Sandwich Fair Time Has Arrived At Last!
of the fair and they are a favorite with adults and children every year. The huge exhibit buildings are full of arts, crafts, garden projects, and much, much more. Submissions are judged in categories such as paintings, photography, quilting, and rug-hooking or drawing, with ribbons awarded. This year’s fair booklet is dedicated to long-time staff member Chappy Kilgore. “Chappy is the superintendent of concessions and he has been doing it for over 30 years,” Rhea explained. “That is quite an accomplishment. He started here part-time in 1960 and has been involved since then.”

(as of press time) and will take place on Saturday. On Sunday, the popular and fun parade will take place. Parking for the fair has been expanded and Rhea says this year there will be more parking on Skinner Street and Route 109 by the fire station. Because of the new parking, which is within easy walking distance to the fair, there will be no shuttle bus service. The fair encompasses about 15 acres of fairgrounds and, if parking lots are included, the number swells to around 26 acres. The amusement portion of Sandwich Fair is handled by Gillette Shows of Massachusetts. “We have kiddy rides and over a dozen adult rides,” said Rhea. She added that Gillette offers a special on Saturday of fair weekend, allowing people to buy a pass and ride as many times as they wish until 2 p.m. Food is obviously a huge part of Sandwich Fair. “We like to offer variety for fairgoers,” said Rhea. “We have the standard favorites each year, but we also like to offer concessions that are new, so our visitors can try something different.” Service organizations take part in the concessions and utilize the fair as a way to raise funds. School classes and service organizations sell hot dogs, burgers, and a variety of foods. Livestock owners always arrive on Friday of the fair weekend. They get their livestock unloaded and settled in, which is a process that takes time. “This year we have livestock owners coming from Vermont and Maine, Massachusetts, and we have had exhibitors from as far away as Connecticut,” said Rhea. Live animals are a big part

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper From live farm animals to jams and jellies, and fun rides and concessions to arts and crafts, Sandwich Fair has it all. The fair is still going strong as it marks its 104th year. Sandwich Fair is traditionally the last of the New Hampshire fairs that take place from summer until autumn; this year the Sandwich Fair will run from Oct. 11 to 13. Presented on the Sandwich Fairgrounds, the event marks the end of New Hampshire fairs and the start of the late fall/winter season. For many people, fall just isn’t fall without Sandwich Fair. Those who attend the fair (and there are thousands), come from all over New Hampshire and beyond to take in the event that is the epitome of a New England country fair. Organizing the fair is a big job and the staff begins working on the next year’s fair immediately after the current fair ends. According to Sandwich Fair Office Manager Rhea York, there are some new exhibits/events this year and also many returning favorites. “We have a new fiber arts area, which will be near the farmers’ market. It will be held under a tent and will feature about eight fiber artists. They will be demonstrating spinning, weaving, and more,” Rhea said. Once fairgoers grab a cup of coffee or a refreshing soda or lemonade and lunch, they often head to the main stage area to take in a variety of performances. From country music to rock to individual performers, a lot of talent takes to the stage each year during the fair. Rhea says that fair attendees will be happy to learn Annie and the Orphans are returning this year. The popular band plays all sorts of rock and roll and has a large following. New this year in the music arena will be the Thompson Trio, a country-andwestern band; and on Monday, the ’60s Invasion performs. Also scheduled to bring music to the fair will be the Peacheaters, an Allman Brothers-type band. “We are expanding the events in the horse show area and we will also feature a new oxen and steer cart obstacle course,” Rhea said. “The oxen are always very, very popular at Sandwich Fair.” The antique car show is filling up fast

