FUN & ADVENTURE

Indie Movie Theatre

If the idea of going to see a movie at the Wilton Town Hall Theatre in Wilton sounds like a rustic trip back in time, well, you’re half right. There’s a timelessness to this two-screen theatre that once featured vaudeville and silent films, but their standards for displaying the best of current cinema (and the occasional vintage silent film) are high and their popcorn is fresh with real melted butter. Residents of the Wilton area and fans of the Town Hall Theatre are aware of what a cinematic treasure they have. Folks from all over the state are getting the message. facebook.com/wiltontownhalltheatre

Tees, Action Figures & Local Pride

Not many people love being from New Hampshire as much as Nick Lavallee does. His art-toy and apparel brand, Wicked Joyful, distills every ounce of that Granite State passion into for-purchase collectibles, including jokey, handmade action figures of New England heroes, shirts with regional slogans and his whimsical campaign to publicly declare Manchester the Chicken Tender Capital of the World (which, it is). As a former stand-up comedian, Lavallee knows the power that happiness and laughter hold. With Wicked Joyful, he’s hoping to spread that power throughout the state — and, hopefully, the world. shop.wickedjoyful.com
