DEAR SUN SPOTS: The First Universalist Church of West Paris at 208 Main St. will be holding the annual Rhubarb Festival with everything rhubarb on June 3 from 9 to 11 a.m.

In addition to all the goodies, there will be white elephant tables to browse through as well as boxes of stationery featuring our stained glass windows which we are selling to aid in the restoration of those windows.

Contact me at 674-2143 for further information. Be sure to remember, this event is in West Paris. The GPS will take you all over “Robin Hood’s Barn”. — Marta, West Paris

ANSWER: Does anyone love rhubarb as much as I do? I don’t think so! This sounds like a great fundraiser—and thanks for clarifying the location. We don’t want any lost Sun Spotters out there!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Knights of Columbus are sponsoring a blood drive at the parish hall of Holy Trinity Church at 67 Frost Hill Ave. in Lisbon Falls on June 5 from 1 until 5:30 p.m. Please call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit https://www.redcrossblood.org/ and enter HTC to schedule an appointment. There is an urgent need for blood donors.— Raymond, no town

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Once again, you are my first thought for help. I have just lost a lot of my hair and would like to find an area salon that can make a hairpiece that matches my color and looks realistic, a female version of a toupee, I guess you would call it. — No name , Auburn

ANSWER: I’m so sorry you’re going through this. In the Rolodex I have Madeline’s Hair Replacement (https://www.madelineshairreplacement.com/) in Saco. The business is state-of-the-art and has been around since the mid-1960s. They are open Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Saturday by appointment. You can reach them at 571-3277 or email to madelineshair@gmail.com.

Hair Matters is part of Ocean Waves Studio https://www.hairmatters2me.org/) in Portland. The first step would be to have a consultation with them. They can be reached at 216-1016. You can also send them an email at info@hairmatterstome.org.

You may be a candidate for treatments to help your hair grow back, or for hair implants/transplant. There are dermatologists who would be able to assist you on that journey if appropriate. Let me know if you want that information.

Readers, if you know of other specialists who can help our reader, please write in.
