I just bought some ear muffs, as the weather has turned and I wear my hair in a bun for work which makes wearing a hat challenging.

It set me to thinking, how did these come about?

Chester Greenwood’s love of ice skating but dislike of hats and scarves is the answer.

Chester’s invention brought him and his hometown prosperity. Farmington Maine continues to celebrate him, rightly so.

3 cheers for all those out there working to make the world a bit better!
