Twenty-foot-tall figures heralded the entrance to the band Phish’s IT Festival in 2003. The University of Maine at Presque Isle later acquired the figures, which now need restoration. A cabin master who’s a passionate Phish fan is thrilled by the opportunity.

Hallowell’s “Downtown-to-Woods Scavenger Hunt,” is to run from Saturday, July 31, to Sunday, Aug. 15.
The two-week event has been organized by Vision Hallowell, the Hallowell Conservation Commission and Kennebec Land Trust.
People can visit some of the many businesses that have opened recently or reconnect with old favorites downtown. Hallowell’s Vaughan Woods has been overcrowded recently, so the groups look to introduce the community to other outdoor Hallowell places, like “Little Egypt.”

FAYETTE The Kennebec Land Trust intends to buy and permanently conserve 120 acres of land in Fayette, hoping to complete the $250,000 purchase by the end of the year.
The land, according to the organization’s website, includes “a ridgeline just above Echo Lake and a mature hardwood-conifer woodland adjacent to Hales Brook.”
The property is currently owned by Jean Hewett and has been in the Hewett family for several generations. Ron Hewett, Jean’s son, said the family now has to sell the land.
