KINGFIELD — Wade Browne and Mervin Wilson plopped lobsters, chicken and corn on the cob onto paper plates, scooped coleslaw and handed cold drinks to the long line of hungry customers.

The Masonic Pillar to Post fundraiser provides donations throughout the year for scholarships, help for needy families and other charitable work. For a while, volunteers had a tough time keeping pace with the demand from the Saturday lunch crowd after the Kingfield Days Grand Parade down Main Street.

“We have about 200 lobsters, so I think we’re OK,” Wilson said. “The chicken is gone already.”

Nearby, customers sat at tables under a tent, chowing down and socializing with friends, neighbors and strangers on the sunny day.

Across the street, Steve and Darlene Woodman of Strong helped their young son Tristram feed the animals at the petting zoo. The goats were especially enthusiastic about the grain he offered, eagerly nibbling morsels from his outstretched palm.

“I think he’d be happy to stay here all day and just do this,” his father said.

Next door, Devin McCabe hiked hand over hand up a 30-foot climbing wall.

Other youngsters, safely strapped in a harness, bounced on a bungee and trampoline contraption that catapulted them 20 feet into the air. The Kingfield Historical Society opened its doors and its front lawn for an annual yard sale, and everything was priced to move, according to organizers. One lucky shopper scooped up an old-fashioned wicker planter for $2, and other treasures went off to their new homes.

The festival began Thursday with a flower show and photography contest. On Friday night, Jane Deely was crowned Mrs. Kingfield. She joined other recipients selected for their years of community service and leadership. She said she was delighted to be chosen by her peers for the honor.

“I knew I was on the list, but I was very surprised to be chosen,” Deely said.

A Kingfield resident for 33 years, she worked for the SAD 58 school district. In her many years of service, she has tutored for Literacy Volunteers and served as a mentor for the Girls Talk, Teen Voices program at Kingfield Elementary School. She also has been a trustee and treasurer for the Webster Public Library and has served on the town’s Appeals Board.

Deely’s first duties as Mrs. Kingfield included serving as a judge for the Saturday morning pet, doll and bike parades and for the Whatever Floats parade down the Carrabassett River. First-place winner was the Yellow Submarine, piloted by Shane Handrahan.

At noon, Deely rode in a Stanley Steamer at the head of the Grand Parade. Later, she hosted a houseful of company, including her son Peter, who drove from new Hampshire to share in the celebration. Deely said she was pleased with the recognition, but she was looking forward to a few hours of relaxation after her busy day.

“We had perfect weather, and everyone has had a wonderful time,” she said. “This was one of the best Kingfield Days I can remember.”
