DEAR SUN SPOTS: Each year, our beloved Moxie Festival brings in tens of thousands of people from around the world. There is a group of extremely dedicated volunteers who spend much of the year prepping to ensure the festival is a success. However, we always welcome anyone who would like to join us in the planning process, as well as to volunteers who can help out on Friday and Saturday, July 13-14. Time commitment can be as little as an hour or as much as you can give. If you able to volunteer, please email Jonathan Jones at notjustanotherjones5@gmail.com.
The Moxie Festival would also like to add additional children’s activities to our MTM Center on Saturday, July 14. Those interested may email: coordinator@moxiefestival.com.
Vendor forms are available at: http://moxiefestival.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/2018MoxieFestivalVendorApplication-docx-1.pdf.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: W.G. Mallett School PTA will sponsor a Yard Sale/Flea Market on May 5 from 8 a.m. to noon. We welcome school groups, clubs or individuals to join us. It’s a great fundraising opportunity. The PTA will do all the advertising. If it rains, we will set up inside. You can reserve a space for $15 each, but will need to provide your own tables. If you don’t want a space, but would like to donate gently-used items, please call Mallett School at 207-778-3529 to make arrangements to drop your items off.
For more information, call Katie Hallman or Morgan Leso at the Mallett School. Thank you!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I found another place to play bingo in the Lewiston-Auburn area. It’s at John F. Murphy Homes’ The Shop, 1512 Minot Ave. in Auburn. They play bingo at 6 p.m. Thursdays. It costs $2. Hope this helps the person who wanted to find another place to play bingo.
