The Jessica Prouty Band, of Marblehead, Massachusetts will perform live during Scarborough Downs’ 7th annual Family Fun Day on Sunday, August 7th. Post time: 1:05 pm. The band, which won 2nd Place at SchoolJam USA, the battle for the best teen band in Downtown Disney, Anaheim, CA, will perform a wide range of covers and original music during the afternoon’s festivities.

For the 7th year in a row, Scarborough Downs has hosted Family Fun Day as a day of “Harness Racing Education and Fun,” and features activities suitable for the whole family with a unique focus on the Standardbred racehorse.

“It’s very important to us to educate the public on all facets of the wonderful sport of harness racing, including its enormous impact on Maine agriculture,” said Scarborough Downs president, Sharon Terry. “This day is about that education, from how a horse gets its shoes to what it eats before the big race. And people can get up close and personal to the animals and really learn about the industry while having fun!”

Doors open at 12 noon with the activities taking place in the Grandstand building. Highlights include a mare and foal from a local farm for the kids to pet, a horseshoeing demonstration, a harnessing demonstration, a mini horse, games, contests, giveaways, and much more. Children 12 and under will receive a free hot dog (while supplies last; 1 per customer).

Admission is free and the event is open to all ages. Post Time is at 1:05 pm.
