If You Missed This Week’s Penobscot Valley Voice — Here’s What You Missed

🌲 If You Missed This Week’s Penobscot Valley Voice — Here’s What You Missed

There’s a certain spooky stillness over the Valley this week — that quiet between the last blaze of color and the first real frost. The pumpkins are out, the cider’s mellowed, and the evenings have turned officially blanket-worthy.

🎥 Local Highlights:

• Bangor’s Ghost Tours are in full swing — uncover the city’s haunted past on a candlelit walk through downtown.

• Bangor Symphony brings Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas to life this Sunday at the Collins Center.

• Brewer’s Annual 5K for Veterans Heating Oil returns, raising funds to keep local heroes warm this winter.

• American Red Cross Blood Drives continue all week on Hammond Street — every drop helps save lives.

🐾 Adoptable Pet of the Week:
Meet Zatter — a big-hearted, people-loving pup waiting for his forever home at the Bangor Humane Society.

🍂 In Case You Missed It:

• Bangor City Council acts to expand warming centers before winter.

• Downtown Charcuterie earns small-business honors for elevating local flavor.

• Maine Thrive’s Greater Bangor Business Directory helps residents discover and support Valley-owned businesses.

❤️ From Sandy:
As we head into the heart of autumn, it’s the small things that remind us what community really means — a warm meal shared, a race run for a cause, or a simple act of kindness that keeps a neighbor going.

Until next week — stay warm, stay kind, and stay connected.
