Pitsburg Church of the Brethren will host a local gospel group, On a Wing and A Prayer, at 6 p.m. on Sunday. On a Wing and A Prayer have been playing music together now for over 10 years.

They were playing worship music at Castine Church of the Brethren when they felt led to share their music with others outside of Castine.

Arcanum’s Old Fashioned Days is quickly approaching on May 20 to 22. The committee has been planning and scheduling a variety of music acts this year. Hopefully, there will be something for everyone. One of the new attractions we are trying to bring in is an All American Lumberjack Show that will run about three4 times per day, along with a 30-minute, interactive lumberjack camp for the kids. You can check out their site at www.lumberjackenterprises.com However, a show of this quality doesn’t appear for free. Numerous businesses from the Arcanum Area Business Association have stepped up to help sponsor this attraction, but they are still short in funding for this. This is a means for you to get involved in trying to make our festival better and better. If you, or a business you are associated with, would like to make a donation to help, it would be greatly appreciated. You can make checks payable to: Arcanum Area Business Association and mail them to: 24 W George St., Arcanum.

They would also love to get help in other ways as the team that plans Old Fashioned Days and other Arcanum events is a small but committed group that is proud of our town, and try very hard to get the word out to others and are always looking for more helping hands.
