From September 23-25, 2011, MWC again had a booth at the Common Ground Fair in Unity, Maine.  Some 60,000 people again visited the fair, hundreds of which visited MWC’s booth to learn about wolf recovery in the northeast.

I met many wonderful folks including Colby college student Angela Cross, an eighteen year old environmental studies major (see photo).  She and two other Colby college students interviewed me for school assignments.  A number of visitors related their stories of possible wolf sightings, the most interesting of which was a sighting in the White Mountains several years ago.  The observer documented the animal with photographs that he said he gave to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and were never returned.

We collected $120 in donations in our donation jar which more than paid the fee for having our booth at the fair.  Thank you everyone who donated and visited our booth.
