On behalf of Leonard’s Mills, the Maine Forest and Logging Museum, Vicky Blanchette invites you to enjoy Living History Days from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday-Sunday, Oct. 1-2, at Leonard’s Mills, which is located off Route 178 in Bradley.

Horse-drawn wagon rides, bean-hole beans, reflector oven biscuits and fresh-pressed apple cider are among the activities, demonstrations and food you will enjoy in the 1790s-style village that offers fun and learning opportunities for the whole family.

Admission is $7 for adults and $2 for children ages 2-12.

An added attraction will be an 18th century-style wedding, to which you are cordially invited.

And while the reception is understandably a private affair, the public is most welcome to witness the ceremony that will unite Leonard’s Mills caretakers Sandra Beagle and Kevin Dunham.

The Beagle-Dunham ceremony begins at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1, at Leonard’s Mills.

From my Bangor Daily News colleague Dana Wilde comes this piece of Hurricane Katrina information.

“The makeshift school for homeless New Orleans children mentioned in ‘Dreams of a visit to New Orleans’ [which appeared in our paper on Sept. 19] needs donations of all school-related” items, Wilde wrote.

Donations and inquiries can be sent to Rob Hereford, Director, New Orleans West, c/o Episcopal High School, 4650 Bissonet, Bellaire, Texas 77401.

Wilde added that readers making donations are “asked to note they learned of the school” in his essay that mentioned Leigh Collins, counselor for Metairie Park Country Day School in Metairie, La.

Here’s something a bit unusual for lovers of organ music.

Kay Byther Eames, dean of the American Guild of Organists, Bangor chapter, invites you to an “Organ Crawl,” beginning at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 1, in Blue Hill.

Your first stop is a tour of the Bagaduce Music Lending Library and then you will visit three churches to hear three tracker organs.

After each demonstration you can play the organ if you wish.

The organs you will enjoy are the 19th century George Stevens organ at the First Baptist Church; the Andover-Ryder organ, renovated last year, at the First Congregational Church; and the 2004 Karl Wilhelm pipe organ at St. Francis by the Sea Episcopal Church.

If you are interested in attending, call Eames for information at 942-1474.

Backyard greenhouses are the subject of a free lecture from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 1, at the University of Maine Page Farm and Home Museum in Orono.

An introductory slide presentation by Penobscot County Extension educator Gleason Gray of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension will give you an idea of simple backyard greenhouses and the principles of greenhouse construction.

After Gray’s presentation, attendees will take a short walk around campus to view several greenhouse structures.

The fourth annual Borestone Mountain Hikeathon begins at 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 8, at Borestone’s main gate on Bodfish Road in Elliotsville, which is 10 miles northeast of Monson.

The event, in which hikers solicit pledges and choose from either a 5-mile or 2.5-mile round-trip hike, raises funds to help the Maine Audubon Society conserve the 1,639-acre Borestone Mountain Audubon Sanctuary.

Hikers turning in at least $25 in pledges will receive a 2006 pass entitling the hiker and family members to use Borestone Mountain sanctuary trails next season without paying trail maintenance fees, which are $4 for adults and $2 for students and people 60 and over.

For information, to make a pledge, or become a sponsor, visit www.maineaudubon.org or call Stacie Haines, 781-2332, ext. 234.

Gloria Jones of Millinocket was with her husband at Burger King on Hogan Road in Bangor recently.

She was about to get into her car when she spotted a picture facedown on the ground, she wrote.

“I just could not leave that darling baby’s picture,” lying on its back, on the ground, she wrote.

After turning the photo over, she found the name of the baby boy and that he was 51/2 months old when the photo was taken last February.

The photo was inscribed, “To Great Grammy Daniels,” Jones wrote.

“I would like for this party to have the picture,” she added.

“I will mail it to them if I can get an address.”

If you know who the baby is, and this is your photo, call Jones at 723-9051, or write her at 15 Middle St., Millinocket 04462.
