The Maine Forestry Museum (formerly The Rangeley Lakes Region Logging Museum) invites every girl and boy aged 6 to 8 to sign up for the Little Miss and Mister Wood Chip Contest to be held on July 16th at 6:30 pm at the Rangeley Inn, 2443 Main St., Rangeley, Maine. The Wood Chip program is part of the Museum’s Annual Logging Festival, July 16th and 17th.

Contestants may sing a song or recite a poem; they may choose a favorite or write their own. (Other performances, such as dancing or playing musical instruments, will not be accepted toward the competition). Every Wood Chip contestant receives a prize. Winners will ride in the Little Miss and Mister Wood Chip float in the Forestry Museum parade on Saturday, July 17th, and be introduced at the Festival immediately after the parade.

To enter children in the contest, please contact Liz Pimentel (917 836-1632).

As usual, we have some special additions to the evening’s events. The talented clogging group, Northern Explosion Dance Team will thrill the audience after the contest. Also on hand will be the fabulous Pulled Together Band playing bluegrass and folk tunes. Plus, we’ll have the induction of the first four women into the Loggers Hall of Fame. Come join the fun! Admission is FREE, but donations are greatly appreciated.

This event is partially funded by a generous grant from the Maine Expansion Arts Fund of the Maine Community Foundation.

The Maine Forestry Museum, located at 221 Stratton Road, opens Wednesday through Sunday from 10-4. For more information about the Museum and its events, call 207 864-3939 and visit the Museum facebook page and website: maineforestrymuseum.org
