Chamber of Commerce awarded funds to support tourism
Kennebec Valley Tourism Council (KVTC) has awarded sponsorship support funds in the amount of $1,662.50 to Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce for the Taste of Waterville to assist in the growth of tourism in Maine’s Kennebec Valley and produce a positive economic impact on the region.
Mid-Maine Chamber was one of 12 sponsorship recipients awarded as part of the 2021 KVTC marketing partnership program. In total, the 2021 KVTC sponsorship support application requests reached nearly $29,100. The organization was unable to fully fund all regional sponsorship requests to its members this year. However, with the help of Brookfield Renewable U.S., KVTC was able to fund $19,351.50. KVTC is excited to award sponsorships to local organizations who are helping KVTC promote the Kennebec Valley region as a destination place with their own marketing initiatives.

National Wreaths Across America Day LIVE Virtual Event at 12PM on Facebook It was a blow, Gold Star Mother Lorna Harris said. But I just kinda knew that we have our miracle, you know?
Harris and her husband Scott are going on their tenth WAA trip, in honor of their son. Dustin Harris, an Army Specialist, was killed in Iraq in 2006. It brought us together with something that we could share to remember Dustin and carry on his memory, Scott Harris said.
He usually drives one of the trucks filled with wreaths, but this year, only one truck will be part of the convoy as others go down in advance.
