Members of the Sheepscot Valley Conservation Association are working hard to make the fourth annual Champagne on the Sheepscot event a fun-filled evening.

This year the party will be held at a historic home and property bordering Squam Creek on Westport Island on Sept.15 from 5 to 7 p.m.

The original home consists of the present living and dining rooms built in 1750, with additions added later. Furnished with English and American antiques, and works by many Maine artists, the house provides a wonderful spot to enjoy views of the cove and Harper Island. The surrounding lawns and gardens, filled with native plants and perennials, include a newly constructed sunken garden. Guests can wander freely through the house and lawns.

The event features delectable hors d’oeuvres, drinks and live music. Tickets are $40 or $125 to become a patron of the event.

The People’s Choice Photography Contest is open to all who want to share their favorite images taken in the Sheepscot Watershed. Photos will be displayed at the event and guests will vote for their favorite. The three top winners will each get a cash prize. For details on the photo contest, go to www.sheepscot.org.
