Tim Sample and MDIFW Day– A special combo on Saturday, June 19th!

Widely acknowledged to be New England’s premier native humorist, Tim Sample’s books, albums, and videos (including four albums and a video for the Bert and I company) have sold well over a million copies. Over the years, Tim has performed thousands of shows in venues as diverse as the Los Angeles Convention Center, the Mall of America, the New York Yacht Club & the Caribou Performing Arts Center.

Tim Samples’ show times at the Wildlife Park today will include two 50 minute performances between 10:30am-12:30pm. This family show is locally sponsored by several area businesses and organizations, including the Gems of Route 26, Cole Farms Restaurant and Friends of Maine Wildlife Park. The wildlife park is extremely grateful for their support!

In addition, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife’s programs, projects and personnel will be showcased from 9:30am-3:30pm today. The Department is charged to preserve and protect the fish and wildlife of the state, for everyone to enjoy. Hunting and fishing are a part of Maine’s outdoor heritage; but more and more Maine citizens are as or more interested in watching, feeding and photographing the wildlife that call Maine home.

Whether you are watching a bald eagle soar, photographing a moose; enjoying loons and other waterfowl; or catch a glimpse of a bobcat; watching wildlife is popular with hikers, kayakers, bicyclists, picnickers, state park visitors, back yard bird feeders and those just out enjoying the woods and waters of the state.

These folks, who do not directly financially contribute to our wildlife and habitat preservation programs, need to know more about what the Department does, to ensure their enjoyment of Maine’s abundant wildlife both for now and into the future.

Wildlife and fisheries biologists, safety officers, hatchery staff and game wardens will be on hand and in person, to talk about their fishery, wildlife, safety and enforcement programs and projects throughout the day. Come and learn what we do, and how we support the habitats and populations of all of Maine’s wildlife…..making Maine a better place for people, too!

All of today’s events are scheduled to proceed rain or shine.
