Yard Sale

FARMINGTON FALLS — It is with deep regret that the Farmington Falls Fire Company, Inc. finds it necessary to cancel the 2020 Annual Yard Sale and Chicken BBQ to err on the side of caution with concerns about the Covid 19 pandemic. We are concerned for the safety of everyone involved that attends as well as the workers. Instead, we are looking forward to an even bigger and better celebration in 2021. In the meantime, we hope everyone stays healthy and safe!

Old Home Days

PHILLIPS — Our 62nd Phillips Old Home Days 2020 is cancelled. We will take all of our plans, and have our 200th Birthday celebration of Maine next year. Our theme will continue next year as “Maine’s 200th Year Blast in Phillips.” The dates of Old Home Days next year are August 14th-22nd. This year’s Memorial Day Horse Pulls are also cancelled. The Phillips Chamber of Commerce cancelled to keep our small community safe from the virus still about. As we are, the community is disappointed, but understanding of our decision.
