As a part of Richmond Days, Kevin Dauphinee and his wife, Katie Dauphinee, flew people around Merrymeeting Bay in their yellow seven-passenger seaplane. Richmond Days is an annual two-day event in town that features a parade, games, music and special activities, like the seaplane. A boat service was supposed to run during Richmond Days to bring people to a guided tour of the island, but the Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife closed the Swan Island pier that would have been used to drop people off at the island.
