KNOWLEDGE ON TAP RECAP: What a night!🍻

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us at WopsHops Brewing Company and a special thank you to the Sanford Museum for a great lecture! Last night, we dove headfirst into the wild and unpredictable tenure of Mayor Forrest Lake, one of the most chaotic yet interesting figures in Sanford's history.

📜We host Knowledge on Tap every second Tuesday of the month– we hope to see you at the next session! You can learn about a new topic and also purchase specialty craft drinks created using ingredients from the garden at Extension Services.

REMINDER: Our office will be closed on Monday, September 7 for Labor Day.
