DEAR SUN SPOTS: I really enjoy and appreciate all the information you share with our community. I was hoping that you might post that Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Lisbon will be having their Christmas Fair on November 19. There will be tables for folks who are interested in selling their Christmas crafts. Additionally, there will be food for purchase, raffles and lots of fun for all. If anyone is interested in donating items, food or their time, or who needs more information, please contact Sylvia at (207) 783-6913.
DEAR SUN SPOTS: Saturday, I found a dental bridge in the Dollar Tree parking lot at the space closest to the store. I gave it to Roger in the Dollar Tree and said I would notify you as everyone reads your column. Sure hope the owner reads this, as I know dental things are expensive. — No Name, Turner.
