During the recent Caribou Cares About Kids Family Fun Day held in Teague Park, the Caribou Children’s Discovery Museum offered kids of all ages a chance to see if they could keep a hula hoop going the most times without stopping. Paige Espling, 9, of Caribou showed off her hula-hooping talent by reaching 3,050 revolutions. Espling claimed the top spot in the girl’s age 10 and under group and for expending all that energy, she received a free banana split from Houlton Farm’s Dairy.
