The Blue Hill Public Library and H.O.M.E. Co-op invite everyone to join in spooky shenanigans at a special fundraiser concert and dance by Hancock County’s premiere country western girl band, the Damn, Girls! on Friday, October 30, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Blue Hill Public Library. The Damn, Girls! are Amy Grant, Sally Mills, Kim Parrott, and Lori Sitzabee. They will be backed up by the excellent Hella Band, and a brass horn duet. This family friendly event is made possible by Camden National Bank and Downeast Graphics & Printing, with beverages generously provided by Fogtown Brewing.

This year’s theme is the “Monster Mash” so we encourage everyone to get into the spirit of things and come in costume. The band particularly welcomes Dolly Parton-inspired looks and impersonators in honor of the late singer. And like previous years there will be a Halloween-themed photo booth set up for everyone to take memorable pictures.

Advance tickets for this event are available on www.eventbrite.com and at the library. There are two tiers of tickets: regular and benefactor. Regular tickets are $20 per person or $50 per household, while Benefactor tickets, which get you a photo op with the Damn, Girls!, are $50 per person or $100 per household. Tickets purchased on the day of the event will be $5 more. All proceeds benefit H.O.M.E Co-op and the Blue Hill Public Library.

In advance of last year’s concert, a number of people paid it forward and bought tickets on behalf of those who might wish to attend the event but for whom the ticket cost is a barrier. We welcome folks paying it forward again this year.

There will be a selection of Fogtown beer, non-alcoholic drinks, and sweet and savory snacks. The Black Sheep food truck will also be on site with a selection of comforting and savory meals to choose from. Doors will open at 6:45 p.m. For more information call the library at 374-5515.
