The Gatherings

Shape note singing is a system originally devised to teach sight-reading and singing in harmony to folks with no musical background. From its beginnings in colonial America, it now has an international following. Non-performance singing, in four parts, for the joy of the activity alone is a beautiful example of community-based art. No experience or talent is required. We sing for one another; everyone is welcome.Our afternoon of Shape-note singing would include a brief history and description of the music and then simply singing from The Sacred Harp, the tune book most commonly used for this. We will bring loaner books. 
Cost: $2/person

Healthy Peninsula’s Magic Food Bus is a seasonal traveling farm stand and mobile library that delivers free, fresh, local produce, books, and information about food security resources every week to every town on the Blue Hill Peninsula, Deer Isle, and Stonington.

The Magic Food Bus rolls from late June through the end of September and is free to everyone!Staffed primarily by volunteers, the Magic Food Bus has grown over the years in size, reach, and complementary activities. Originally conceived as a book mobile, the metaphorical ‘bus’ (really a cadre of volunteer vehicles), now serves up thousands of pounds of free, fresh vegetables to hundreds of people every growing season. 

While fresh produce is the main course, books remain on the menu—the Friends of the Blue Hill Public Library, as well as other community donors, offer free, interesting, fun, and informative summer reading material to Bus patrons of all ages.
