Company A, 3rd Maine Regiment Volunteer Infantry is a nonprofit educational and living history organization dedicated to preserving the memory of Maine's role in the American Civil War. Through living history events, battle reenactments, and educational presentations they work to teach others about what life was like for Maine soldiers and civilians during the years 1861 - 1865. They also strive to serve as a living memorial to all of the people who gave their lives during the War, and in doing so gave us these United States of America.

On Saturday, October 1st they will be in Farmington to hold one of their educational programs for Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts. The program they have lined up starts at Noon and ends by 6:00 PM. It will be held on the fields located by the Narrow Gauge Cinemas in Farmington.

There is NO COST to attend and each Scout that participates will receive a patch for attending. A definite number of how many Scouts will be attending needs to be given to the organizers by September 14th. The person to contact is Rita Smith (778-4058). Parents and siblings are welcome to attend.
