Sailing onward toward Windjammer Days 2015

Schedule announced
Thu, 12/18/2014 - 12:30pm

    The Friends of Windjammer Days group has completed the 2015 Windjammer Days schedule with all but the entertainment lineup ready to go. Next year's dates are June 21-27.

    Windjammer Days has a new logo, in red, white and blue, designed by Dawn Guzzo of Atomic Studios in Boothbay Harbor.

    The Friends of Windjammer Days meet the second Tuesday of each month, except December, at the Boathouse Bistro at 5 p.m.

    Volunteers are still needed to help with the events. Check out the schedule, and if something “floats your boat,” plan on attending a meeting and be part of this dynamic all-volunteer, nonprofit group.

    Visit the official Windjammer Days website frequently for updates: www.windjammerdays.org.
