Senator Susan Collins announced today that a U.S. Coast Guard has agreed to her request that a ship pay a port visit to Belfast during the annual Maine Celtic Celebration to be held between July 17th and 22nd, 2007.
“I am thrilled that the Coast Guard will once again honor our great state of Maine with this port visit during Maine’s Celtic Celebration,” Senator Collins said. “This visit will afford those who serve the U.S. Coast Guard, and the citizens they protect, an opportunity to come together during these wonderful summer festivities. I am time and again moved by this proud American tradition, and I thank the U.S. Coast Guard for making this visit possible.”
The Maine Celtic Celebration honors and celebrates the rich Celtic heritage of Maine. This year’s events include Celtic dinners, dancing, storytelling, and games.