The History of the Sandwich Fair By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper When something has been around a long time, we rarely stop to think who started it and when it began. Such is the case with the Sandwich Fair: The fair is such a part of autumn in New Hampshire, and so beloved, that many have no idea what the roots of the old-time event might be. Farming was one of the main ways families made a living in rural Sandwich in the 1800s; the Grange was a sort of gathering place for farming families. According to Sandwich New Hampshire 1763 – 1990, published by the Sandwich Historical Society, the Grange held the first Sandwich Fair in October 1892 and, not long after, the Sandwich Town and Grange Fair Association was created. In October 1886, a newspaper report stated that local farmers were preparing for a “rousing fair” and were ready to sell produce to fairgoers. Steer and oxen were to be sold. Fruits, vegetables, and flowers were on display and an impressive attendance of about 3,000 people came to the fair, which was a huge number at a time when travel was difficult. A local report added, “One noticeable feature was the entire absence of all indications of drunkenness, not a person being seen on the streets during the day in a state of intoxication.” In the fancy goods area, many handmade items were on display, the most popular of which was a velvet crazy quilt. Hand-painted items, quilts, and hooked rugs were exhibited by local ladies. At the 1887 Sandwich Fair, doting parents brought more than 10 babies to compete in the Baby Contest. Although the opening of the fair saw rain, it was reported that carriages came into Sandwich village from all directions. Former residents came back from cities such as Boston and Concord to meet up with childhood friends and to take in everything the fair had to offer. Livestock was exhibited (more than 120 pair of cattle were brought to the fair) and the fancy goods were on display in a village hall. Horses, oxen, and other animals also were displayed. In 1888, the ladies outdid themselves with exhibits of handiwork, showing everything from knitted goods to quilts to paintings. In the Victorian era, people were fascinated by unusual items that could be displayed in private homes.
Antiquities such as 100-plus-yearold linen handkerchiefs, an old mortar brought from Scotland at least 100 years before the fair, a Revolutionary War-era cannon, and bayonets and other unusual items were displayed. In 1892, the Sandwich Fair kicked off with a Grand Parade of horses and cattle led by the Carroll Cornet Band. The Baby Show, still a popular part of the fair, along with an exhibit of horses and draft oxen at the fairgrounds, dinner at the Masonic Hall, a bicycle race, a foot race, and a Match Game of Baseball took place. In the early years of the Sandwich Fair, the event took place in a local grove with exhibits peppered throughout the town. Food and drink stands were set up along the roads, as was entertainment. The town’s public buildings were utilized for exhibits. That makeshift arrangement changed in 1937 when the fair moved to the newly established Quimby Field. The site had been swampland but was filled in, graded, and made available for the fair. At the time, the Great Depression was ending and travel and entertainment were on the minds of many. The growing popularity of automobiles meant more people could attend the Sandwich Fair. Land beyond Quimby Field was purchased and graded for parking and exhibition buildings. The fair continued to grow and, by the early 1940s, a stage was built, as well as a poultry hall and other exhibit spaces. According to the Twenty-First Annual Excursion of the Sandwich Historical Society 1940, the attendance that year was estimated to be the largest of any up to that time. Although the fair was held

Oct. 12, 1940 (a week day), the awkward timing of the one-day fair did not stop people from attending. There were many, many concessions and exhibits. So huge was the crowd that more parking was needed to alleviate the congestion. Over the years, the popularity of state fairs grew by leaps and bounds and the charming Sandwich Fair was high on the list of New Hampshire events that drew large crowds. In 1975, the Sandwich Town and Grange Fair Association became the Sandwich Fair Association. By 1980, the fair was running one and a half days (open Sunday afternoon and all day Monday). In keeping with the times, in 1988, the Sandwich Fair changed its hours of operation and was open on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. In the 1980s, the weather varied each year. In 1986, the fair saw sun, a little
rain, and clouds. A midway had been added and was very popular, and stage shows with music kept the crowds entertained. The next year, 1987, was a different story as far as the weather was concerned. According to historical information at www.thesandwichfair.com, as the fair opened for the three-day stint, it was cold and snow and sleet soon followed. The fair saw large crowds in 1988 with good weather and with such attractions as a group of riders on antique bicycles, five stage shows, cow-pie pitching contests, and prize-winning recipes. By 1992, the fair was in its 83rd year and took place Oct. 10 - 12. A fair that had started as a means of offering a venue for showcasing agriculture and handcrafts gained international fame that year when an article in the autumn issue of the National Geographic Traveler named Sandwich Fair the last remaining country fair in New Hampshire. According to the th 74 Annual Excursion of the Sandwich Historical Society 1992, the efforts to highlight agriculture and home crafts had paid off in the continued popularity of the fair. A petting zoo was added that year to allow children to get close to the animals. The Sandwich Fair has changed and grown over the years since its beginnings. One thing that remains the same is the focus on farming, farm animals, and meeting friends and family in an atmosphere that can be likened to a family reunion.

