“Woodies in the Cove” Free to Attend for the 11th Year WELLS T he e le ve nt h a n nu a l Woodies in the Cove car show, sponsored by the Historical Society of Wells and Ogunquit (HSWO), will be held on Saturday, August 13. The annual show brings together Woodies – vehicles constructed of wood or styled to resemble wood elements – from the Model As of the ‘20s to the Tin Woodies of the ‘50s. According to HSWO, interest in these unique vehicles has made this show one of the largest attended and most popular car shows in New England and
on the East Coast. It is also the largest fundraiser for the society and remains free to the public. “Visitors and residents alike look forward to this show every year,” says executive director Bryce Waldrop, “It is like a museum of fine Woodie cars and a fun community event for people of all ages. And this year we will be offering a colorful, 16-month Woodie calendar for sale. They are sure to sell out!” Trophies for various categories will also be awarded by the society. The event will be held next to McDonalds on Route 1
in Wells, at 974 Post Road, and runs from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., followed by a parade from the venue through Ogunquit and into Perkins Cove, 2-3 p.m. Vehicle registrants are for Woodies only, with some additional unique and high-end cars that may attend by special invitation. Owners of vehicles wishing to participate should contact the event coordinator, Sonny Perkins, at woodiesinthecove@gmail.com and include a picture of the car.

The library wanted to create a series on aging gracefully, focusing on subjects and issues that this age group will have to consider in the next decade. The series will begin on Thursday, August 11, 2:30-3:30 p.m., with a program on down-
sizing presented by Jill Buchan, co-owner of J&L Home Or-
ganizing. Following programs will include a presentation on dementia by Dr. Liz Castillo, MD, PhD, of York Hospital, on August 25; a session on estate planning and health care proxies presented by Brin Moore, Esq., on September 8; and a presentation on assisted living options by Jen Given, co-director of Coastal Transitions of Maine, on September 22. Further pro-
grams will be announced at a later date and will include topics such as caregiver resources and mental health services. These events will be held in person at the Ogunquit Memorial Library, 166 Shore Road.

A Start to the Bark Park in York YORK The Friends of York Dog Park (FOYDP) are pleased to announce that the site preparation for the community dog park at 17 Bog Road has begun. The organization has engaged the service and expertise of Rick Barnaby, of Yankee Hardwood, to create the pathway through the woods that will lead to the fenced-in acreage on which there will be one large and one small exercise pen. Strategies are being implemented to adhere to both aesthetic and environmental guidelines. In addition to creating and grading a woodland walk and grading the pen area, an expanded parking area adjacent to

the Mackey Skate Park will also be created. Friends of York Dog Park is a nonprofit organization founded by York residents who believe a community dog park will be a benefit to all by providing a safe and confined location for owners to meet and exercise their dogs. The group first met in December 2019 and incorporated as a nonprofit in May 2020. No taxpayer funding is involved in the project, and FOYDP actively seeks contributions from individuals and businesses to fund the park’s creation and maintenance.
