We are thankful to the art teachers in the Mascoma Valley Regional School District for bringing together students and community members to combat food insecurity in the Mascoma Valley. Handcrafted bowls will be available for purchase for $5 and a variety of soups will also be available to fill these bowls and your stomach. Proceeds benefit Friends of Mascoma Foundation. This exciting event was very popular and successful last year; come pick out your bowl at Canaan Elementary School before checking out all of the Christmas in Canaan festivities.