Lakes Region Foliage Tour By Sarah Wright The smell of fireplaces is in the air, my sweaters have come out of storage, and I’m “Googling” apple and pumpkin recipes. That can only mean one thing: Fall is officially here! All around New Hampshire, the leaves are putting on a show of beautiful reds, oranges, yellows, and purples. I have to admit, I’m guilty of “leaf peeping” while driving, but it’s hard to focus on the road when the sun is shining through the leaves just so. Although many people travel to the White Mountains to view the leaves, the Lakes Region is full of opportunities to see spectacular color. Just driving around the perimeter of Lake Winnipesaukee is a joy in the fall, but exploring a new road can be a colorful surprise. I recently jumped on Route 11-A from Gilford to Alton instead of taking the usual Route 11 and was so happy that I did. The colors were amazing and it’s a fun road to drive on — lots of ups and downs like a rollercoaster. Also, on the south side of Lake Winnipesaukee, Route 140 from Alton through Gilmanton is a pretty drive. Middleton Road, which leads from Wolfeboro through New Durham (where it becomes Kings Highway) is dreamy. Any road where the branches connect across at the top is magical to me. You can also take Route 109 from Wolfeboro through Tuftonboro and into Moultonborough for some nice scenery. Everyone knows that trees appear more vibrant next to water, and it’s a real treat when you can get a perfect reflection. On Route 104 on the west side of Win-
Beautiful fall foliage is reflected in the waters of Brewster Beach in Wolfeboro. (Photo: Sarah Wright) nipesaukee, the colors are beautiful along Lake Pemigewasset and Lake Wicwas. From Meredith, you can take Route 25 into Center Harbor and then turn left onto Bean Road. You’ll drive north past scenic Squam Lake into Sandwich. Or you can choose to take Route 3 South from Meredith into Weirs Beach. Other great options include Route 153 in East Madison, driving south into Freedom (where you can pick up Route 25 to Ossipee). Or take Route 3-A from Plymouth past Newfound Lake and toward Franklin. But why spend all day in the car when you can stretch your legs and take in some of that crisp air? If hiking is your thing, there are beautiful views at the top of Mount Major in Alton, which is a fairly easy and popular hike, or you can choose to hike or take a chairlift up
to the summit of Gunstock Mountain in Gilford. If you’re not up for a hike, but still want to check out an amazing view, nothing beats the majestic scenery at the Castle in the Clouds at 455 Old Mountain Road in Moultonborough. The castle is open from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m., seven days a week, through Oct. 26, so there’s still time to visit before the leaves drop. Drive up to the carriage house and catch a trolley ride to Lucknow mansion, or instead plan a day to explore the numerous trails on the property. If you get hungry, the Carriage House Restaurant is open daily for lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For further information, visit www. castleintheclouds.org or call 603-4765900. If you’d prefer to sit back and relax while someone else takes the wheel, there are
other options for viewing color in the Lakes Region. The M/S Mount Washington offers scenic foliage cruises daily until Oct. 19 and foliage dinner cruises on Sundays through Oct. 12. The ship visits five ports on Lake Winnipesaukee, picking up passengers in Wolfeboro, Meredith, Center Harbor, and Alton Bay on alternating days of the week, with daily cruises from Weirs Beach. For more information, call 603-366-5531 or visit www.cruisenh.com. Last autumn, I made plans for my family to take a train ride to view the leaves. I chose the round-trip fall foliage excursion offered on weekends by the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad (through Oct.26). Everyone enjoyed the trip through wooded areas and along the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. You can pick up the train at the Meredith station on 154 Main Street for a two-hour ride at 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., or 2:30 p.m. You can also choose to depart from Weirs Beach for a one- or two- hour ride, leaving on the hour from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. On Saturday nights through Oct. 18, board a foliage dinner train and enjoy a turkey dinner catered by the well-known Harts Turkey Farm restaurant (reservations are required). For more information about the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad, or to purchase tickets in advance, call 603-745-2135 or visit www.foliagetrains.com. Nature is putting on quite a show this year, for sure! So, zip up your fleece, put on some comfy shoes, and don’t forget to bring a camera.

