Wally, the Red Sox mascot, is coming to Boothbay Harbor.

The 2018 Maine State Challenger Jamboree, presented by the Maine District 2 Little League, will be held on Boothbay Region High School fields Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 25 and 26. Wally will be here to cheer on the participants and to pose for team photos late in the day on Saturday.

The Little League Challenger Division® has been in existence since 1989 and is for individuals with physical or intellectual challenges, according to the Little League website.

Three concurrent morning games, where the score is not kept and the time limit is between and hour and an hour and a half, will be played on the Little League and high school baseball fields on Sherman Field and the Perkins Field softball field. The games will start at 10:30 and the community is urged to come out and cheer on the participants.

Ellsworth 1 and Lincoln will face off on the Little League field, South Portland/Biddeford and Medomak will be on the baseball field, and Oceanside and Ellsworth 2 will be on the softball field.

Subway will provide lunches at noon at the concession stand at Sherman Field.

The afternoon activities begin at 12:30 with a buddy kickball game.

At 2 p.m., the community is urged to cheer on the participants as they “parade” to the nearby Sarah’s Scoops from the high school for some ice cream.

There will be three optional events beginning at 3 p.m. – at Pitch, Hit and Run/Home Run Derby, a batting cage/bullpen radar gun, and an autograph session.

A barbecue will be held at the concession stand at 5 p.m., followed by the appearance of Wally from 5 to 7 p.m. During Wally’s visit, a Grand Slam Jamboree ceremony will be presented by the Medomak Little League.

Night games will begin at 6:30. Lincoln and Oceanside will be on the Little League field, and Medomak and Ellsworth 1 will be on the baseball field. At 7:30, Ellsworth 2 and South Portland/Biddeford will be on the Little League field.

The Jamboree events will be held Sunday if the weather cancels Saturday’s schedule. Sunday is also reserved for pick-up games for any teams that want to play, beginning at 10 a.m.
