The Gorham Times was founded with the idea of bringing the news to Gorham, but also to highlight the achievements of Gorham residents. With the latter intent in mind, we want to feature stories about Gorham residents of all ages.

So often it is not until we are reading an obituary that we discover some of the amazing things our neighbors have done. The Gorham Times would like to celebrate these moments of your life with you and hope that these stories will strengthen a sense of connection within our community.

Have you ever won a pie eating contest? Have you hiked part or all of the Appalachian Trail? Have you ever ridden your bike across the country? Have you ridden a unicycle up the East Coast? Have you grown your own vegetables for years, or are you just getting started? Have you turned your yard into a food forest? Have you worked as a member of a pit crew for race cars? Tell us the things you have done.

We are seeking self-nominations or nominations of folks you know who would agree to be interviewed or to write one of these short memoir pieces. Please share with us these stories that could start a conversation. We look forward to learning about our neighbors.

Please contact us at gorhamtimes@gmail.com with your nominations or stories.