Safe Fall Hiking By Sarah Wright Autumn means apple-picking, corn mazes, and cider doughnuts, but the trees certainly steal the show with their beautiful shades of red, orange, yellow, and purple. Sure, you can take a scenic drive to view the spectacular colors in the region … or you could get up close and personal with a hike. My sons love to walk through the woods because it means discovering acorns, colorful leaves, and the occasional snake. We always end up bringing some mementos home with us, although I draw the line at reptiles! While they are still too young for any serious hiking, I know that day will come when we’ll be planning a day trip and thinking of what to pack. But it goes beyond fleece jackets and trail mix. There are safety precautions to consider, and everyone should follow some basic guidelines when entering the woods for a hike. According to www.hikesafe.com, there is a Hiker Responsibility Code that was developed and endorsed by the White Mountain National Forest and NH Fish and Game. The code is also posted at all major trailheads in New Hampshire. It includes the following safety guidelines: 1. Be prepared with appropriate knowledge and gear. Learn about the terrain and weather conditions for where you are going. Know how to use your gear. 2. Let someone else know your plans. Tell a friend what trails you will be hiking on and when you expect to return. 3. Hiking groups should stick together, and not let anyone become separated. Pace your hike to the slowest person in the group. 4. Hikers should always be ready to turn back if circumstances, such as changing weather, dictate. Know your limitations and be willing to turn back. You can always try again another day. 5. Hikers should be ready for emergencies. Even on an hour-long
hike, accidents can happen. Don’t expect to be rescued. Learn how you can help rescue yourself. 6. Share this code with other hikers. Most people think to wear sturdy shoes and bring bug spray, but there are 10 hiking essentials recommended by the NH Fish and Game Department. They include a map; a compass; clothing layers, including a hat; extra food and water; a flashlight or headlamp; matches/firestarters; first aid kit/repair kit; a whistle to call for help; a rain/wind jacket and pants; and a pocket knife. Although you might be starting your hike at a fairly low elevation, temperatures can drop and the wind can pick up as you climb further. That is why layers are so important. Also, cell phone coverage can be nonexistent in some hiking areas, so bringing a map and compass along is crucial. Another great tip is to hike with a buddy whenever you can — there is safety in numbers. And it’s a good idea to talk to park rangers before heading out on a new trail. They’ll be able to tell you how long the hike should take, what kind of terrain to expect, and anything else you may encounter on the trail. One detail that many hikers overlook is how short the daylight hours are in the fall. Take advantage of available daylight and set out as early in the day as you can. Have a good flashlight with you and spare batteries, in case you end up out after dark. If an emergency does happen, don’t panic. Call the New Hampshire State Police at 1-800-525-5555 or dial 911. Be as specific as you can about your emergency and your location, and provide a call-back number. I feel very lucky to live in a state that has so many wonderful hiking trails to explore. Take the proper precautions before setting out, and you’ll free up your mind to focus on the fresh air, the amazing views, and the beautiful displays of fall color.

LRCT To Lead Fall Hike Golf Tournament To Provide Food Assistance Along Scenic Brook Walk A nonprofit group organized in 2011 will sponsor a golf tournament in late October that will raise money to provide food to students in Wolfeboro, Ossipee, and Tuftonboro. End 68 Hours of Hunger will hold the nine-hole golf tournament at the Indian Mound Golf Club on Route 16B in Center Ossipee on Saturday, Oct. 25, at 5:30 p.m. Claire Bloom spearheaded the creation of End 68 Hours of Hunger in her hometown of Dover in 2011, recognizing that many youths go hungry between school lunches on Fridays and the breakfasts that schools provide on Mondays. Since its creation, the organization has expanded its reach to other towns in New Hampshire and Maine, providing food to 1,000 children in the past year. According to Tournament Director Corky Newcomb, there are 30 students between the ages of six and 11 in Ossipee, Tuftonboro, and Wolfeboro who go without food during those 68 hours each week. The all-volunteer group’s Oct. 25 event will raise money to help them, with 100 percent of the funds going to purchase food. Experts say that children cannot learn and succeed if they are hungry. Hunger creates mental and physical damage that can last a lifetime. “These children need proper and continuing nutrition to help their brains and their bodies develop to their full potential,” said Program Coordinator Sally Humer. “Whatever the issues are at home, it is not the children’s fault.”
With the money raised, volunteers will put food into bags on Thursdays and take them to the schools’ guidance departments for distribution to the children. The fundraiser will be the first tournament to feature Newcomb’s Nite4Life™ glow-in-the-dark golf balls, the newest version of the NiteLite™ golf ball he invented and has been producing in Tuftonboro since 1985. The glowing balls allow golfers to play at night. Among those who have tested and endorsed the Nite4Life™ golf ball are Jonathan Rivers, director of golf at Indian Mound; Paul Tessier, head golf pro at Bald Peak Colony Club in Moultonborough; Justin Barkley, head golf pro at Waukewan Golf Club in Center Harbor; Todd McKittrick, head golf pro at Manchester Country Club; Gordon Swennes, head golf pro at Wentworth By The Sea Country Club in Rye; and Kevin Bullard, two-time winner of the Remax Long Drive Championship, who drove the Nite4Life™ 400 yards. The cost of the tournament includes Nite4Life™ golf balls, a golf cart, and lighted accessories.

