FARMINGTON — The Farmington Historical Society will welcome spring and the community to the North Church, as it opens its doors in Farmington’s historic downtown with a public dinner and concert on Saturday, May 3.
Native Oak, a Farmington-area band, has been playing at local venues for over 15 years. They specialize in acoustic songs of the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s, ranging from folk, country, soft rock, to bluegrass and traditional music. They have opened twice for the Kingfield POP summer concerts and played for the Caribou Summer Festival and many benefits for local organizations. Bill Colwell, of New Sharon, provides vocals and picks a mean mandolin and guitar. Randy Gauvin, of Farmington, plays acoustic guitar, harmonica and banjo and also provides vocals. Mike Worthley, of Phillips, has played in the area for over 40 years on guitar, button accordion and vocals.
The North Church has undergone extensive restoration this past year and the FHS is eager to show the community. The public dinner will take place in the lower meeting room level and the concert upstairs in the audience room.
A lasagna (vegetarian and gluten free also available) dinner includes garden salad, garlic bread, dessert and beverage will be available. Beer and wine will be available for purchase.
The dinner will start at 5:30 p.m. and is $8 per person. Reserve your seat via email: mainetaffy@gmail.com or phone: 207-778-2835. The concert begins at 7 p.m.; donations will be accepted.
