    The Wiscasset Art Walk tonight features something really unique: percussion instruments strewn throughout the sidewalks so that attendees can bang on the drums all day. Jim Doble of Union is bringing materials to build an amandinda, a xylophone-like instrument played in southern Uganda. The Art Walk goes from 5 to 8 p.m. Free to the public. FMI: Art Walk
