Whoopie Pie Festival!

Whoopie Pie Festival theater’s sweet spot

By Diana Bowley
BDN Staff


DOVER-FOXCROFT, Maine — The Cranberry Island Kitchen whoopie pies that wowed television host Martha Stewart will be pitted against local cooks and Governor’s Restaurant on Saturday when the Center Theatre sponsors its first Whoopie Pie Festival.

More than 12 bakers from as far away as the Cranberry Island Kitchen in Cumberland have entered the competition, and more are expected to sign up before the 10 a.m. June 27 event in Dover-Foxcroft.

“We were brainstorming ideas and the idea of the Whoopie Pie Festival came up, and it just seemed like a great idea,” Patrick Myers of the theater said Wednesday. The theater was looking for kind of a large outside event that we could do in the early summer while the summer folks are coming up, and we wanted to make sure they knew the theater was here.”

A Facebook page the theater made on the whoopie pie has about 6,500 fans on it. “We knew we tapped into something good,” Myers said.

For $5, visitors Saturday can sample up to 20 different whoopie pies entered into the competition and can vote for their favorite. Whoopie pies, along with other Maine-made food and crafts, also will be available for sale.

Several awards will be presented during the event, including the “People’s Whoopie Pie.” Official judges will present the awards, according to Myers.

Teaming up with the theater is the Shiretown Homecoming Committee, which will offer lunch and a barbecue, and the Piscataquis Regional YMCA, which will offer games for all ages.

Myers said there is still time for other businesses, home bakers and organizations to enter the contest and sign up for a booth. This would be a great opportunity for organizations such as churches and nonprofits to raise money and have fun in the process, he said.

For information about the festival or to sign up for the event, contact the Center Theatre at 564-8943 or go to www.CenterTheatre.org.

view of Bangor from Brewer side

found it :)

what I did that was different...painted my toes a normal color :)

Bring your lawnchairs down to Pickering Square at sundown (around 8:30) for six Fridays beginning June 26th for Summer Camp—the FREE movie series! Call 207.745.1202 for up-to-date info. In case of rain, it will be rescheduled for August 7th.

Check out the website here for the schedule. This Friday is The Gang's All Here.

Hmmm perhaps another reason to venture south this fall...I want to see the traveling exhibit "To Live Forever: Egyptian Treasures From the Brooklyn Museum," opening at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Virginia, in October. The exhibit is only there until January 2010.

Upcoming Exhibitions

To Live Forever: Egyptian Treasures from the Brooklyn Museum October 14, 2009–January 3, 2010
More than 120 items from one of the world’s greatest collections of Egyptian antiquities will help guests explore the universal theme of life after death. Mummies, sarcophagi, jewelry, statuary, papyri, and other age-old pieces illustrate the strategies that ancient Egyptians used to evade death and, ultimately, live forever. The Chrysler, which also is renovating its own Egyptian gallery, is the only mid-Atlantic venue for this popular traveling exhibition.

See u soon

found this on my phone from my mum...you gotta admit you cant help liking them. :)

July 17, 18 and 19

I will be going this year to the festival even if it rains!...Free Parking! ;)

I went to jury duty and all I got was this certificate ;)

Best GAP commercial ever....some reason thought of this today....

Aww no one noticed something I changed about my appearance today...and no not that I was wearing my glasses...I'll post a picture tomorrow evening ;)
Some reason I was in a good mood today...Felt good to laugh :)

this kept me giggling for a while :)

Zombieland

In theaters October 9, 2009....I want to see this.

So I thought of a fun goal for the summer....visit as many lighthouses as possible...so far I think there around 60 on the coast of Maine. I would like to document that I have been there. I can't find my photos from when I saw Pemaquid and the Portland Head Light, but I know I have been to those. A repeat visit may be in order.
Here are the few I have documented...


Pumpkin Island Lighthouse (Deer Isle, Maine)

Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse (Rockland, Maine)

West Quoddy Lighthouse (Lubec, Maine)

East Quoddy Lighthouse

Bass Harbor Lighthouse (One of my favorites)
I went to Fort Point Lighthouse today in Stockton Springs. I am sure I have seen more although I don't have pictures. I am sure I could see a bunch down in Southern Maine with no trouble.

Wishing for a nice sunny day....please, please, please!

Found this picture of Valerie... Another one of my favorites. Melony was just a baby in this. :) Crazy to think Mel is 21 now! Valerie would have been 26 this June.

Another good one of the two of them.

Secret spot in Hampden...got soaked getting here, but I think it was worth it for the view. Didn't find the geocache near by though.

At Fort Point State Park...despite the crappy weather I do love being by the sea!

Fort Point Light, Stockton Springs, Maine

This is one of my favorite photos of her as a kid. :)

Yeah that's right....bacon chocolate pancakes....made with Vosges Mo's Bacon Bar...saw this on peaceloveandchocolate Its like they took a craving and made it into a reality....incredible...Yeah I would eat it...FEAR NO FOOD!

We had some fun the other day after they painted the walls at work and majority of us were wearing blue.
