As people filed into the Stone Soup Food Pantry on Main Street on Monday morning, Jack and Vassie Fowler pulled up to the curb with their silver minivan filled with food. The owners of Union House Pub and Pizza were delivering the last 25 of 50 turkeys they donated to the food pantry.

The Fowlers got inspired to start their “turkey challenge” when they drove past the pantry last month on a Monday morning — one of two days each week when people can pick up food.

“I was taken by how many people were standing in line (for food pickup),” Vassie Fowler said. “These were regular people, and they needed food.”

If you ever participated in a treasure hunt as a child, you probably remember the thrill of finding whatever it was you were searching for.

Two dozen people turned out for Sunday’s geocaching event at Blandings Park Wildlife Sanctuary to revisit that childhood pastime of treasure hunting — but using a GPS navigational device as an aid — and to explore the sanctuary’s network of trails.

Handing out trail maps to Sunday’s group, sanctuary founder Peggy Ayers explained that she would lead folks on a sample geocache hunt, while Paul Gadbois, a sanctuary advisory board member, would use GPS navigation and lead a “more adventurous group” to the site of a registered cache.
