UPCOMING SENIOR TRIPS

MAINE DUCK TOURS It’s a boat! It’s a bus! It’s a Maine Duck! Laugh and learn aboard this fun, fully narrated, amphibious tour of Portland.

When we began planning for the 1st Annual

York County Blues Fest, we reached out to fellow

blues lover Mike Rich. Mike’s work can be seen all

over downtown Portland and the rest of the

country, he’s even received the award from the

Portland Phoenix for “Best Graffiti Artist”. We

asked him to donate his time and create us a logo,

he said yes without hesitation! You can now buy a

T shirt with the awesome logo for just $20 and the

profits all go to our Park Improvement Fund. To

order just give us a call at 247-6166 x115.

Thanks so much Mike, we love it!

Bringing Our Park Back to the People Friendship Park was getting weathered and was in need of

many repairs. We didn’t want the taxpayers to take on the entire

burden of the expense. The solution? Waterboro Rec formed a Park

Improvement Fund where many repairs are now being done with

funds raised from donations and sponsorships! (Over $12,000

raised so far!)

In the last few months we’ve begun completely remodeling the

older, larger Snack Shack so we can resume the sale of concessions

at our events! We’ve added service windows, a new roof, repaired

the walls, installed new plumbing, rewired for 200amp electrical

and more! A new spotlight was added to shine on our American

Flag and lights are being added to the bandstand.

At the little league field we’ve repainted the dugouts inside and

out, tended to the field itself and are turning the old, smaller Snack

Shack into storage for Shaker Valley Little League. However, it

wasn’t just the Rec Department making all this happen. We

worked cooperatively with our Department of Public Works, our

Maintenance Department, Normand Electric and our biggest

thanks to Dave Moreau, owner of ACH Plumbing and Heating

who donated his time to redo all the plumbing!

Our next big plans are to redo the playground area. Do you

want to help too? Buy tickets and T shirts for our Blues Fest,

purchase concessions at our new Shack Snack during our events or

just send in a donation of any amount!

Together, we can bring Friendship Park back to being the

family fun and athletic park it used to be… and more!

Nathan Michaud

Nathan Michaud is an instrumental guitarist and

composer on a quest to bring heartfelt music with

substance back to the masses. Inspired by many of the

great blues players, his music connects with listeners on

an emotional level almost border-lining on spiritual.

Over the years Nathan has developed his own unique

style of playing, derived from many different genres of

music, from Blues & Rock to Classical and Jazz, you just

never know what direction his next note may go and that

is what will keep you coming back for more!


Deej SG an d Bluzolog y

Deej (aka. Dave Lowe) has fronted several bands

throughout his lifetime and then spent over 15 years

playing drums before finally switching to lead guitar in

2010 at the age of 50. Deej has always had an

“artist/creative” streak which now has infused his unique

and emotional Blues style that developed completely

devoid of direct outside influences other than what was in

his head and his heart.

Deej also feels it is important to share his message,

particularly with the “older” crowd that “It’s NEVER too

late to do what you love!” His active guitarist presence on

Facebook and his guitar group “Massive Blind Jam

Project” are just some proof of the truth and importance of

this message!
