We recently held a contest to pick a mascot for Central Aroostook Association!! This fun project led to 16 amazing entries! Our staff voted, our graphic designer chimed in and we are excited to announce Skipper the Squirrel is our new mascot.

Skipper was submitted by our maintenance team and influencer Lydia! The crew donated their cash prize to the Adoptive and Foster Families of Maine, Inc. & The Kinship Program and the gift drive led at CAA by Staci Ireland.