Poet Henri Cole Featured In Eagle Pond Authors’ Series The Eagle Pond Authors’ Series at Plymouth State University will offer a reading by award-winning poet Henri Cole on Thursday, Oct. 9, at 7 p.m. in the Smith Recital Hall at the Silver Center. Henri is considered a master artist. He is the author of eight books of poetry, with another forthcoming. He is the winner of numerous awards and fellowships, including the Lenore Marshall Poetry Award, the Jackson Poetry Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Rome Prize in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships. Cole has published foreign-language collections in Spanish, French, and Italian. Henri once wrote in an essay that, when he was eight, he received a typewriter for Christmas. “It was not intended as a gift to the poet I would one day become; rather, in our lower middle-class household, it was a reminder that business skills would be necessary to improve my circumstances in the world. Inexplicably, I understood a higher purpose of my machine-a-écrire to be the instrument of an artist.” Henri’s most recent published book
is Touch, a collection of poems that take up difficult relationships and experiences. In the early days, everything he wrote was autobiographical; but he said in an interview for the Paris Review, “To me, the facts of my life commemorated in a poem are the most boring part. It really is about process, about assembling language into poetry — this is where the satisfaction is. … It’s the medium of language that gives a poet style and originality.” Free tickets for the Eagle Pond Authors Series are available at the Silver Center Box Office, 603-5352787 or 800-779-3869. Now in its 17th year, the Eagle Pond Authors’ Series is a tribute to Donald Hall, one of the nation’s most beloved poets and authors. Donald remains the heart and soul of the series and is instrumental in bringing nationally and internationally revered poets to the PSU campus. He will be on hand to introduce Henri and both will stay after the reading for an author’s reception and book-signing. Information about the Eagle Pond Authors’ Series is online at www. plymouth.edu/silver-center.

Descendant of Salem ‘Witch’ To Speak In Gilmanton Margo Burns, the 10th generation greatgranddaughter of Rebecca Nurse, who was hanged in Salem MA in 1692 on the charge of witchcraft, will present a program based upon her research into the 17th century witchcraft trials on Tuesday, Oct. 14, at 7 p.m. at the Gilmanton Year-Round Library. On first impression, the witchcraft trials of the colonial era may seem to have been nothing but a free-for-all, fraught with hysterics. Margo, however, will discuss the array of prosecutions in New England, using facsimiles of primary-source manuscripts, from the first formal complaints to the arrest warrants, indictments and formal charges, and death warrants, as well as the reversals of attainder and the rescinding of excommunications years after the fact. The documents demonstrate how methodically
and logically the Salem Court worked. The program focuses on the Salem witchcraft trials of 1692 and 1693 when 19 people were hanged and one crushed to death, but it also examines a variety of other cases against women in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Margo is the project manager and an associate editor of Records of the Salem Witch-Hunt, published in 2009 by Cambridge University Press. The work is a definitive collection of transcriptions of the legal records of the episode. Margo currently works at St. Paul’s School in Concord where she is the director of the Language Center. The program, sponsored by the NH Humanities Council, is free and open to the public. The Gilmanton Year-Round Library is located on Route 140.

