DRESDEN$The second annual Summerfest is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday.
Festivities will be held, rain or shine, at the historic Pownalborough Court House on Route 128.
There will be games for children and adults, including an egg toss, a hay scramble, a bean bag toss, and live animals, including an educational presentation on owls.
There will be bus tours of Dresden's historic parts, including a trip up Blinn Hill, which offers panoramic views of much of mid-Maine. There also will be pontoon boat rides along the Kennebec River.
Tours include the Pownalborough Court House, which was built in 1761.
Frank Ferrel of Bath, whom the Boston Globe's music critic has described as, "One of the finest living masters of the fiddle," will offer traditional pieces throughout Summerfest.
Ferrel, who has appeared on National Public Radio's Prairie Home Companion, was selected by the Library of Congress in their Select List of 25 Recordings of American Folk Music.
