VASSALBORO — Donald Breton put together a daily reminder as the town of Vassalboro recognizes its sestercentennial, the 250th anniversary of the town’s incorporation.
Breton, 58, compiled a wall calendar with copies of 47 different old Vassalboro postcards where the pictures normally go. The dates show a corresponding event on that day during a different year throughout the United States.
