FORT KENT – More than 20 senior citizens from across the country participated in last week’s Elderhostel program at the University of Maine at Fort Kent.

Participants went to sessions that covered three topics: Moose, Partridge and Bear, Oh My! – Ecology of the Maine Woods, French Acadian Culture and Astronomy for Beginners.

During the one-week session, participants attended morning seminars and after lunch went on field trips, including the Acadian Village in Van Buren and a tour of the Maine Winter Sports Center’s 10th Mountain Lodge facilities.
