May 10, 11, 2024

Enjoy an adventure set on a modern-day Greek island with Sole City Dance’s newest production, The Moon-Spinners Mystery. The ballet follows Nikki, a young detective grieving the loss of her mother.

All these lives weave in and out of each other in a story replete with love, loyalty, grief, and joy. Behind the scenes, another group of characters is continually weaving - the three ancient fates, the moon-spinners, with their power to cut the cord of life.

Project Appleseed

Project Appleseed is a special program for homeschoolers that will teach the rifle marksmanship skills once commonly practiced in America. During the program, you’ll learn the true story of the earliest days of our nation, including the detailed events of April 19, 1775.


Information on the event can be found here. The event will be held at Monmouth Fish and Game, on June 29th. It is a one day program. The program begins at 8am and it will go till between 4 and 5. Any weather short of lightning would be a go as we have covered firing points and a club house. We have put a capacity of 20 registered participants. If a parent is there as a chaperone only they do not count towards a participant. However, if a parent wants to participate they need to register separately. For safety purposes all who are at or near the firing line are required to have eye and ear protection while firing is in progress. Safety is always first and foremost in every event. We don't put minimum or maximum age requirements on our events. We have an expectation that parents know their students abilities to be able to take and follow direction, and be physically able to maintain a safe working environment on the range.


Monmouth Fish and Game is located at 347 US Route 202, in Monmouth, Maine.
