The Easton Recreation Department will travel to local towns the remainder of this week for various activities.

Today, the Maine Red Claws/MRPA Hot Shot Competition is being held in Caribou for those who qualified. The competition starts at 10 a.m. and takes place at the Caribou Wellness and Recreation Center. Good luck to Easton’s representatives.

On Thursday, laser tag is being offered at the Aroostook Centre Mall from 10 a.m.-noon, with a trip to KFC planned for lunch. The bus will depart from the Hall at 9:40 a.m. and return by 1 p.m. The cost is $8. If cost is a concern, there may be some scholarship money available for this one.

Friday will feature a trip to McDonald’s and ice skating at the Forum in Presque Isle. The bus will depart at noon from the Hall. The cost is $5 for ice skating and participants will need lunch money. Please be sure your child is wearing socks and knows his/her shoe size. The bus returns at 3:20 p.m.
