FARMINGTON — The Abused Women’s Advocacy Project will collaborate with Franklin County law enforcement to hold a community cookout from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 26, in Abbott Park, at the University of Maine at Farmington campus, Intervale Road.
Lunch plates will be available for local businesses and residents for $7. Each plate will include a hamburger, hot dog, chips, brownie and a beverage. Businesses in the downtown Farmington area can order in advance and lunch will be delivered by an officer from one of the local law enforcement agencies.
