Twenty years ago National Geographic called us "The worm capital of the world." We are looking to start a yearly Wiscasset Wormfest to celebrate this unique heritage, our community, and what it means to be from this beautiful Midcoast town.

Wormfest is in its begining stages and we are hoping to make it as unique as our little village. Our first year we are looking at: locally built carnival games that are free for families to play, live FREE entertainment starting at noon and ending at 8:00 pm, vendors-local businesses and non-profits booths, food trucks, a family relay race, a worming industry museum in the streets, an all-ages pie eating contest, and more! We want this to be accessable to all families, so this will be low-or-no-cost to families. This includes free meals for kids 18 and under. That's where donors like you will help us obtain these goals!

Our hopes for the future will include scholarships to those students graduating from WMHS with the most community service hours. Our committee believes volunteering and helping build a stronger community is something important as adults, but is just as important for our youth to value and to contribute in. This scholarship will NOT be based on needing to go to a post-secondary school. This scholarship is for our future recipient(s) to put towards continued learning, tools for the trade they are going into or whatever else they may need for a leg-up in their next chapter in life.
