Memorial Day Cookout Set for May 26

On Memorial Day The Neighborhood House will be hosting its annual “Community Cookout.” The day will begin with a parade at 10:30am. The parade starts at Mt. Desert Elementary School, works its way to Main Street and wraps up at the Harbor. Following the parade there will be Memorial Day ceremonies organized by the American Legion. When the ceremonies conclude, we’ll fire up the grills and everyone is invited to join us for lunch.

The suggested donation for lunch is just $5, and veterans are invited to enjoy lunch “on the house.” Volunteers will be serving up you choice of a hamburger, cheeseburger, veggieburger or two hot dogs along with chips, a drink and ice cream sandwich.

THANK YOU to our awesome cookout sponsors for their continued support of this highly anticipated annual celebration. They include S.R Tracy Paint Shop, Thomas W. Wallace Construction, WMH Architects, Main Street Variety, Northeast Plumbing and Heating along with the Mt. Desert Police Association.

NOTE: The American Legion is always on the lookout for groups or individuals who would like to take part in the parade. Children are invited to march with our Neighborhood House parade contingent (we’ll meet at Mt. Desert Elementary at 10:00am), but if you have a group that would like to join in, please contact us.
