Memories of the Turtle Races of the Long Branch

The Long Branch restaurant was located in Newport.

The March issue of the Northland Journal will include an article about the turtle races held at the Long Branch Restaurant in Newport in the 1970s. In the article, Roland “Buzzy” Roy, the owner of Brown’s Drug Store in Derby Line, tells about the races. Buzzy was the “Turtle Master” who cared for the turtles and helped organize the races. ——– Scott
