And yet... we can't ignore the sure signs of fall. One of our favorite "kick off the season" events happens this afternoon: the Back to School Bash at the CLC YMCA in Damariscotta.

This event gets our local kids geared up and ready for the start of the school year. Free backpacks stuffed full with supplies, free basic haircuts, LincolnHealth will be hosting a vaccination clinic, and many community partners will be onsite with resources and giveaways.

We'll be at the CLC YMCA today to capture the fun, and it will be part of our August "What's Happening at the Y" Show airing Saturday August 27 at 7pm.

These colorful backpacks were donated by LCTV Community Partner Colby & Gale, with additional contributions and donations by Quickturn Auto, LEGS Rotary Club, Louis Does, Coastal Carwash, Hagar Enterprises, Supplies Unlimited, King Eider's Pub, Damariscotta-Newcastle Rotary Club, and LCTV Community Partner Renys. Thank you to everyone in our community for making sure our students are ready to learn. It absolutely takes a village. 

A few more community announcements:  

• This Saturday, our friends at the Lincoln Home celebrate their 95th anniversary with a 1920's Lawn Party on the River. Details at Lincoln-Home.org/events or call 563-3350

• Coming Saturday, August 27 is a "Summer's End" Open Mic afternoon at Inn Along the Way, 741 Main Street in Damariscotta from 1:30pm-4:30pm. Details : Sylvia Tavares at sylviatavares502@gmail.com.

• We're partnering with friends at The Waldo Theatre to offer a Candidates Forum just before Maine's November 8 elections. Who would you like to see at this event, and what questions do you want our moderator to ask? 

• Do you know a High School student interested in learning broadcasting? We're still looking for a detail-oriented person to help us grow and improve LCTV's Community Programming. The role is perfect for someone who has 6-10 hours a week to work at our studio in Newcastle. Please send Larry a note at Yank@tidewater.net to learn more.