Camping In New Hampshire Heats Up In The Fall Autumn is always a popular time to go camping in New Hampshire: The temperatures are cool and the air is crisp and the landscape comes alive with vibrant colors. New Hampshire campgrounds provide a great base for fun activities such as hiking, leafpeeping, apple-picking, and fishing, and to enjoy the harvest festivals and Halloween-themed events. “New Hampshire has more than 180 private and public campgrounds in a variety of settings — along a river, lake, ocean, or mountain,” said Gregg Pittman, executive director of the NH Campground Owners Association (NeHaCa). “Many NeHaCa member campgrounds are open, providing campers with a home base for a wide variety of family-friendly attractions and fun, fall activities.” Each region of New Hampshire offers activities and attractions to build a weekend (or longer) camping trip around. The Lakes Region is home to 70,000 acres of pristine waterways, surrounded by mountains, woods, farmlands, quiet villages, and busy resort towns. The largest of the region’s 273 lakes and ponds is Lake Winnipesaukee, encompassing 72 square miles and a 200-mile shoreline; other popular waterways are Squam Lake, Lake Winnisquam, the Merrimack River, and Newfound Lake. On Winnipesaukee, cruise aboard
the M/S Mount Washington or the M/V Sophie C mail boat, the oldest floating U.S. Post Office. Hikers can explore trails of all skill levels and enjoy incredible views from Mount Major in Alton and Rattlesnake Mountain in Holderness. Families enjoy Squam Lake Science Center in Holderness, the Loon Center and Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough, the Wright Museum of World War II History in Wolfeboro, the NH Farm Museum in Milton, the Ashland Railroad Station Museum in Ashland, a restored Blacksmith Shop in Union, and the NH Antique Boat Museum in Wolfeboro. The region’s
central location also makes it an ideal base for day trips to visit other regions. The Monadnock Region offers a slow-paced camping experience. Small villages and traditional homes, churches, farms, and rolling countryside are set to the backdrop of Mount Monadnock, one of the most frequently climbed mountains on earth. A popular family event is the Keene Pumpkin Festival on Saturday, Oct. 18. Enjoy the Apple Hill Center in Nelson for chamber music, and Friendly Farm in Dublin to picnic and pet the farm animals. MacDowell Artist Colony in Peterborough is the oldest of its kind
in the nation, and the Cathedral of the Pines in Rindge is an outdoor shrine that honors the men and women who have died in service to our nation. Go hiking or biking at Miller State Park in Peterborough, or check out Pisgah State Park in the areas of Hinsdale, Winchester, and Chesterfield, for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, fishing, and boating. Outdoor enthusiasts find many opportunities — via foot, bicycle, horseback, kayak, boat, and ATV — to explore the striking landscape of the Dartmouth/Lake Sunapee Region. Hikers enjoy the Appalachian Trail and Mount Sunapee, plus hundreds of other trails ranging from easy to expert, while nationally acclaimed scenic byways beckon motorists and cyclists to experience spectacular vistas and landmarks such as the Pier Bridge, the longest wooden covered bridge in the world. Tour the region’s organic farms and find dining and relaxed shopping opportunities throughout the region’s quaint villages. The South Central Region is home to the vibrant cities of Concord, Manchester, and Nashua. Campgrounds are nestled along scenic byways, yet just a short distance from museums, fine dining, theater, attractions, and shopping. Enjoy history and art at the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester,

Tours and tastings are offered at the NH Winery in Henniker, and the Anheuser-Busch Plant in Merrimack, where the famous Budweiser Clydesdales are stabled. Renowned for its majestic peaks, natural beauty, and boundless recreation opportunities, the White Mountains Region is a great destination for the entire family. Avid hikers seek out the region for its 800,000-acre White Mountain National Forest, home to 48 peaks above 4,000 feet as well as the northeast’s tallest peak, Mount Washington, at 6,288 feet. But you need not hike to enjoy the area’s grandeur. Spectacular views are yours via the historic Mount Washington Auto Road and the Mount Washington Cog Railway, as well as gondolas, chairlifts, aerial tramways, and even helicopter tours. Or take a drive along the 30-mile Kancamagus Highway and National Scenic Byway (Route 112),
or climb aboard the Conway Scenic Railroad. Family attractions range from Story Land and Santa’s Village to the Polar Caves, Lost River Gorge & Boulder Caves, Clark’s Trading Post, and the Mount Washington Observatory and Weather Discovery Center. The unspoiled landscape of the Great North Woods Region is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Campers enjoy a refreshing blend of recreation and scenery, combined with the peace and quiet of the wilderness. Stretching up to the Canadian border with 97 percent of the land covered in forest, the Great North Woods region offers some of the best hunting, hiking, rock climbing, and ATVing in New Hampshire. Trails outnumber highways and wildlifewatching becomes a sport of its own, with the moose population upward of 3,500. ATVs have room to roam on Ride the Wilds, the Northeast’s largest (1,000+ miles) interconnected ATV
trail system. Visit the Connecticut lakes and the upper Connecticut River for great trout and salmon fishing, and Lake Umbagog to see where bald eagles nest. The Oct. 18 RiverFire festival in Berlin, located along the Androscoggin River, features fun Halloween-themed family activities and a spectacular carved jack’o’lantern display and river fire-lighting ceremony. The Seacoast Region features 18
miles of Atlantic coastline, with long, sandy beaches, working ports, offshore islands, and popular resort towns that date back nearly 400 years. At the hub of the region, the old port and downtown areas of the city of Portsmouth (settled in 1623) are home to brick-paved streets, historic buildings, art galleries, specialty shops, jazz clubs, sidewalk cafes, and award-winning restaurants. Strawbery Banke Museum provides an historic recreation of life in colonial days. A short drive away, Redhook Ale Brewery offers tours and casual dining. Tour the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire in Dover, the Seacoast Science Center in Rye, Great Bay Discovery Center and Great Bay Wildlife Reserve in Greenland, or Flag Hill Winery in Lee. History buffs will enjoy Exeter, one of the first four settlements in the state and its capital during the Revolutionary War. Canobie Lake Park in Salem is a popular family attraction, especially its Oktoberfest and Screeemfest activities during weekends in October. To find a campground, visit www. nhlovescampers.com.

