Dear Community Members,
We hope this message finds you safe and well. We understand that recent events have left our community deeply concerned and on edge. The safety and well-being of our residents and visitors are our utmost priorities, and we want to address the current situation.
In light of the ongoing events involving the unresolved threat in Lewiston and the uncertainty surrounding it, we have been in contact with local authorities, including the Chief of the Houlton Police Department, to assess the situation carefully. Given the seriousness of the matter and in alignment with the recommendations from law enforcement agencies, we have decided to postpone the All Shires’ Eve Halloween event, originally scheduled for this weekend, to the following weekend. The safety of our community members is paramount, and this decision is made with everyone’s best interests in mind.
We understand that this postponement may bring disappointment, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience it may cause. However, it is our collective responsibility to prioritize safety above all else. We are hopeful that this proactive step will allow our community to come together under safer circumstances and enjoy the festivities next weekend.
In the meantime, if you’re looking for something to do this weekend, our beloved local businesses are still open. Be sure to check their respective pages for updates on their hours and events. They continue to be an integral part of our community, and your support would mean a lot to them.
Statewide Impact
We would like to inform everyone that in light of recent developments, all schools have taken the precautionary measure of canceling statewide activities. Discussions are also underway about potentially postponing the statewide opening day of hunting season. We will continue to monitor these developments and keep you informed.
Your Support Is Appreciated
In times as wild as these, it’s so heartwarming to see how tight-knit and supportive our community can be. We seriously can’t thank you enough for your understanding as we navigate this situation together. We will keep you updated as we know more.
Stay safe out there 
– The All Shires Eve Crew
