THE FRAME FOR A COMMUNITY BANDSTAND at Mitchell Field in Harpswell takes shape Tuesday. A fundraiser for the project will take place on Aug. 5.
The event, hosted by Walter and Helen Norton at 126 Skassen Lane, will feature music from the Moose Mountain Jazz Band and food and refreshments from Thymes Two.

Fundraising to build an octagonal bandstand at the town-owned property has been under way for four years. When completed, the bandstand will host concerts, art exhibits and other community events when completed.
People also can purchase commemorative bricks that will form the walkways around the structure. Engraving, artwork requirements and donation details for the bricks can be viewed at harpswellbandstand. org.
