MONSON’S 1ST ANNUAL FIDDLEHEAD SUPPER

Due to the short fiddlehead season, many people who come to the Monson and Moosehead Lake area never have a chance to pick or eat fiddleheads.
To give the public this opportunity, two fiddlehead appreciators, Angelo D'Ambrosio of Elliottsville and Linda Carvalho Bury of Monson, have organized a fiddlehead supper on Memorial Day weekend. At the event, people can try fiddleheads in various recipes while also honoring our Veterans.
The First Annual Fiddlehead Supper will be held at the Monson Community Center on Saturday, May 25th, from 5 to 7 PM. The menu will consist of “Fiddlehead Italiano” and other fiddlehead dishes or ham and beans for those who want an alternative dish. Cost to eat is $8 for adults, $6 for Veterans and $4 for kids under 12.

RECREATION GRANT FOR TRAILS AWARDED TO GREENVILLE

The Town of Greenville has received a $34,209 grant to develop a snowmobile and ATV trail linking the snowmobile club on Scammon Road to the Prong Pond Trailhead in Beaver Cove. The new trail will allow ATVs and snowmobiles to travel from the Greenville Junction Trailhead on Depot Road to the Prong Pond Trailhead in Beaver Cover, connecting to the snowmobile and ATV trails in Kokadjo. The grant was given by the Recreational Trails Program, administered by the Division of Parks and Public Lands of the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry. It will allow Greenville to complete the ‘missing link’ in the loop trail circum-navigating Moosehead Lake.
“We expect that once final landowner permissions have been secured, construction on both trails can be completed this summer.” remarked Dr. Kenneth B. Woodbury, Community Development Director of PCEDC. They hope to have the ATV trail open by the end of summer and the snowmobile trail ready for the winter season.
In addition, the grant will sponsor two ATV/Snowmobile Summits this year. One summit will bring together ATV and Snowmobile Clubs throughout the region with county, state and municipal legislators, to develop a shared strategy for funding trail maintenance. A second summit this fall will focus on area businesses and how they can increase and retain ATV and snowmobile customers.
For more information about the RTP grant, contact Ken Woodbury at 564-3638.
