STRATTON — The Dead River Area Historical Society will sponsor a Walk-A-Thon at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 17. Starting lineup will be at the Stratton Elementary School parking lot going along School Street and turning around at the site of the old dump two miles away and returning to the school parking lot.

This will be a fun and fit activity for all ages from kindergartners through senior citizens. Drinks and snacks will be provided at each mile marker along the way.

The May 10 Walk-A-Thon was called off because of rain.

This year the goal is to tar the museum driveway. A Driveway Account will be started from the walk proceeds at the Skowhegan Savings Bank.

Pledge sheets can be picked up at Pine’s Market, Northland Cash, Fotter’s Market and Flagstaff Fuel and they need to be turned in at the Walk-A-Thon on May 17.

For the safety of smaller participants, we ask no running or jogging, only walking.

For more information call Mary Henderson 207-246-2271.
