SUMMARY:Join MOACer Jean Armstrong at Mayo Street Arts Gallery Opening
DESCRIPTION:Join MOACer Jean Armstrong at Mayo Street Arts Gallery Opening Friday\, 5/1/26 for 1st Friday Artwalk. Mayo St. Arts\, at 10 Mayo St.\, 2 streets parallel to Franklin Arterial toward Munjoy Hill\, is hosting the Miniature Show with over 125 miniature works of art in many media types. Most items are for sale and profits benefit Mayo Street Arts. Jean joins dozens of artists that were selected to be in this show. The miniature show is a yearly tradition\, one that is particularly needed this year where the city took away Mayo Street’s non profit status so they are now facing financial challenges with city taxes.  The show is free and will be up for a couple of months but come say hi to the artists at the opening Friday or check out the art on the walls when you attend one of the many Mayo Street Arts shows soon.

SUMMARY:Memorial Day Weekend Camping in Bar Harbor - UPDATE!!
DESCRIPTION:As of 3/25/26\, Hadley’s lists 9 tent sites available and “plenty” of RV sites (water/electric/some with sewer). If you are interested in this trip\, please don’t wait too long. You also do NOT need to stay at Hadley’s. You are welcome to outdoor adventure with us and hang out for the evening/whenever festivities. \nLet’s keep a long-standing MOAC tradition alive by welcoming summer with a group campout on Mt. Desert Island. \nWe camped at Hadley’s Point CG last year and had a great time. Hadley’s Point is just off Route 3 as you head to Bar Harbor. It is 2.5 miles before Bar Harbor Campground. Holiday weekend prices appear to be: \n\nField tent sites are $37.00 per night\nWooded tent sites are $39.00 per night\nSites with water/electric are $54.00 per night\nThey even have cabins if you want to check those out\n\nThere appears to be a $3.25 campground fee\, plus tax of course. \nhttps://www.hadleyspoint.com/ \nTammy and I will reserve site C-37 (water and electric) and it is near to a pod of tent sites (13-20\, 30-36\, 40-42). We will also reserve C-36 to use as a home base for the group. We will ask attendees to help pay for this community site. If we get 25 people\, that will mean about $5 per person for the weekend. \nIf you choose to go\, please drop us a line at pcm25me@gmail.com so we know who to expect and what site you are in. You can also stay anywhere you like and come visit as well. \nYou do have to make your own reservations. Deposit amounts vary. For 1-2 nights\, it is the full balance. For 3 or more it is $100. Unfortunately\, they state there are no refunds for a holiday weekend. \nIt might be best to grab a site as soon as you can if you are interested. \nWe will continue the traditional experience of group happy hours and pot luck dinners in the evenings. Restaurants are also on the table. Activities during the day will be up to the group. Hiking\, biking\, paddling\, etc.
