RANGELEY — Rangeley Health and Wellness is making the most of summer with two spectacular July events for sizzling summer fun.

Play a great game of golf at the 16th annual Chodosh Memorial Golf Tournament on Thursday July 10th. This is a unique opportunity to participate in the philanthropic vision of Mel and Paul Chodosh, the tournament founders, who left their mark on the region by designating that proceeds from this annual event benefit children’s programing at Rangeley Health and Wellness (RHW). Join area business leaders, RHW supporters and the Chodosh family at Mingo Springs Golf Course in this fun filled day on the course. A Rangeley tradition of golf for a great cause.

Tee off is at 9am with a shotgun start. Four person teams will play eighteen holes in a scramble format with lots of opportunities for games and prizes along the way. The round will be followed by a post-tournament awards celebration featuring a barbeque lunch and select beverages. Enjoy the meticulous greens and beautiful views at Mingo Springs while providing area children with programs to stay active and engaged throughout the year.

Rock and roll icons Cheap Trick will electrify the mountains of Maine with an unforgettable outdoor performance on Sunday, July 27th at Rangeley Health and Wellness, 25 Dallas Hill Road, Rangeley. Prepare for high-energy & classic rock nostalgia with the breathtaking backdrop of Rangeley Lake. With hits like “I Want You to Want Me”, “Dream Police”, “The Flame”, and “Surrender,” this legendary band continues to inspire and entertain audiences with their signature blend of hard rock and power-pop sensibilities.

Led by Jeff Beam, Everybody Knows features an impressive line-up of legendary New England musicians including Rangeley’s own Nancy Bessey.
