Dover-Foxcroft Shiretown Homecoming canceled

DOVER-FOXCROFT — The Dover-Foxcroft Shiretown Homecoming Committee announces the cancellation of the 2020 celebration due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The health risk and uncertainty from the pandemic has led the committee to cancel the parade and fireworks scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 1.  The committee will focus its efforts on planning a bigger and better 2021 celebration.

The decision certainly was not an easy one but one that was necessary in light of the present COVID-19 health risks.  The committee would like to take this opportunity to thank its numerous sponsors and volunteers who make this celebration possible and support it throughout the year.
