Guilford Town Manager Tom Goulette, with resident Brian Woodworth looking on, displays a camper ceramic mug as part of the Bicentennial Birthday Bash on Feb. 14 at the Valley Grange to kick off a year of festivities celebrating the community’s 200th birthday (the town was officially incorporated on Feb. 8, 1816).

The bash began a 37-day raffle through the date of the annual town meeting on March 21, and a Red Sox gift bag went to Michelle Nichols with two tickets to a game at Fenway being won by Megan Ryder. Goulette said the daily winners will be announced on the Guilford Maine Bicentennial Facebook page, which includes information on all the events planned for 2016. “There’s a lot of things going on up to our River Festival and even after that,” he said.
