Owls Head welcomes residents and their guests. for a bridge social each Tuesday from 1 pm - 4 pm in the Conference Room at the Town Office.  Players of all ages and abilities are encouraged to attend with caution only that conviviality displaces the critical competitiveness of a stricter contract version of the game.  Here is serious fun with every student and teacher in what has become an informal and successful institution founded primarily to promote friendship.  Regular gatherings take place year-round unless the use of the space is preempted by notice of official business.

Owls Head Planning Board & Airport Committee meetings are now available on YouTube.  Feel free to call the office if you have any questions. (207)594-7434
