The First Congregational Church of Wiscasset held its 33rd annual Summerfest on Saturday, July 23 in the park below the church. The fair was highlighted by a parade of dogs. Other features included a silent auction, refreshments, yard sale tables, and music by Jeff Grosser and the Jazz Razcals.
According to co-organizer Jan Whitfield, all the proceeds are divided among 20 local organizations and charities. “It all goes out to the community organizations,” said Whitfield.
The dog parade consisted of 16 entries, a few down from last year, said master of ceremonies Chris Sieracki of Edgecomb. “Every dog gets a prize,” said Sieracki.
The parade was followed by prize awards and silly dog tricks. “It is all for fun,” said Sieracki.
