23 edition of the Wiscasset Newspaper.) Remember all dogs should be leashed.

Registration for the Bob Meade Classic 10k road race is from 7 to 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, although runners can still preregistration at the town office. The entry fee is $10 for preregistration, $12 on the day of the race. The course both starts and ends at Nequasset Park and traverses the Barley Neck, Hockomack, Murphy Corner and George Wright roads.

There’s also a 1-mile fun run and walk starting at 8 a.m. The entry fee for it is $5.

Kids activities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. include swimming at the waterfront park, a bounce house, and balloon sculptures. Something new this year will be a water slide sponsored by the Woolwich Fire Dept. Auxiliary.

There will also be tables with people selling books, arts and crafts and refreshments too, including baked goods, lemonade, hot dogs and hamburgers.

The Woolwich Historical Society will be open the doors to its 19th century farmhouse museum and barn offering free admission all day. It’s an opportunity to see hundreds of interesting items including Native American artifacts, handmade quilts, spinning wheels, antique tools, a Civil War rifle, military drum and more.

The recreation committee will host a silent auction. They’ll also be a raffle with prizes including a pair of Downeaster train tickets, gift certificates from the Taste of Maine Restaurant and Plant’s Seafood, a tool from the Shelter Institute and a ride on a lobster boat.

Everyone is welcome to attend the event.
