BAR HARBOR, Maine (AP) Officials at Maine’s Acadia National Park say there will be a lottery to determine who will be able to purchase firewood from the park at bargain prices.
The Bangor Daily News reports about 90 people have called the park hoping to buy up to two cords of wood each for $25. Park spokeswoman Christie Anastasia said last week that Acadia would have a lottery if more than 15 people made reservations.
Anastasia said Tuesday that people calling to reserve should keep in mind there will be a lottery now. The lottery reservation period ends Friday.
Lottery winners will have to schedule pickups between Oct. 30 and Nov. 2, and a park ranger will verify that the winners have collected no more than two cords of wood.
