The slush that fell from the sky Friday should not hinder winter carnival activities set to commence Saturday. “The wet snow hasn’t melted any of the snow already on the ground, and it’s supposed to get real cold,” said Bicentennial Committee Chairman Rick LaChapelle. “The Recreation Department will be the one to decide if it gets canceled, but all systems are go unless we get a downpour.” The festivities will start with a snowshoe parade starting from the parking lot at the Montagnard Club at 12:30 p.m. The route takes the parade up Lisbon Street, to Pine Street, ending at Kennedy Park. “Snowshoe clubs from all over are heading to Lewiston this weekend,” said LaChapelle.
