MONMOUTH – The Cobbossee Colony Golf Course hosted a golf fundraiser for Monmouth and Litchfield fuel funds on Oct. 3.

Led by Gov. John Baldacci, the 46 participants each paid $35 to play. All entrance fees, along with $1,475 in donations by 17 area businesses and individuals, were donated to the fund.
