Ogunquit Performing Arts Celebrates Capriccio 2015 OGUNQUIT September 6 through 19 brings exciting special events that mark the 25th anniversary of the two-week long, townwide Festival of the Arts know as Capriccio. Twenty-five years ago when the Ogunquit Performing Arts Committee planned a special evening of music to celebrate Ogunquit’s 10th birthday as an independent town, little did they envision the special two-week long town-wide Festival of the Arts that it would grow into over the years. Again this year concerts were planned,

This annual concert will feature guest organists, pianists, singers, and ensembles performing in the church’s lovely historic sanctuary. Free admission, donations welcome.

Tickets: $15 advance, See CAPPRICCIO page 36...

This trend overwhelmingly affects children; Some 24 percent of Maine children are considered food insecure, meaning that these children do not have access to adequate nutrition, especially fresh fruits and vegetables. The problem of child hunger in Maine is daunting, but we here at Oak Woods Farm believe that it can be overcome. That is why we are

ganic produce to food insecure children in southern Maine. Using modern organic farming techniques, we are able to grow a large amount of food for rela-
tively little investment; If we meet our fundraising goal of $10,000 for next year, we will be able to provide a full year of organic produce for over 100 Maine children. Whenever possible, we will work directly with struggling local families to get them the nutrition they need. We will work to educate both parents and children about how to store and prepare our fresh produce, and develop a plan that meets their nutritional and financial needs. Any produce not distributed directly to families will be donated to local food banks,
