Virtual Events That Happened in 2020
That Still May Be Available
Sponsored by:
The Carriage House Bistro & Tavern
at Province Lake Golf Course,
Still Open Even Though It Is Winter!
COVID-19 Pandemic Strangeness:
OK! This page is even stranger than when it was the normal events page during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic! Since many of these virtual events may still be available, it makes sense to keep them posted somewhere, but not worth a lot of my time to check and manage them. Therefore, some past events are still listed as future events. If anything listed interests you, you can explore the links and see if you can find anything worth finding. Have fun and good luck!
Our Events page sponsor, The Carriage House Bistro & Tavern,
is located at 18 Mountain Road,
at the corner of Rt. 153 at Province Lake Golf Course in Parsonsfield, Maine.
Dine indoors or outdoors (Hah!), or order take-out. Reach them at (207) 793-9612 and on .
Their sponsorship helps to defray some of the cash cost of this web site. Please let them know you appreciate their support!
