Beginner workshops are perfect for you to grab your friends, grab a drink and come make tiny trees! We’re bringing the awesome art of bonsai out of the hedged in gardens and into the streets! Or at least into your favorite bars/breweries/pubs. Bonsai Bar is a night of fun you don’t want to miss. Learn the fundamental skills and techniques behind the art of bonsai while enjoying a night out with friends! Our teachers will introduce core concepts and guide your experience as you pot, prune, and design your very own bonsai tree! Our Guarantee: These tiny trees are so hardy we guarantee you can keep yours alive, or we’ll replace it.

This workshop will be hosted at Apres. At Après, we’re hellbent on offering craft beverage enthusiasts a unique way to enjoy what they love. Our passionately-made small batch drinks celebrate the traditional and progressive flavors of the Maine lifestyle and are served up in a space filled with friends — both already made and soon to be.

Our naturally calorie-light hard seltzer and gluten-free hard cider call out to the adventurous, inquisitive drinker who cares about fresh ingredients and sustainable living.

Come see us today for a drink at our bar or patio — or grab an ice-cold 4-pack to enjoy at home.

Both the United States Congress and the Maine Legislature have recently taken aim at incentive programs that provide critical support to renewable energy projects in Maine. Many of these changes become effective in 2026 and are expected to have a dramatic effect on project development. Drummond Woodsum’s Energy Practice Group is closely tracking these developments and Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES) advocates for clean energy policies in Washington, DC. Join ClimateWork Maine for a 1-hour informative discussion focusing on an overview of changes to federal tax credits for renewable projects as well as changes to Maine’s net energy billing program and what those changes could mean for your business.

This American Legion Post #36 Breakfast Buffet has been a tradition spanning many years now. Aside from a few minor unforeseen and unavoidable changes, most everything else remains the same. All who enter the Legion Hall doors on a Breakfast Buffet Sunday, will get a great meal for a fair price/donation, get to see old friends and/or family, or meet someone interesting for the first time. The menu items have satisfied many folks over the years, and I have no doubt that this year will be no different. So come and enjoy the Legion Buffet Breakfast this season, enjoy the food, enjoy the camaraderie, and learn how you (Yes, You) can play a key role in this year's breakfast season - or next year's season. There are a number of very important people who make these breakfasts a success each year, if you have any interest in becoming a volunteer or member of the breakfast crew - ask for the least important person in the mix (Christopher) when you arrive for breakfast. These breakfast buffets take place every other Sunday starting on April 2, 2025.
