Mayor Carl Sheline said Wednesday that city staff told him anecdotally that they couldn’t remember a time when a similar event permit was denied by the council. “Barbecues, acoustic guitar and keeping people alive shouldn’t be controversial,” he said.

The very first Ostara Art Stroll and Maker Fair kicked off Saturday. Organizers say the fair is a celebration of art, the warm months to come, the return of longer days, new beginnings, and growth. Local artists say the art scene is growing in Lewiston. @WGME
