Flamingos, Fleas Sale is July 20
OTISFIELD — Our annual Flamingos and Fleas Sale to support the Scholarship Fund of the East Otisfield Free Baptist Church will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, July 20, at the Community Hall on Route 121.
The scholarship fund has nine students attending college this fall. The program has been in place long enough for a second generation of recipients to begin. Alyssa — daughter of the first scholarship recipient, Roberta (Rugg) Andrews — was salutatorian at Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School this year. Other recipients are Dorothy Dyer, Zane and Zebb Duffany, Nicole Donnellan and Chris Alberi, all of Otisfield, Frank Montana of Mechanic Falls, and Megan and Rachel Wandishin of Casco.
The scholarship fund was started by the Rev. Gertrude DeCoteau and Marian Culbert. Sales of Culbert’s needlepoint-covered brick doorstops for $5 each started the fund. The recipients are supported through each year they attend college full time.
The Flamingos and Fleas Sale this year will feature an outdoor tent with furniture. Lots of good-quality household goods, books, gardening items, tools, collectibles and a bake sale will be inside.
