Upcoming Grange events

    July 18 is the date for the Piscataquis Pomona Grange annual Fun and Fund Raiser at the Boomsma’s home — 17 River Road in Abbot. Arrive any time after 5 p.m. for some horseshoe pitching … bring lawn games … just sit and feed the mosquitoes…  the grill starts sizzling at 6 p.m. .… and we have a short but fun auction (bring a few items to donate) beginning around 7 p.m.  This is not just for Grangers. Picnic is potluck — hamburgers and hot dogs will be provided by Janice and Walter, bring a salad or dessert. We usually wind up with the traditional marshmallow roast.
