RANGELEY — The Maine Forestry Museum is looking for boys and girls between 6 and 8 years old to compete for the titles of Little Miss and Mister Woodchip.
The contest will be at 7 p.m. Friday, July 27, at the Forestry Museum grounds at 221 Stratton Road, Dallas Plantation.
The museum was formerly the Rangeley Lakes Region Logging Musuem. The Woodchip program is part of the museum’s 38th annual Logging Festival, which will be July 27 and 28.
Contestants may sing a song or recite a poem; they may choose a favorite or write their own. Other performances, such as dancing or playing musical instruments, will not be accepted toward the competition. Every Woodchip contestant receives a prize.
Winners will ride in the Little Miss and Mister Woodchip float in the Forestry Museum parade on Saturday, July 28, and be introduced at the festival immediately after the parade.
The clogging group Triple C Dance Team will perform after the contest. Also on hand will be the Pulled Together Band, playing bluegrass and folk tunes.
To enter children in the contest, contact Liz Pimentel at 917-836-1632. The Maine Forestry Museum, 221 Stratton Road, is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. For more information, call 207-864-3939; visit the museum Facebook page and website rlrlm.org.
