Events
There's always something going on at Kora. You'll find that our major annual events will have their own web pages. In addition, you can also find all the smaller events listed in the Events Calendar. If there are ever any last minute cancellations due to weather or any other reason, you will find them listed here in the future.
Shrine Circus
This is the 56th year that Kora has sponsored the Shrine Circus. It is the major fundraiser for Kora’s operating budget. During the week of April school vacation, we will have 17 shows between Lewiston, Portland and Augusta. Volunteers are always needed and welcome. If you can’t volunteer your time during the week, ask how you may help in some other way. If you purchase your tickets and do not plan on attending please send them back to the Temple for distribution to families in need.
Lobster Bowl
The 20th annual Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl Classic will be held in July 2009 at Waterhouse Field in Biddeford Maine. This Senior High School all-star football game is the only Kora sponsored hospital fundraiser where 100% of the net proceeds from the game goes to support Shriners Hospitals for Children. This East vs West game brings student athletes from every football school in Maine together to produce this elite event. Players, cheerleaders and coaches commit to a week long training camp where friends are made and through exposure to Shrine patients, understand the true meaning of the game.
Kora Car Show & Fly In
On July 11 & 12, 2009 we will host the 5th annual Fly In and Car Show. This will be located at Twitchel’s Air Field on Route 4 in Turner Maine. With a wide range of classes this event has quickly become one of the top shows in Maine. Come out to spend the day with over 300 vehicles, planes and lots of food. The proceeds from this event help supplement the Kora operating budget.
Kora FEZtival of Trees
The 3rd Annual Feztival of Trees is another Kora operating budget fundraiser. This years event will run from November 22-25 & 28 & 29. We are planning to have in excess of 50 display trees, a craft fair, a silent auction and of coarse the kitchen will be open. The general public is invited in to see our beautiful building and help us kick off the holiday season. Watch for the upcoming details as word has leaked from the North Pole that Santa will be present to have pictures with the kids.
