Downeast Speaks October 2022

 

Seven storytellers from seven towns bravely answer the question that many hesitate to ask but are ever-curious to know: “what is your biggest secret?” We all know that living in a small community means keeping some things under wraps, but watch our group of storytellers bare it all for this performance of surprising revelations, warmth, and humor!

Sarah Pebworth has worked at the Left Bank Café, Penobscot Bay Press (Island Ad-Vantages and the Weekly Packet), Down East Aids Network, Deer Isle-Stonington High School, Goose Cove Lodge (when the Parisis owned it), Blue Hill Inn (which she owned from 2007-2015), Aragosta (in Stonington), Deep Water, State of Maine (as a state legislator), and Aragosta at Goose Cove. She has served on the boards of the Blue Hill Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and Blue Hill Public Library. She serves on the Word—Blue Hill Literary Arts Festival steering committee (visit wordfestival.org for 2022’s schedule!), the advisory board of Lawrence Family Fitness Center YMCA, and the Colloquy Downeast board. 

She has lived in Sunset, Sargentville, and Blue Hill. She and Julie Jo Fehrle (born in Tulsa but moved to Maine in 1969), a pétanque enthusiast, were married 1/1/21. 

All this is to say: she’s from away.
