The Sylvina Beal is scheduled to arrive around 8am on Friday. It will make the first time in fifty years that a schooner has sailed up the St. Croix River to Calais, and 150 years since a ship arrived bearing passengers. The schooner will be docked behind the Calais Free Library all day Friday for viewing and will set sail for a return voyage downriver to her home port at Eastport just before sunset.
The new Veteran’s Memorial at Memorial Park will be dedicated as part of the ceremonies on Friday. Bricks engraved with the names of friends and loved ones who have served our country can be purchased. Contact Calais City Hall for details.
Don’t wash your cars! We need all the sunshine we can find this week to celebrate the 200th birthday of the City of Calais.
