Sunday, July 19 at 3:00pm, the Camden Opera House presents: Andre, The Seal Who Came Home. This is a free film! 

A documentary film from PBS - "The Seal Who Came Home" is the true story of Andre, a two-day-old wild harbor seal who, in 1961, was rescued from certain death by Harry Goodridge, an arborist from Rockport, Maine. Over the next 25 years, Andre and Harry established a friendship that brought Andre into the world of humans without Andre's ever having to sacrifice his wildness. The human world gave Andre shelter during the harsh New England winter, but staying wild at heart meant Andre had the know-how to make the 200-mile swim home to Rockport. This interspecies friendship weathered every kind of challenge, including, at the end, Andre's blindness. 

FREE admission, all welcome. Donations to the Community Arts Fund welcomed. Doors open at 2:30pm. The Camden Opera House has air-conditioning, also!
