  1. Good morning - I've updated our profile so it's time for another Volunteers Wanted post!

    Right now we are in search of all roles (More here: volunteernow.volunteerfairfax. )

    But in particular we would really like a knife sharpener! Do you know someone who would be willing to come out to Great Falls Library to help us with this? Please send them our way!

    Knife sharpening typically runs from 10:30am to 12pm at our Cafe - if you're ready to pack up and leave at/after 12pm, you're welcome to do so. We also invite our volunteers to come early, at 10am, to have time to set up before doors open, but that's not a requirement.

    Knife sharpening is our most popular service at Repair Cafes. We've had volunteers who have worked on machines with sanding belts, as well as ones that have worked with whetstones - we're not picky, if it works for you, it works for us.

    Please boost! 🔃 ✅

  3. Off to see another waterfall, this one so great it is called Great Falls! I also experienced a few miles of historic canal tow path, wandered past some mining history, but failed to get going on the particularly rough bit of trail.

    The details are all here:

    Warning! Way too many photos included!

    LEWISTON, Maine (WGME) -- "A march for Pride.

    "#GreatFallsPride kicked off #PrideMonth, marching from Auburn to Lewiston.

    "Advocates marched, chanted, and waved flags from Auburn's Festival Plaza across the bridge into Lewiston's Simard Payne Park.

    " 'Together, we are strong together, we are here together. We can make it through all of this, and it's only together that we will continue [to] succeed. Continue to thrive and continue to survive,' Beatrice Roseland, a Pride advocate, said.

    "Chair of Great Falls Pride Alex Pine says the group has celebrated Pride Month every year for over a decade, and this year, they are keeping the tradition going.

    " 'In modern life, I think it's so easy to be separate. We have social media. We're all online, we're busy, we're doing our thing, so we don’t often get a chance to all come together in this way, so physical coming together is so important for connection, friendships, community for love,' Pine said.

    "The event continued in the park where around 50 local venders set up shop, offering a range of options from handmade jewelry, food, art, and more.

    " 'It's really important for us to have this space to come together, to celebrate, but it also feels wonderful to see allies here and see the community show up for us,' Pine went on.

    "Support groups also gathered to bring #LGBTQ+ community members together.

    " '#Queer, #TransPeople, come from all walks of life, we come from all creeds and colors, and it's good for us to come together and see that for each other,' Roseland said.

    "The volunteer-led group is hosting a number of events all week to celebrate the start of Pride Month.

    " 'We have made it that week-long of things where we get to really introduce people to different ways to be in this community and be part of it, whether you like biking, or I feel like telling stories, it's all important things that people get to be a part of,' Tyler Pulk, the future chair of Great Falls Pride, said.

    "Here are a list of events hosted by Great Falls Pride:

    June 1:
    - Pride March & Festival (10 AM)
    - Afterparty at Olive Pit Brewing (6 PM)

    June 2:
    - Board Game Night at Forage Market (5 PM)
