Nataleigh Blackman of Boothbay has been singing with her grandfather, Garry Blackman Sr., for many years. Last year she taught herself how to play guitar. Nataleigh has competed several times in Maine (DECMA) and has won in her age group. Winning gave her the opportunity to travel to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and compete nationally against singers from all 50 states and Canada. She competed there in 2019 and placed third.

This year she has won her age group again and will be traveling to Tennessee March 12-19 with her grandmother, Karen Blackman. We will be having a bean, hot dog and coleslaw luncheon/auction at the Knights of Pythias Hall on Lakeside Drive, Boothbay Harbor on March 4 from 1 to 4 p.m. to help raise money for the cost of gas, lodging and meals.

If you have any auction items you would like to donate call 633-0831 and we will gladly pick them up. If you would like to donate to Nataleigh, her address is Nataleigh Blackman, P.O. Box 482, Boothbay, ME 04537. Thank you for your support.
