All of us here at Tri-County Literacy would like to thank everyone who helped make this year’s Candy Cane Festival such a success. Thanks to the creativity and hard work of our staff, our board, and more than 100 volunteers, the Dec. 9 event enjoyed a strong turnout, despite wintry weather.

We are very grateful to the Maine 3-Railers for their fabulous model train display and for donating a train for our raffle. We also owe a huge debt of gratitude to our major sponsors, the James and Betty Jacobs Family Charitable Trust, Camden National Bank, Oyster Creek Electric, and Bath Savings Institution.

We also wish to thank Tess’s Market and Midcoast Pizza and More for their generous donations of food for our hardworking volunteers.

The success of this fundraising event will help us fulfill our mission of providing free literacy services in Cumberland, Sagadahoc, and Lincoln counties.

Thanks so much to all who participated!
