More than 40 crafters will be featured at the Pembroke Historical Society Craft Fair from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3, at Pembroke Elementary School.
The fair “is part of a continuing effort to raise funds to maintain the society activities and museum,” wrote craft fair chairwoman Bonnie Hunter.
Crafters from Lubec, Alexander, Eastport, Pembroke, Dennysville and other locales will sell everything from original artwork to painted wooden items, holiday ornaments and decorations.
Back issues of the society’s quarterly newsletter, “The Pemmaquon Call,” will be available along with souvenir plates, T-shirts and sweatshirts featuring a graphic of the old Pembroke Iron Works.
Raffle tickets for a sampler quilt, compliments of members and friends of the St. Croix International Quilters’ Guild, will be available and folks representing the Historical Society of Charlotte will have pictures of vintage scenes of that neighboring community, Pembroke and surrounding communities.
You can purchase a lunch of hot dogs, sandwiches and cold drinks, and participate in the society’s popular Chinese raffle.
Craft fairs, as so many of you know, are wonderful places to do that special holiday shopping, particularly, I find, for family members living far away from home.

On behalf of the Calais Lioness Club, parade chairwoman Jayna Smith invites one and all to attend its annual holiday parade beginning at 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 2, at Johnson’s Hardware and proceeding through downtown Calais.
U.S. Postal Service letter carriers will be walking in the parade, collecting your children’s letters to Santa Claus so, while he’s busy talking with the kids, he won’t have to think about getting those requests back to the North Pole.
Then, join in the fun of the Calais Lion’s Club Santa’s Helper Program, which will be broadcast 1-5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4, on WQDY FM 92.7 from Calais Congregational Church on Calais Avenue.
The public is invited to participate in this program by making donations or reading, singing and performing on the radio.

Dorothy Cole Warren, a member of Bangor High School Class of 1941, called this week to say that, because “we have not been active as a class for about two or three years,” there are several issues they need to discuss.
Therefore, a meeting has been called for the Class of 1941 for noon Thursday, Dec. 8, at First United Methodist Church, 703 Essex St. in Bangor.
Because “we don’t know how many will attend,” Warren explained, you are asked to bring your own lunch.
“We’d just like all members who can come, to come,” she added.
If you have questions, you can call Warren at 947-6347.
