FARMINGTON – People in Farmington will don earmuffs Saturday as the town pays its annual tribute to the native son who invented the device in 1873 out of fur, cloth and wire as way to keep his ears warm.
A parade, a chili contest and a gingerbread house contest are among the events set for Chester Greenwood Day, held on the first Saturday in December. There will also be a Civil War re-enactment by the 3rd Maine Volunteer Infantry and an open house at the Ski Museum of Maine.
