MINOT — A building housing a store, post office and home was struck by fire Saturday.
A post in the Facebook public group “Friends of the Village Trading Post-Minot, Maine,” said:
“The Village Trading Post in West Minot, Maine, was destroyed on September 11, 2021. Along with the Trading Post our town also lost the West Minot Post Office and a residence.
“We will be working to put on some fundraisers to help the LeClair family (who lived above the store) and the owners of the Trading Post.”
Efforts to reach Minot fire officials Saturday were not successful.
