The community is invited to a free community Tea Party on Sunday, April 26, from 1 to 4 p.m., at the Belfast Boat House. Homemade scones and freshly brewed tea will be provided at no cost.

At the same time and location, the annual organic seedling sale will take place, featuring large quantities of various seedlings generously donated by Village Side Farm in Freedom, all proceeds going to support the Hospice Volunteers of Waldo County.

"This is a great opportunity to get a head start on the spring garden while supporting important community services," said Hospice Volunteers of Waldo County, in a news release. 

In addition to the tea party, there will be an on-site bake sale featuring an assortment of homemade treats, as well as a raffle for a locally handcrafted quilt for our fundraiser.

The drawing for the quilt will take place at the conclusion of the Tea Party on Sunday, April 26, at 4 p.m. Each ticket is a $5 donation with all proceeds going to the Hospice Volunteers of Waldo County. Tickets are currently available at Vinolio’s tasting room at 74 Main Street. Tickets will also be available during the event on April 26.

"This annual community gathering is proudly sponsored by local businesses that believe in bringing people together for a good cause," said the news release. "All proceeds from the bake sale and seedling sale will directly benefit the Hospice Volunteers of Waldo County, supporting their invaluable work in the community."
