RANGELEY – The Rangeley Lakes Region Logging Museum will hold its annual fundraising auction at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 7, at the museum building on Route 16, one mile east of Rangeley.

Auctioneer Stephen Richard will be at the gavel once again. Everyone is welcome to view the items beginning at 9 a.m.

The museum will offer gift certificates, golf passes, ski passes, restaurant and motel certificates, safety deposit box rentals and other goods from almost every business in town. Out-of-town businesses have also sent donations.

Individual donors have given furniture, dishes, paintings and other items as well as handmade crafts. Rodney Richard, the Mad Whittler, promises a chainsaw-carved bear, and his son, Rodney Richard Jr., will also donate a carving. International items from Norway and Scotland will also be offered.

Rangeley cooks, such as Carol Haley, Beverly Hill, Lynnie Raymond, Audrey Stevens and others, will prepare pies, fudge, doughnuts and other homebaked goods.

To donate, call Rodney Richard at 864-5595 for pick-up.
