The Rotary Club would also like to extend thanks to all of the vendors, local business, and community members who helped to make the event a success. Interested in joining? Rotary meets every Thursday at  Michael's Fine Food at 6:30 pm.  Please contact any member for details.

Speaking of history, the Waterville Historical Society can now be found on Instagram @watervillehistoricalsociety. John G. Brouillette will be managing the page, which will be dedicated to documenting the history of Waterville in before-and-after photographs, newspaper clipping, and many other formats to showcase the rich history of our small town.
  

"This photograph of Main Street facing west was taken about 1880. In addition to the advent of color photography, Main Street in 2019 features traffic lights, paved roads, and sidewalks. Waterville has come a long way since the 1880s, but many of the buildings pictured, as well as many other buildings in the village, still stand."
