Ghost tales for around the campfire
I wonder if anyone still tells ghost stories around the campfire? This used to be one of the rites of summertime; like toasting marshmallows and sleeping under the stars when it grew too hot and humid indoors. I remember as a kid how creepy things looked in the dark especially in the woods when trees and bushes seemed to take on weird shapes and the only sounds were the constant buzzing of strange insects, and the hooting of owls. Wiscasset and Woolwich being deep-rooted New England towns have their share of ghost stories. Toss a log on the fire and listen while I tell you two of my favorites.

Critter Chatter – A New Chapter
As noted in last month’s article, rehabber Don Cote at Duck Pond Wildlife Care Center was hospitalized for a week in late May. I’m relieved and happy to report that his recovery at home is going well and as we expected, it didn’t take long before he started taking calls about orphaned and injured critters. In fact, we recently purchased a new answering machine with a volume enhancer so he doesn’t miss any!
Bands for Books planning continues
The members of the Fundraising Committee of the Friends of the Wiscasset Public Library have been meeting since January planning their annual fundraising event, Bands for Books.
