LIVERMORE FALLS ADVERTISER • May 13, 2021
For the second year in a row, the Wilton Blueberry Festival has been forced to shelve the event because of COVID-19 restrictions. “We’re damned if we do, damned if we don’t,” Chairwoman Shannon Chase Smith said in a phone interview. “People aren’t paying attention to everything that’s being said.” Smith, who is retiring this year as chairwoman after 30 years, said even though CDC restrictions ease May 24, 6-foot social distancing will still need to be maintained. The CDC also recommends no parades be held in Maine this year.
