The Red Claws organization has a simple hope when it comes to their role in the community: to use the power and magic of basketball and the Maine Red Claws – its people, team, properties and events – to help better the community in which we live. As they enter their first season as Maine's newest professional sports team, they aim to be active and involved with the state of Maine and the many organizations that work hard every day to make this such a great place to live. This is where the community of York comes in: We hope to have organizations from our booster clubs, our music clubs and our sports programs be a part of this night. Some examples of how you can be involved are: By having your group or organization sell 25 tickets, you or the group will have the opportunity to sing the National Anthem on the Court at the January 15th game. By having your group or organization sell 50 tickets they can form a fan tunnel for the players to run through as they are introduced before the January 15th game.

Story Walk™ has taken off and is sweeping Vermont, New Hampshire and now York. We are excited to be continuing this self-guided fitness element in our recreation line-up. The Story Walk™ program combines the benefits of physical activity, time outdoors in nature, literacy and family time by taking children’s books and posting them, in pieces, along a recreational path or hiking trail. What better place for a Story Walk™ than the scenic vistas, rich forests and secluded trails of Mount Agamenticus? Join us throughout the fall as we present In A Nutshell by Joseph Anthony along the Ring trail. Be sure to look for the sign letting you know that your Story Walk™ is about to begin and follow the story as it guides you to the summit of Mt. A. Please be sure to let us know about your experience in our visitor journal at the end of your hike. Enjoy! The Ring Trail is a family friendly hiking trail. You should plan to wear comfortable shoes/sneakers with support. Flip flops and crocs might not be the best choice here. START LOCATION: Base of Mt. Agamenticus ENDS: Summit of Mt.
