Rumford board announces May plant sale
RUMFORD — The Rumford Historical Society Board of Directors has announced the annual spring plant sale, with seedlings from Nghia Ha’s greenhouse, will be available for purchase at 11 5th St., Mexico, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, May 22 and 23.
However, it is the consensus of the board that the usual June yard sale cannot be planned at this time, with so many cases of COVID-19 currently in the area and the availability of COVID vaccines still in flux.
The board reminds those who have not paid their 2020-2021 dues to please remit the $10 per member to: Lewis Irish, Treasurer, RHS, 145 Congress St., Rumford, ME. 04276.
