Troop Greeters

Documentary Film: The Way We Get By. Showing at The Grand one week prior to it's New York debut!

Friday and Saturday, July 10 and 11, 7:30pm
Sunday, July 12, 2:00pm
Tickets: $7, $6 and $5

Made-in-Maine documentary of the individuals who greet American troops home at the Bangor International Airport. By award-winning film director, Aron Gaudet from Old Town, Maine.

Beginning as a seemingly idiosyncratic story about troop greeters — a group of senior citizens who gather daily at a small airport to thank American soldiers departing and returning from Iraq, the film quickly turns into a moving, unsettling and compassionate story about aging, loneliness, war and mortality. 84 minutes. Sponsored by Bangor Savings Bank and MPBN.

Art at the Riverside Cafe- July

Nan Ulett of the Sea Change Studio/Gallery in Town Hill is showing her fish in the Riverside Cafe's hallway during the month of July. She creates highly imaginative folk art fish from whatever's handy. ”Half the fun is finding the bits and pieces that can be combined into new creations,” she says. “It makes each piece different and each piece unique.”
