Stay Playful Newsletter - Play More T-Shirt Fundraiser
The Play More T-shirts worn by their respective designers!
Hello Friends of Bath at Play,
We want to thank all of the families who came out on July 5th for our second annual Heritage Games. We estimate that we had well over 200 people in attendance between competitors and spectators. The Bath at Play mission is certainly to create more playgrounds and structures for our community, but we think our event on the 5th is equally valuable for our City. The purpose of the community playground is to bring all the people in our town together, have fun, and build connections. Our Heritage games was really just a pop-up playground, powered by all the fun and excitement of Heritage days. We had grandparents doing the balloon toss with grandchildren, four-year-olds bunny hopping to the finish line in coffee sacks, and cousins, friends, and siblings finding a rhythm for the three-legged race. Of course, we also incorporated the uniquely Maine treat of whoopie pies into our ‘no hands’ whoopie pie eating contest. That event really captured the inter-generational fun and silliness we are trying to promote in our City. Find pictures from this year’s event on our social media and on our website www.bathatplay.org/heritage-games.
If you were not able to join us for the festivities, we have exciting news to share: Bath at Play T-shirts! Pictured above are the two designs worn by their respective designers. We are extending our sale to our supporters with orders taken on our website. These high quality tees are printed locally in Wiscasset by High Tide Printing Company. Check them out, they do amazing work! Prices are $20 for adult sizing and $15 for youth sizing both coming in XS-XL ranges. All proceeds go to supporting our mission to expand play in Maine!

Our Heritage Games 2024 Sponsors
We want to thank our Heritage Games Sponsors for 2024. Without their new and renewed support, these games wouldn’t be possible.
