The Dessert Bazaar: Fun and funds for the Museum

KENNEBUNK, Maine – The Brick Store Museum is hosting a turn-of-the-century Dessert Bazaar on Saturday, June 25, from 1 to 3 p.m. The event is planned to celebrate community connections with live music, a hat contest, a new exhibition and book signing, raffles, and games while raising much-needed funds for the Museum.

The Museum has spent 86 years in its existence preserving local histories, art and cultures of Kennebunk and its surrounding communities. With over 50,000 artifacts to illustrate human experiences through research, exhibitions, free programs for local schools, and public engagement; plus more than 20 major events offered each year in addition to a rotating slate of exhibitions and an award-winning educational website; the Museum fundraises 100% of its annual operating budget in order to serve its communities.

Join the Museum to enjoy delicious desserts in our bake sale, all donated by local restaurants such as Congdons, Bandaloop, Village Tavern and local residents baking up a storm to help the Museum! Additionally, visitors can tour the brand-new “What A Relief: The Art of Salley Mavor” exhibition and meet Salley Mavor. The artist will sign her recent children’s books, including “My Bed: Enchanting Ways to Fall Asleep Around the World.” Live Acadian music will be performed and a Hat Contest invites visitors to wear their best to enter to win!

Attendee tickets (10-plus) start at $10 each and includes Museum event admission and two bake sale tickets. Supporter tickets are $25 (museum admission, two bake sale tickets, commemorative museum pin, $15 donation to museum*). Additional bake sale/raffle tickets will be sold on site. www.brickstoremuseum.org.
