Weeks into Wiscasset Lights of Hope, the response has been great, Wiscasset schools’ athletic director and Wiscasset Middle High School Assistant Principal Warren Cossette said.
“The town has really shown what a group effort can make happen,” Cossette said in an email reply Dec. 3. “The Wiscasset Boosters, Highway Department, Wiscasset Community Center, Wiscasset Fire Department and many residents have been putting out lights and assisting in every way. Extra lights were added to the tree on the town common!
“The student council and Wiscasset School Department would like to thank everyone for making ... Lights of Hope a success!”
Parks and Recreation Director Duane Goud, said Friday: “With everything that’s going on, we just want to make sure that everybody still enjoys the holiday season and the Christmas spirit ... It’s not an upbeat time right now, but we’re trying to keep everybody upbeat.”
