Eastport Plans Rousing 4th

Why limit the July Fourth to a single day? Eastport residents begin a week of celebrations July 1 under the theme “Home is Where the Heart Is.” Organizers have extended a hand to the town’s nearest neighbor: Canada. Planned events start on Canada Day (July 1) with a barbeque, fireworks, road races and more. From the arrival of a United States Coast Guard Cutter Jefferson Island to the King of Silly, Eastport residents have planned five days of festivities.
