It's camp season

Kait's the very best bubble blower in the world! She can make huge bubbles out of soup with her bare hands. One li'l camper is in awe.

Pine Tree Networks Serves communities through volunteerism

Pine Tree Networks takes its community service seriously. All the towns in its service area have a fleet of volunteers who work for a day on projects in each town. In New Gloucester, volunteers were at the fairgrounds and Fairgrounds Committee Chair Cliff Andrews was thrilled.

On the docket was putting together picnic tables, finishing the beach volleyball court, mulching the new trail installed last week by the Youth Conservation Corps, and planting the tuck bed of daffodils donated by Pine tree Garden Seeds. "They will look pretty in the fall agains the entrance fence," said Andrews.

There is a seasonal skating rink, and Andrews said that the Committee likes turn the rink into the volleyball court as quickly as possible, but with this spring's rains, I has been slower than they hoped. On Tuesday, the volunteers from Pine Tree Networks were to install the nets, boundary lines, and rake the sand. When they were done, the court would offer beach volleyball playing, Andrews said.

Volunteers from left to right are Dennis Nightingale, Laurie Stitson, Scott Harlow, and Sandy Hartwell.
