### 4th of July Community Picnic

### 07/04

In the 1850s, Dr. Moses Mason began hosting a Fourth of July community picnic in "the grove" behind his residence. Today, the Bethel Historical Society proudly carries on this tradition.

This year's event will start at noon on the lawn beside the Mason house, and after the presentation of colors and the National Anthem, a two-hour concert will be presented by the Portland Brass Quintet.

In case of rain, the picnic and concert will be held in the historic Middle Intervale Meetinghouse (1816) on Intervale Road, approximately four miles down river from Bethel Hill village. Bring your lunch and a lawn chair or blanket. Free and open to the public (donations accepted).

### The Hunger Mountain Boys with The Wiyos

### 07/07

This double dose of traditional music may be resolutely old-school but it is also resolutely eclectic. With their ears tuned to music from the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s, the Massachusetts bluegrass band, The Hunger Mountain Boys, serve up a hard-hittin’, high energy sound that pays homage to the soulfulness and sincerity of old-time country while subtly incorporating rock, jazz and ska influences. The opening set by Brooklyn based “the WIYOS” can only be called Vaudevillian Ragtime-Blues and HillBilly Swing.
