    The District Art Show was held April 5 at Jeff’s Catering in Brewer. Artwork from Patten, Dover-Foxcroft, Guilford, Greenville, Dexter, Newport, Pittsfield and Winterport were on display for judging. The GFWC/Dexter Women’s Literary Club is excited to announce that Correa’s self-portrait came in third place. She received a ribbon and a gift certificate.
