Take a good watch of the Senior Project Emma Carter put together on the

Types of Litter found in the Wetlands surrounding the Waterville Area.

Emma is senior at a boarding school in Maine, pursuing ballet, and found herself home this spring due to COVID-19. Her video, along with recent local clean ups, are a great reminder to care for where we live!

The Waterville Area Birthday Train is chugging through the last week of formal Birthday Trains after almost 3 months of celebrating local birthdays!

Memorial Day was certainly different, but not unacknowledged. Homes and Villages were decorated, and while streets were quiet, there were small tributes happening.

The Barton Hose Company performed a memorial ceremony in Deansboro, photos below. While others participated in #tapsacrossamerica as trumpet players performed Taps in honor of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

The Waterville Historical Society included this postcard from around 1905-1915 along with the comparison shot below. See Friday's post for more history on the Soldiers and Sailors Monument

With plenty of sunshine and only a couple small pop up storms, temperatures have climbed into the start of the week, reaching into the 90s, to make it truly feel like the unofficial start of summer.

Along with the summer weather popping up, vegetable gardens are growing and it's not too late to get planting. Tomatoes, kale, peppers, spinach, and lettuce can be found at Gallagher's stand on Route 20.

A Reminder of the Produce and Mask Give-Away tomorrow, and to get your WCSD Budget Vote mailed in!
