SUMMARY:A Charlie Brown Christmas at One Longfellow Square
DESCRIPTION:Join me for a nostalgic and jazzy holiday musical event with the Heather Pierson Jazz Trio at One Longfellow Square!  Enjoy standards from the 1960’s holiday special like O Tannenbaum and of course Vince Guaraldi’s incomparable Linus and Lucy theme.  It’s musical journey that’s sure to transport you back to magical childhood Christmas seasons of years past.  Tickets are selling fast (the 4:00pm show is already sold out)\, so if you’re interested\, buy your ticket(s) now and think later!  As the event draws closer and depending on the weather we can talk about a pre concert walk to take in the holiday lights or even a post concert nightcap at Top of East at Portland’s Westin Hotel.  So if you buy tickets\, let me know so we can coordinate as a group!  181 State Street\, Portland Maine 04101

SUMMARY:Pisgah Hill Preserve Full Moon Trek
DESCRIPTION:Come join us atop Pisgah Hill in New Gloucester to howl at the beautiful full Snow Moon as it rises majestically over nearby Bradbury Mountain!  The 12th installment of Royal River Conservation Trust’s extremely popular annual hike\, this year promises crisp\, clear skies for a fantastic experience.  This is an accessible\, low intensity 1.6 mile (total distance up and down) trek to the hilltop where we’ll be greeted with RRCT’s signature hospitality\, including hot cocoa\, s’mores and a roaring campfire to keep warm. \nLet’s plan on our MOAC contingent meeting at the Doughtery Road trailhead at 5:00pm (74 Dougherty Road\, New Gloucester).  That way\, we can catch RRCT’s introductory remarks\, and enjoy the sunset before setting out at dusk for the brief amble up to the top of Pisgah Hill.  Bring appropriate clothing (layers are best)\, hat\, gloves\, lighting (headlamp is recommended) and traction aids (if you have them\, just to be on the safe side).  RRCT also recommends water\, your cell phone and a whistle for safety.  Snow pack looks iffy at best\, but RRCT promises a magical trip up and down Pisgah with the trail lit by lanterns and snow cairns.  Open to all ages/abilities.   Leashed\, well-behaved canines and their conscientious\, waste-clearing owners are welcome.  Further details and registration form can be found at the website listed below.  Do pre-register however\, so RRCT volutneers can plan for adequate refreshments. \nI can be reached at marchills@gmail.com and/or text @ 207-332-8250  If texting\, please identify yourself!

SUMMARY:Portland Trails Holiday Dash 5K
DESCRIPTION:Let’s get together and burn off a few calories from the previous night’s MOAC Holiday Party!  And help out an allied trails organization with their biggest fundraising event of the year!  Whether you’re planning to run\, jog or walk\, join us and ring in the holiday season in MOAC outdoor-active style!  Less of a race (although there’s always a few confused souls who utterly miss the point and actually compete) and more of a 3.1 mile long pedestrian holiday parade.  Participants are encouraged to dress up in festive garb and just have a blast.  And why not?  Race route will be alongside Portland’s iconic Polar Express Narrow Gauge Railroad.  With a special extension to take in the scenic East End water treatment plant\, always an olfactory delight!  Your MOAC event organizer will be walking most of the course\, although pride and vanity might compel him to push his creaky knees and jog the last 200 yards – for the all important cow-bell enhanced\, race volunteer-cheered\, finish line photo-op!  Entry fee is a spendy $40\, but remember this is for a good cause.  And it includes a free gift (often a Portland Trails embroidered winter hat) and hot chocolate at the end.  I’ll be springing for the extra $15 meal ticket for the post race brunch and complimentary pint at nearby Ri Ra’s.  Come join us!

SUMMARY:Portland Bike Party!
DESCRIPTION:6/16/23 UPDATE: Weather forecast has gradually improved.  Temps now predicted to be in the low 60’s with a 20% chance of precipitation.  Who’s feeling lucky?  I’ll be there … putting the Adventure in Maine Outdoor Adventure Club! \nWeather report for Friday currently doesn’t look promising\, but posting this in case the outlook improves.  Assume event canceled/attend at own risk if outlook continues to look dour … \nI did this last month with another MOACer and it was an absolute hoot.  150 riders of all ages on a meandering 5 mile bike ride through the streets of Portland (pace best described as … glacial).  Ride stops midway somewhere along the route\, everyone dismounts and … has an impromptu half-hour long dance party!  Very well organized with safety volunteers stopping traffic at major intersections.  Riders festooned their mounts with all manner of horns\, bells and enough LED lights to decorate downtown for the holidays.  One guy had an adult tricycle with a pair of rock concert-sized speakers\, blaring raucous music the whole way.   No frickin’ clue what was powering those beasts\, but they gave the term “urban assault vehicle” a whole new meaning.   At the dance party\, another rider\, whose bike sported a pirate flag atop a kayak paddle\, was filling people’s waterbottles from a giant box of wine.  But only if you referred to him for the evening as … “Nutmeg”. \nNo\, of course none of this makes any sense!   Think Burning Man\, but on two wheels.  If you’re not rocking some kind of noise maker or festive bicycle lighting\, you’re missing the point.  But even if you don’t have any of that\, just bring your bike and join me for an evening of pedal-powered insanity!  Meet at North Boyd Street (Austin Street Brewery/Kennedy Park) in Portland’s Bayside neighborood at 6:45pm.  Perhaps noshing and libations afterwards\, depending on group interest.
