It was nice to see many of you at State Grange session.
Thankfully, the items that went to “Big E” got back to me a few days before State Grange, so I was able to return these entries to the ladies who entered them. Winners at “Big E” from Maine:
- Class B Doilies: Grace Weste, 3rd Place
- Class C Embroidery: Gail Butterfield, 1st Place
- Class E Plastic Canvas: Elmira Collins, 1st Place
- Class G Adult Garment: Kathy Gowen, 3rd Place

Congratulations, ladies, you make Maine proud!
Also, at the State Grange Session, certificates were presented to the Granges that made donations to House in the Woods, Home for Little Wanderers, and prize money. A check for $630.00 was presented to Richard Harriman, who will present this to House in the Woods. I went to Home for Little Wanderers and presented them with a check for $605.00. There were also donations of diapers, diaper wipes, hats, mittens, and toys for them. These organizations are very thankful for the contributions the Granges donate to them.
I hope that you all have a very enjoyable Thanksgiving with your families. Let us be thankful every day.
