RANGELEY The Maine Forestry Museum has received a $3,000 grant from the Maine Expansion Arts Fund of the Maine Community Foundation to help sponsor the Little Miss and Mister Woodchip Contest and events associated with the museum’s annual Logging Festival Days.
“This grant will help continue the 35-year tradition of providing children the opportunity to perform the recitation of poems or singing before a local audience,” said Mark Beauregard, president. “The winners will be featured in the annual Logging Festival Parade the following day. The contest has allowed children to expand their skills and develop confidence in spoken word and song.”
