There are alewives and…..it’s a big Support the Fish Ladder weekend!

May 26  Several days ago I mentioned that it has been a strange spring for alewives. We’ve had alewives every day but it’s their abundance each day that’s changed. When we’ve had a cold night, there are typically fewer alewives the next morning. And so it has gone. The nail biter at the moment — when it warms up this weekend, will all the fish that haven’t shown up yet come rushing in? Be sure to stop by and find out the answer!
And, while we won’t have a festival this weekend, there’s lots going on! The 5K Run with the Alewives road race starts of at 9am. On Sunday, the not-to-be-missed Adam Ezra Group concert will held at 4pm at the Lincoln Theater in Damariscotta. There are still a few tickets left! Finally, Fish Ladder goods and gear will be on sale on Saturday and Sunday….and, they’ll also be selling ice cream cones with Alewife Fisheye Pudding Ice Cream!
