Dear Sun Spots: I am looking for the lady who sells yarn-covered hangers. She used to sell them at a booth at the Festival de Joie in Lewiston. If you can provide her phone number I will gladly get contact her or if she prefers she may call me at 782-2471. Thank you. – No Name, No Town.

Dear Sun Spots: I know Sun Spots reaches everyone so think you should know about this. A man came to the door and wanted to clear up the branches from the roof. He said he had a job nearby so it would only cost me $300. I told him I had a gentleman take care of my property. I think we should try to watch out for anyone with a scheme and tell others. Thank you. – No Name, Lewiston.
