Home on the Grange- Part Two

BY JOY HOLLOWELL | WABI TV

There are 140 active granges in Maine.

In October, some of the 5,000 members gathered for their annual state convention in Skowhegan.

This was the 140th session of the Maine State Grange.

As Joy Hollowell found out, this year’s president is making history.

“I joined the grange when I was 15,” says Vicki Huff. “I belonged to the same grange all my life. My parents belonged and my grandparents belonged, so I’m a third generation granger.”

But Huff is the first woman to be elected master of the Maine State Grange.

“Yes, it’s taken us a 140 years to get here,” Huff says with a laugh.
