I've posted a more complete answer on the "Eastport_Maine" discussion group on Yahoo, but Tom McLaughlin, WQDY-WALZ Radio News Director, wrote on their website (on Thursday,
June 14, 2001) -- and it's still on the web:

> "This Saturday and Sunday, June 16 and 17 (2001) in Eastport, Maine, there'll be plenty to see and do during the Lupine Festival of the Arts. Organizer Rick Angel told Classic Hits that exhibitors of fine arts, folk arts, native arts, photography, and pottery will be on hand, and there are several music groups performing. Some include Passamaquoddy drummers; Celtic Schmeltic; Greg Biss, Lynn Brubaker and Alice St. Clair; the Machias Town Band; the Cooper Hill Band; Melissa Cushing and others. Tours and various demonstrations are planned for both days. Events run from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. For those interested in architecture, Eastport's downtown is a historic district with 29 buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Angel said that events will move indoors should the weather not cooperate. For more information, contact Rick or Ellen Angel at..."

So that should give you an idea of past activities.

Also, the "Eastport, Maine Area Information Directory" on the web notes on:

So, there is a gardening tip!
