This weekend, the Acadia Council on Aging will host its much-anticipated Second Annual Senior Recognition Banquet.

The evening will begin with a “Mix and Mingle” period from 5 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., after which dinner and the program will follow immediately.
This year’s theme is “Diamonds and Pearls,” and those being honored for their positive and lasting impacts are:
