The Waldoboro Day Committee has selected the “Superheroes of Waldoboro” logo from Ezabella Fogleman, a student in Hannah Stanley’s class at the Miller School in Waldoboro.
Ezabella’s entry was selected from 30 entries sent to the committee from the school. It was a difficult choice, as all entries were creative, colorful, and fun. Many students showed combinations of their superheroes: parents, teachers, police, military figures, firefighters, doctors, nurses, public works employees, and even their vehicles.
The founders of Waldoboro were also remembered. Ezabella captured the spirit of Waldoboro’s future with two young superheroes in the making.
This year’s “super” Waldoboro Day will start on Friday, June 19 with the traditional bean supper at the Broad Bay Church and an event at the Open House of History featuring reflections on Jasper Stahl’s “Emotional History of Waldoboro.” Both events start at 5:30 p.m.
