Bangor

Senator Collins spent time at the Bangor Civic Center today, for the Bangor Arts & Crafts Show. She had the chance to speak with many artists and visitors, including a quilter named Carole Halteman. Carole is part of an organization called Quilts of Valor, from their website:

The mission of the QOV Foundation is to cover ALL war wounded and injured servicemembers and veterans from the War on Terror whether physical or psychological wounds with Wartime quilts called Quilts of Valor (QOVS).

Senator Collins was at the Bangor Auditorium recently for the Caribou - Lincoln basketball game:

When I am not in a hurry, I travel back from my camp on Cold Stream Pond to my home in Bangor along Route 2, rather than on Interstate 95, so that I can drive along the Penobscot River. In the fall, in particular, the reflection of the foliage on the river is absolutely beautiful. That perhaps explains why I am so excited about the Penobscot River Restoration Project.
