NGFR BBQ at Thompsons a festive and delicious fundraising success

The New Gloucester Fire and Rescue hosted their annual barbecue at Thompsons’ Orchards on September 30th. A fundraiser for the NGFR, they hoped to clear $1,000 for various needs and projects. The weather was perfect and many stopped to enjoy chicken, burgers and hot dogs.  Gray Stop and Shop and an anonymous donor helped support this cause.
