WABI Covers UMaine Museum of Art’s Drop and Shop Event
WABI (Channel 5) reported on the University of Maine Museum of Art’s Drop and Shop event held in downtown Bangor on Small Business Saturday. Parents dropped off their children while they shopped downtown to support local businesses. Children explored the galleries and created holiday ornaments, cards and gifts. “We felt it was really important to say, ‘Hey, this is our downtown; come down, enjoy it, let your kids see what there is to do here and support those local businesses who are our neighbors and our community members,’” said Eva Wagner, UMMA education coordinator.
