For the Men’s Night celebration on Thursday, Dec. 21, Studio 53 Fine Art will be open from 5-8 p.m. during its “Fall Into Winter” show. Art in this show includes the painting above, “Winter Delight,” an 18” x 18” oil on canvas by Lynne Seitzer depicting a child experiencing a first snow of the season. Exuberance and joy radiate from a smiling face as the snowflakes fall on rosy cheeks. Can’t make Men’s Night? The gallery, at 53 Townsend Ave., Boothbay Harbor, is open Fridays and Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The players were presented plaques at the MFHA Awards Banquet held at the Augusta Civic Center on Dec. 3. Meader was a Miss Maine Field Hockey finalist and she and Brown, as high school seniors, have been invited to play in the Senior All Star Game in July 2018 at the Maine Field Hockey Festival. Arsenault was one of only two sophomores named to the All State team. Courtesy of Donna Jordan
St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church will hold its Christmas Pageant as part of the Dec. 24 Christmas Eve Service at 4 p.m. at the church on Glidden Street in Newcastle. If you have kids or grandchildren who would like to join in, we would love to include them. All ages are welcome, infants through teenagers! The single practice will be held in the sanctuary on Saturday, Dec. 23, 10 a.m. to noon, when we will hand out parts and costumes, then walk through the pageant twice, finding a place for each child to shine. No memorization is required for this simple, yet lovely annual telling of the Christmas story as found in the Book of Luke, and featuring carols sung by the congregation. If possible, please contact Director of Choirs Linda Blanchard before the practice at lindamaine@mac.com or 380-2768 to let her know your child’s age and preferred part. Courtesy photo
