FRYEBURG, Maine — “We want the rec department to be the focal point of the town of Fryeburg. We want to be the driving force behind everything,” Fryeburg Recreation Director Rick Buzzell said on Friday when he announced the department’s plans to provide expanded adult programming.
The department, located at the Field of Dreams complex, has added its first community initiatives coordinator, Lindsay Knapp, who started on Oct. 1 and is already expanding the opportunities for adults to visit and use the recreation facility.