NH Fighting Spirit Comes To Laconia By Thomas P. Caldwell With two local players and a new home at the Laconia Ice Arena, the NH Fighting Spirit hockey team is looking to build a strong Lakes Region following. The team had its home opener on Oct. 3 and will return to Laconia to play the New England Stars on Friday, Oct. 17, with game time at 6 p.m. The team, which split its first two games this season against the strong Cape Cod Islanders, has partnered with the NH Humane Society of Laconia, with the players volunteering to assist in the care and maintenance of the animals and the facility. Skating Specialist Lisa Simmons said the Fighting Spirit takes a unique approach, housing the team at Cedar Lodge at Brickyard Mountain in The Weirs. The coaches also stay there and they provide dinners each evening, as well as all meals on road trips. By living and working with the team members, they are able to instill in them a sense of total commitment. Owner and Head Coach Rod Simmons said they impose strict rules, including curfews, for the team members. On the ice, he emphasizes hard work, dedication, and constant progression. During one recent practice, he was stopping the players each time they got too wild with the puck, emphasizing the need to remain cool and focused. Both husband and wife have long coaching histories. Rod Simmons is entering his 26th year of coaching, from junior hockey in Canada to the NCAA.
Head Coach Rod Simmons addresses the NH Fighting Spirit players during a practice at the Laconia Ice Arena. (Photo: Tom Caldwell) Lisa Simmons brings 30-plus years of coaching experience and sports management to the program. She has been the power skating instructor for NHL and OHL teams as well as teaching individual professional, NCAA, and junior players. Associate Head Coach Ben Tefft is entering his eighth year as a coach and his third with the Fighting Spirit. He previously worked for the National Sports Academy in Lake Placid NY where he was the head coach of the Prep team. Lisa said she and her husband were at a prep school that had gone Junior A when the new Northern States Jun-
ior Hockey League formed and they bought into the franchise, forming the Fighting Spirit three years ago. Originally operating out of Lake George NY, they moved the team to Waterville Valley last year where the team advanced to the semifinals with 7-1 and 6-3 wins over the New England Stars at the Laconia Ice Arena. “We’ve really enjoyed Waterville but were looking for a larger community where our players can get involved,” said Rod, noting that “Laconia has a strong youth program.” The Northern States Junior Hockey League, according to the NH Fighting

Our common goal is to produce athletes that are committed to excellence in academics as well as athletics. All teams, coaches, and officials are committed to be positive influences that uphold a high standard of integrity and discipline.

While they do some recruiting themselves, many of the players come through referrals. “When schools know they have a player that they think fits, they’ll send us a video or ask us to visit the team,” Lisa said. Moultonborough will be closely following two players, Simon Campbell and Tim Casey, who served as cocaptains of the Moultonborough-InterLakes Renegades and played last year with the Manchester Monarchs. The two had been best friends at Moultonborough Academy before progressing to the juniors.

The Antiquing Trail By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper When I was a kid, the last thing I wanted to do was go to an antiques shop or yard sale. I had more than my fill of both because my parents were sort of like those guys on the television show Great American Pickers. My mother thought nothing of loading up every available space in our car with old, rusted tinware and dirt-encrusted “junk” (known on the American Pickers show as rusty gold). She gleefully cleaned off years of dust from those objects, stripped away the rust and chipped paint, and gave everything, from old milk cans to tin spice boxes, new life with beautiful decorations in paint, known as Early American Decorative Painting. My father was just as bad as my mother when it came to buying antiques, but he could be more shameless. I recall squirming in embarrassment as he offered some old Yankee trader a low price for a barnful of farm tables, caneseated chairs, and gosh knows what else. (Little did I realize those old trader types loved the dance of dickering with guys like my Dad.) My childhood was peppered with trips to remote barns, basements, and falling-down shacks while my parents bought, sold, and traded antiques. “I will never, ever, spend one moment buying this crap,” I recall thinking as a know-it-all teenager. Well, somehow over the years, I inherited my parents’ love of old SINCE 1928
things. It probably started when I was a penniless college student; Finding great bargain outfits in thrift shops was a good way to clothe myself cheaply. One thing led to another and I saw there was a lot to be said for buying used goods and antiques. There was history in those old objects; there was a recycling mindset I liked; and there was often the “buy it for $5 and maybe resell it for $100” business side to antiquing. Admittedly, I have bought and sold antiques over the years, but these days I visit antiques shops for the pure thrill of the hunt and often to learn about the past. I have some favorite shops I visit each summer. The following is just a partial list. Whether it is a hot summer’s day or a cold February Saturday, there is no better place to spend a few hours than at the Laconia Antique Center. Located on Main Street in downtown Laconia (in the former Bloom’s Variety Store building), the shop is huge and offers two floors of dealer booths, chock full of everything from jewelry to pottery and books to furniture and more. I have found some wonderful treasures at the shop, such as two Native American leather and beaded items: a pair of child’s moccasins and a purse. I couldn’t believe the reasonable price I paid (part of the thrill is finding bargain prices now and then) and I treasure those pieces of the past. Added to this is the fact that the shop

