nice time in Phillips….. Glad to see town folks come together. Despite the rain the parade was beautiful!!!!!!! Lots of nice floats.
first of all I’d like to thank those who donated to Chris he’s got a battle ahead and a long road to recovery. I would also like to thank Pottles transportation for sending their truck and Driver Kathy Peare and Bills Auto for sending Chris’s truck and another one too! When I called each of the companies about doing this they both jumped onboard with an immediate “Absolutely” Both great Maine companies and thank you to the folks who donated to Chris we raised $565.00 to help him with expenses … A great way to show someone the community loves and supports you!! That’s how we do things in Phillips Me USA
Best Parade in a long time. Sour Grapes that the judges didn’t want to get wet .
