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.

During spring migration warblers are everywhere. But these small, colorful, active birds can often be hard to locate and identify. Here’s your chance to get some practice before all our trees leaf out. A walk through the variety of habitat types that the trails around Fields Pond have to offer should yield a diverse assortment of bird species. These walks are led by Wesley Hutchins. Wesley graduated from the University of Maine at Orono with a Bachelors of Science in Wildlife Ecology. He has had a passion for wildlife and birds in particular since a very young age, and has worked with monarch butterflies, pest insects, and domestic mice. Wesley has also worked surveying birds in the wild and worked in wild bird rehabilitation.
