In Fort Kent, you will always find someone you know at a community event! UMFK President Deb Hedeen and the University of Maine System’s Vice Chancellor for Strategic Initiatives Carolyn Dorsey were all smiles as they joined the community for Fort Kent’s America250 celebration—proving once again that you can’t attend a small-town event without running into someone you know. 🤩
