FRYEBURG, Maine — Fryeburg selectmen are mulling a proposal to have drive-in fireworks at the fairgrounds to celebrate Independence Day.

Town Rec Director Rick Buzzell pitched the idea to selectmen on May 14, and while Selectman Kimberly Clarke was all in, Chairman Tom Klinepeter and Selectman Jim Dutton seemed apprehensive about possibly going against Gov. Janet Mills’ orders not to congregate due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
