DEAR SUN SPOTS: The 2019 Moxie Festival the weekend of July 12 will be here before we know it! The Moxie Goes Artsy committee members are very excited to have Sylvain Leduc, an internationally acclaimed Elvis tribute artist, performing during Friday night’s block party. He’s fantastic! Find out more about him here: http://sylvainleducelvis.com/en/.
To add to the performance’s wow factor, committee members would love to borrow Elvis memorabilia such as velvet Elvis art, tapestries, rugs, etc. from the community. Come on, Hound Dogs, let’s get all shook up!
For more information, please email jbaumer@lisbonme.org or call me at 353-2616 to make arrangements!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Time again for the Sumner Volunteer Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary’s annual yard/bake sale. The event will take place from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 1 at the Sumner Fire Department on Main Street.
We’re looking for donations and gently used furniture will be accepted. We cannot accept CRT monitors or CRT TVs.
Baked goods made by Auxiliary members will be for sale, and I can say, we have some excellent bakers on hand! Steamed hot dogs, coffee and cold beverages will also be available for purchase.
Baskets with various themes will be raffled. All proceeds will benefit the Sumner Volunteer Fire Department. Come on out and take a look, have some snacks, purchase raffle tickets and enjoy the day.
We also need helpers willing to take away the leftover yard sale items, free of charge. Contact Gail at 674-5522 or Charlotte at 577-4271 if you need more information regarding donations or are willing to take leftovers away after the sale.
