Howdy neighbor!
Coming up this Saturday, Aug. 1, the Friends of Parsonsfield Seminary will be hosting an antique and classic car show on the grounds of Parsonsfield Seminary on Route 160 in North Parsonsfield from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. If you’re into classic cars, you simply must go and see it; there will be over 200 antique and classic cars present, as well as raffles, lawn games, and a pancake breakfast starting at 7:30 a.m. But friends, even if you’re not into cars, if you haven’t yet seen the seminary for yourself, do take the time to go out and visit it. It’s a bit beyond our area of readership, but well worth the drive.
