David Dowley of Roque Bluffs will receive the Norman W.

The award’s namesake, Norman W. Duzen, was a dedicated civic and religious leader for over fifty years and had a great love for the people of Down East Maine.<\/p>\n

Jen Plaut will receive the University of Maine Volunteer Pen Award for her contributions to the 4-H program. Plaut co-leads the Cobscook Current 4-H Club in Edmunds that focuses on public speaking, LEGO robotics, and photography.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Youth will enjoy a goat petting zoo and a 4-H science activity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
