Swing Into Spring With
May
Festival 2004
A Celebration of Generations
The
third annual May Festival was held at the Bangor
Elks Club on May 8, 2004. Everyone who attended
felt the evening was a 'swinging' success!
Co-sponsored
by the Eastern Agency on Aging, the swing dance
celebrated healthy, active aging. Participants
of all ages danced the night away to the spirited
music of local band The Moon Puppies while dancers
from the Back
Door Dance Studio's Zoot Suit Review dance
team entertained the crowd between band breaks
with costumed performances of swing dance classics.
The
Center on Aging would like to thank everyone who
worked to plan the event as well as those who
attended.
May
Festival 2003
May
Festival 2003 was held May 9-10 in historic Norumbega
Hall, one of downtown Bangor 's architectural treasures.
Subtitled "A Celebration of Generations," May
Festival is meant to recognize and honor the important
roles that older adults play in our families and
communities. Guests came from all over to partake
of a tasty luncheon catered by Killarney's, and
to enjoy entertainment and informational sessions
stretching over two full days. Generous community
sponsors and supporters joined a roster of talented
presenters and performers, as well as a dedicated
and hard-working volunteer organizing committee,
to put on a memorable program. Some of the festival
highlights are featured in the photo album below.
