Following intermission our Featured performer Willey Phinedit will begin.

Suggested donation is $5.00 or more for the featured teller part of the program.

 


Willey Phinedit (Will E Find-it) is a Tall Taleoligist and UnRegistered Maine Guide. His tales are filled with the Down East humor traditions of old, blending folk with original tales of fantasy as dry as your morning toast and as fresh as your next cup of coffee! He will sound similar to the Maine stereotypical Down-East humorist.
(I say similar because he is not your granddad’s Bert or I)
Willey will share a story about the blizzard of 78, a mischievous boy on New Years Eve, the truth about Maine Natives, and a little about Yankee Engine New Witty!

“Willey - you are too funny. In the vein of Bert and I, you have struck gold!
The puns are good, the acting better."
Norah Dooley
Storyteller, author, and techno-artistic mentor to the masses
