Tickets are available at Skidompha Library in Damariscotta, which is also where the quilt is on display. The deadline to purchase tickets is 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23, according to a news release from Marianne Pinkham with the Damariscotta Mill Fish Ladder Restoration Project.
This is the fifth quilt that Betty Lu Brydges has created and donated to the Fish Ladder Restoration. All proceeds from the raffle support the ongoing maintenance of the 69 gradually ascending fish pools, and the walkways that allow visitors to view the pools and the alewives.
The pools have been rebuilt over the past 20 years, but improvements are necessary.
The Damariscotta Mills Fish Ladder Restoration Project is a community-based effort in collaboration with the towns of Nobleboro, Newcastle and the Nobleboro Historical Society.
For tickets visit damariscottamills.org. For more information, call David Brydges at 207-832-1790.
