A much-loved British tradition, a car bootie is part yard sale, part flea market, part festival and all fun. Participants are invited to load up their cars, including tables, and park on the Fuego Diablo lawn with other sellers. There, sellers set up a stall and sell items out of the back of their vehicles. It’s like a multi-family yard sale in some else’s yard. Decorations and creativity are encouraged to lure shoppers.

Fuego Diablo will sell fresh baked goods and hot sauce along with free-range art, antiques and treasures from the attic, including music CDs collected in England. Artists and craftspeople are invited to participate, as are busking musicians. The cost is $10 to secure a spot. Buskers can perform for free. The deadline to sign up is June 26.

Fuego Diablo is located at 52 Loring Lane in Pownal, on the way to Bradbury Mountain State Park. For more information, contact Jamie and Wren Pearson at 408 3185 or visit Fuego Diablo on Facebook.

Bean supper on Saturday

On Saturday, June 21, the First Parish Congregational Church, 422 Hallowell Road, Pownal, will host a baked bean and spaghetti supper. There are settings at 5 and 6 p.m. Tickets are adults $8, children 5-12 $4, and children under 5 eat free. To reserve your tickets, call Lois at 688-4433.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is in the process of amending the flood maps on which many of the town’s building setbacks and regulations are based.

Homeowners are urged to come into the town office during business hours and take a look at the proposed maps to see if any changes are proposed that might affect their property. There will be forms available to appeal those changes.

Food pantry

The North Pownal United Methodist Church food Pantry on 851 Lawrence Road is open every Tuesday from 10:30 a.m.-noon. The pantry usually gets different kinds of breads, produce, desserts, etc. All are welcome.

Bottle drive fundraising

The Pownal Fire Company, which works to support the Pownal Fire & Rescue Department, seeks donations of returnable bottles and cans. In addition to providing food during fires and trainings, the group purchases work uniforms and equipment for emergency personnel. The money also helps to keep the fire department’s expenses down. The bottle building is located behind the town hall.
