LINCOLNVILLE — University of Maine Cooperative Extension’s Tanglewood 4-H Camp and Learning Center plans to host a public festival and dinner to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

The festival is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 8, at 1 Tanglewood Road in Lincolnville.

Events will be held throughout the day, beginning at 8 a.m. Activities include a fun run, crafts, games and cider pressing. Family-friendly activities are set for 2-4:30 p.m., followed by a welcome and presentation by UMaine Extension staff, and the Tanglewood board and alumni.

For a $40 suggested donation, guests can attend dinner at 5:30 p.m., followed by live music featuring Tanglewood alum Louisa Stancioff and her band.

For decades, Tanglewood has provided summer camp and school-based learning experiences to more than 2,500 youth each year. In keeping with the camp’s original charter, these programs aim to connect youth to the natural world and teach them that they are part of a diverse and dynamic human community, according to a news release from Jessica Decke of UMaine Cooperative Extension.

During the event, past and current staff will share memories of the last 40 years and reflections on aspirations for the future.
