    PRESQUE ISLE – The public is invited to attend a public workshop on The History of Making Traditional Snowshoes at 1 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 24, in the University of Maine at Presque Isle’s Campus Center. The event is sponsored by SAGE [Seniors Achieving Greater Education].     Brian J. Theriault, of Fort Kent Mills, will share with workshop participants the art of making snowshoes which he learned from his father and which he asserts is an easy and inexpensive way to enjoy winter. Theriault will speak about the history of snowshoes and show a video that details this dying art form. He will welcome discussion and encourages anyone with questions about their own snowshoes to bring them along and join the conversation.
