Students, staff and friends of the Aroostook County Action Program’s Child and Family Center in Caribou recently took the children to Chad Putnum’s farm in Mapleton, where they went on a horse and carriage ride, hunted for pumpkins and enjoyed popcorn, hot apple cider and hot chocolate.
Assisting with the children were students from the Loring Job Corps Center in Limestone.
