We welcome 2011 with an issue full of local
stories that focus on what makes The County a great
place to live and visit. We start in Presque Isle with the
Community Players, a group responsible for putting on
countless performances through their many years from
plays to musicals for county audiences, all for the love
of a good show. From Presque Isle we sprint to Caribou
to get the low down on twenty-five years of the annual
Turkey Trot 5k put on by the Harrigan Family, which
has become a traditional event for several local families.
Onward to Fort Fairfield, we get the story behind one
of the town’s most interesting structures, from its past
to the present and what the future may hold for this
long-standing building. Northern Prosthetics may just
be one of The County’s best kept secrets. The services
they provide are state-of-the-art and go a long way in
helping to improve the quality of life for residents in
all of our communities. Follow us to Fort Kent, as we
take a look at the iconic Aroostook County event that
is the Can-Am dog sled races. Finally, we return to
Central Aroostook for a walk down memory lane.
We are always looking to learn new things
about our favorite part of Maine from our readers,
so if you know of a story you would like to see
here or have one to tell yourself, don’t hesitate
to contact us. Enjoy your winter Aroostook
and we will see you in April.
