First Congregational Church of Wiscasset will once again offer their talents, time and treasures to raise funds for many community organizations on Saturday, July 28.

For the 29th year, visitors will be offered an array of handmade crafts, plants, baked goods, toys, jewelry, books, “jumble” and a silent auction of some wonderful donated items. In addition, the Café on the Common will offer fresh homemade foods for your breakfast and lunch.

There will be free entertainment during the fair and there will be games for children of all ages.

One of the biggest draws of Summerfest is always the Dog Show and Parade.

Anyone is welcome to enter their dog in the parade by registering for a nominal fee. Participating dogs and their owners will take a few turns around the common, while judges determine who is the winner in several categories, such as “cutest,” “best tail wager,” “most unusual,” etc.

Following the parade, dogs can participate in several contests, like catching the most treats, carrying a hot dog the furthest, and doing the best individual trick. All dogs are welcome, and medals and ribbons will be awarded.

All proceeds from Summerfest, as always, will be distributed to as many as 21 local charities and community organizations. Please come and enjoy a day of fun, bargains and good food.
