There are over 100 comments on the original post from Western Maine Breaking News about what is going on in Peru.

Lots of people asking what's going on in Peru or Canton. Traffic is being detoured off Route 108. Someone reported that at around 3:30 pm there was a large police presence at the Canton Big Apple store.

Does anyone have any information? Thanks.

Update: A follower just sent us this information:

The incident in Peru they are trying to get a guy out his house, he’s trying to set it on fire. He’s having a hard time he lost his kid. Swat is there & they are trying to get him out.

From Bruce Farrin of the Rumford Falls Times:

"Due to circumstances beyond their control, the River Valley Chamber of Commerce has to cancel this year's Christmas in the Valley Craft Fair.

Committee members Cheryl Dickson, Tammi Lyons and Becky Dolloff sent the news to their many crafters that the reason is that due to the closure of one of the local schools, the gymnasium at the high school is over booked with school events.

They assured crafters that this is a one-time cancellation and we will be back ready and raring to go on Dec. 5, 2026. This event had been held for the past 31 years."
