The Androscoggin Grange Thanksgiving Banquet was a wonderful success!

It was heartwarming to see our community come together to share a delicious meal and enjoy time with neighbors and friends. A HUGE THANK YOU to our incredible Grange members who went above and beyond preparing amazing homemade dishes. Their dedication is what makes events like this possible.

We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to American Company for sponsoring this event. Your continued support of the Grange means the world to us, and we are so thankful for your commitment to our community.

This was our final event of the season, but we hope to see everyone at future gatherings and look forward to welcoming you all back in the spring.

It's that time again. I can't wait to see everyone. We have lots of items to choose from. We have chili, hot dogs, finger rolls and more for sale if you're just hungry. Baked goods table is always a hit. Don't forget our auction table and you don't have to be present to win.

This year’s Greene Village Day was one to remember. The Androscoggin Grange #8 is filled with gratitude for our beloved Town of Greene and all of our community members who came out to celebrate together.

The morning began with our GVD Pancake Breakfast. What a joy it was to see a record number of families and friends gather around the tables, sharing smiles, stories, and plates of homemade pancakes. Moments like these remind us of the heart of small town life. Neighbors coming together and creating memories that will last for years.

After the parade, our Chili and Pie contests brought warmth, laughter, and a little friendly competition. Each entry carried not only delicious flavors but also the love and tradition of the hands who made them.
A special thank you goes to Joseph Shovilin and the Hurricane’s crew for graciously judging again this year and to Rebecca Rice Brooke for her hard work and dedication in creating and coordinating these cherished events. To our Grange members who gave their time and energy, we are so grateful for your tireless dedication.

This year also brought something new and exciting, our very first GVD Craft Fair at the Grange! A heartfelt thank you to Darcey Boucher for putting this wonderful event together. It was such a joy to see the Grange filled with talented crafters and vendors, each one sharing their creativity and passion with the community. Thank you to all who participated, you helped make this new tradition a beautiful success!

We are deeply thankful to American Company here in Greene for sponsoring and for donating the wishing well raffle prize. Their generosity and unwavering support of our community events never goes unnoticed.

And of course, thank you to all of our wonderful participants! Your chili and pies brought so much joy to the day and your spirit of community shined through every bite.

The Androscoggin Grange #8 would like to thank Mike Cloutier of American Company in Greene, ME for his continued support and dedication in sponsoring events and projects at our beloved Grange! Most recently he sponsored and assisted in our Easter Egg Hunt & Breakfast and has donated a Wishing Well for us to have an amazing raffle for the 25th Anniversary of Greene Village Day!
His support has enabled us to grow our organization to new levels and has allowed us to provide amazing events and support for our community! Without businesses and sponsors like him none of this would be possible! We thank you Mr. Cloutier and appreciate your continued participation! ♥️ ❤️
