KINGFIELD — Dozens of youngsters arrived early Saturday morning to be part of the first Outdoor Heritage Day in Kingfield.

Organizer Niilo Sillanpaa III and volunteers welcomed more than 100 visitors to a camp tent in front of the Narrow Gauge Depot. Children learned how to call a turkey and a moose and how to reel in paper fish in the imaginary lawn pond. They learned the basics of archery under the watchful eye of Marc Keller, an athletics coach in the local school district.

Kurt and Shannon Rolbiecki, owners of the Narrow Gauge Depot, hosted the gathering, and crews from Maineiac Outdoors, the Maine Wildlife Coalition and the Maine Sporting Dogs Association. Forest Ranger Rick Rogers and Maine Warden Scott Thrasher answered dozens of questions from eager children interested in learning about wildlife and the critters in the western Maine woods.

The Herbert Grand Hotel’s lobby displayed vintage western Maine postcards, wildflowers and colorful garden flower arrangements. The Masonic Lodge hosted its popular chicken barbecue, and under the nearby tent, participants in the “So You Think You Can Dance” competition showed their enthusiastic moves.

Saturday’s noontime Grand Parade was slowed only slightly by the occasional showers. Dozens of creative floats, featuring the “Wild Wild West-ern Maine ” theme, marched past cheering crowds on the sidelines.

On Sunday, the popular mud football team competitions will end with playoffs and championship games. The Sunday morning 5K Run & Walk and Kids’ One Mile Run will start in Jordan’s Building Supply parking lot.

The Quad Runners ATV Club will host a fun run that starts at 8 a.m. at the sled shed across from the Poland Spring plant entrance. At 1 p.m., accuracy and distance in the skillet toss will earn points and prizes at the West Kingfield Road ball field. The Stanley Museum, the Kingfield Historical Society and the Ski Museum offer free admission until Sunday afternoon.
