2012 Community Tour Celebration at Payson Park
The 2012 Community Tour celebrates those who give their hearts, time and skills to strengthen communities. The two-month program kicked off on May 12th in Miami, Florida, and continues up the East Coast, closely following the route of the East Coast Greenway and culminating in Portland, Maine, on July 7th, the International Day of Cooperatives.
The Tour features eight major weekend stops in key cities along the northerly route, including Miami, Charleston, Durham, Fredericksburg, Wilmington, New York City, Providence and Portland. Additionally, smaller weekday events will take place at stops along the route between the key cities. While events and activities will vary by market, the overall theme of cooperatives, community service and volunteerism will be the hallmark of each celebration.
The Portland, Maine event will focus on getting the whole family active—in fun ways. You'll find booths highlighting volunteer opportunities for everyone from kids to adults: Portland Trails, Maine Island Trails, the Bike Coalition of Maine, the Maine Commission on Community Service, AARP Create the Good, Healthy Portland and more! And we'll have lots of great activities, from a hula-hooping contest to a game of Musical Cows.” Kids can participate in a Bike Rodeo, where they'll learn bike safety tips.
Don't miss spectacular performances by Pihcintu Multinational Children's Chorus and the Blue Lobster Community Chorus from Lucid Stage. Sample the food that makes Maine great—lobster rolls from the Maine Lobster Festival, fried clam cakes from the Yarmouth Clam Festival, and shrimp harvested by Port Clyde Fresh Catch, a fisherman’s cooperative, just to name a few.
Local Maine dairy farmers will bring in a calf for the kids to pet. And, of course, you'll be there to welcome the final riders as they conclude the 2012 Community Tour. Cabot Creamery Cooperative will also announce the Reward Volunteers GRAND PRIZE winners so get ready to cheer for community spirit, volunteerism, and big hearts!
WHEN: July 7, 2012 10am-2pm
WHERE: Payson Park, Baxter Blvd., Portland, ME
