The two families say they have been enjoying the rink, especially because there has not been much snow — yet — this winter. Plans call for a larger rink next winter.

Dave Griswold points out fissures on the bark of a beech tree Sunday to Craig Phillips during a tree and bird identification walk on the Pettingill Park trails in Auburn.

The walk, hosted by the Lewiston Auburn Community Forest Board, was one of the activities planned for the 2021 Auburn Winterfest. Andree Kehn/Sun Journal Buy this Photo
