On the Cover The Chebeague Island Whalers will be performing their annual Holiday show on December 7th at 7pm at the Hall. This year’s performance is entitled “Carols Present & Past” and is being directed by Ben Yosua-Davis. Arrive early because this popular show fills up fast! There will be cider and treats served up, plus a generous helping of Community Love. Come enjoy the sounds of the season with all your neighbors, friends and family! Tickets are $8 for adults and $4 for children under 12. About the Calendar The Calendar is published monthly by the Chebeague Island Council.
