OQUOSSOC — The Rangeley Lakes Region Historical Society’s Outdoor Sporting Heritage Museum will offer two special events in conjunction with Oquossoc Day on Saturday, Aug. 20.
Peter Mehegan, former co-anchor of Boston’s WCVB-TV Chronicle news magazine, will be the featured docent at the museum from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mehegan’s best-known Chronicle feature was On the Road Again, traveling the back roads of Maine in his restored 1969 Chevrolet Impala for nearly two decades. His specialty was profiling colorful rural personalities, New England folks rarely seen on television — lobstermen, loggers, farmers, “anyone with a story to tell,” Mehegan often said. He produced upwards of 75 half-hour programs in Maine, traveling to every county in the state.
Adults and children 12 and older will have an opportunity to experience the Rangeley Region Guides’ & Sportsmen’s Laser Shot program. This computer-based program offers the chance to test skills in a variety of simulated shooting situations. There is also a safety, shoot/don’t shoot segment and other educational programs.
