Tourists who’ve posed with and photographed Rumford’s Paul Bunyan statue at the Information Center in Boivin Park can now find his companion, Babe the Blue Ox, there as well. Hoping to attract tourists into the downtown business area, selectmen in 2009 voted to take $6,500 from the town’s economic development fund and have Babe created and placed in the Rite-Aid Pharmacy lot. A trail of blue ox tracks was later painted from Bunyan to Babe for children and families to follow. Earlier this month, Babe moved in beside Bunyan.
Usually awash in water from the Androscoggin River during spring, only a trickle falls over the rocks of Pennacook Falls on Wednesday in Rumford behind the Information Center on Route 2.
