     The final band, Gristlestick from Farmington, will perform from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
     The day of activities is a testament to the initiative of two Unity College students, Chris McGrath and Justin Blouin. 
     “We wanted to organize a day that would bring not only the Unity College community together, but welcome the greater Unity community to our campus for a day of education and fun,” noted McGrath.   
     Unity College is a small private college in rural Maine that provides dedicated, engaged students with a liberal arts education which emphasizes the environment and natural resources.  Unity College graduates are prepared to be environmental stewards, effective leaders, and responsible citizens through active learning experiences within a supportive community.
