BETHEL – John Wight, Bethel, Registered Master Maine Guide, will present a program, “The Allagash Experience,” at a Down Home Maine meeting from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Thursday, May 1, at the Lewin Center’s Gehring House, 77 Broad St., sponsored by Western Mountains Senior College.

Wight, a Gould Academy instructor, will show the beauty and grandeur of the Allagash region in a PowerPoint presentation. He will discuss his experiences and some of the special people who live there and show pieces of memorabilia from his experiences in the Maine woods over the past 46 years.

Wight, a third-generation Maine Guide, was raised in the tradition of outdoor education and experience. His grandfather ran a boys camp in Bolster’s Mills in the 1920s.