October 6, 2014 week on a hot summer’s day, or on a weekday in the late fall when the air is cold and many tourists have returned home. I have as long as I wish to browse and sometimes I have the shop to myself. It is cozy and relaxing and a wonderful place to visit. (I love the invitation on the shop’s website (www. goldenpastantiques.com): “Enjoy our free coffee! Be sure to tell us about your favorite antiquing adventures — and we’ll share ours, too.” Whenever I drive on Route 3/Daniel Webster Highway between Meredith and Weirs Beach, I make a point to stop at Paws Antiques. Located in a sprawling barn-like building, the shop has a lot to offer and I never leave without a new treasure or learning something new about antiques. Paws is set up as a group shop and there are a number of booths full of the wares of individual dealers. This is a great place to find small antiques, whether an old piece of china to finish off a collection or a daguerreotype or a small print or something that just catches your fancy. There are areas where furniture is displayed and the shop also has beautiful jewelry and other specialty items. Open daily, Paws has something for every antique lover. These days, everyone loves going to a flea market. Perhaps it is because of the many junking/flea market shows on television or just the renewed interest in
• Day Tripping Continued from page 25 with more than 22,000 feet of dealer space and lots of unique things. The Tuftonboro area is a special place for me. In the summer, scenery abounds on its many back roads. The town also is the home of Golden Past Antiques, a place I discovered when I was a bit lost on my way to Wolfeboro some years ago. Located at 176 Middle Road in Center Tuftonboro, the shop is in an older, rustic building. Every time I visited, a very friendly lady greets me (sometimes I wonder if she ever leaves because she is always there, ready to chat or answer questions!). The shop is one large room with many cozy little side rooms off the central area. Each is chock full of great stuff and I almost always see something I never knew existed. It’s always an education and a fun one at that. Five dealers have stocked the shop with a variety of smaller antiques from the 1850s to 1950s (approximate time period). From Victorian tablecloths to jewelry to yellowware bowls to tinware, old photos, kitchenware, and oh so much more, the Golden Past really does represent the golden past of America. My favorite times to visit the shop are late in the day or mid-afternoon, mid-

repurposing furniture and other items for home décor. Whatever the reason, a good flea market is worth getting up early for on a weekend morning. I can’t think of any better reason to be on the road by 6:30 on a Sunday morning in the summer than to get to Davisville. The flea market is located in the village of Davisville and it is admittedly a bit of a drive from the Lakes Region, but always, always worth it. Get to Davisville by taking Route 106 to Concord, then taking Interstate-89 to Exit 7. Or take my back-road, nifty way of getting to Davisville and you may have the added bonus of finding yard sales along the way. I don’t care for interstates with speeding cars. Give me a great, scenic road any day. My route takes me from Laconia to Franklin, then it is a left turn onto Route 3. After a few miles, I take a right onto Route 127 (you will see signs for the Daniel Webster Birthplace). Stay on that road through Webster (you are just about assured to find at least a few Sunday morning yard sales on that road in the summer) until you see signs for Davisville, which is located at 881 NH Route 103. The Davisville flea market has tons to offer and I just love it. I’ve never left empty-handed, and the earlier you arrive, the better. But plan to spend at least a few hours, as more dealers arrive to sell their wares — some early and some later — and there are always good pickings. The dealers set up in a big field and sell right out of their cars or the back of their pickup trucks or they set up tables to display their items for sale. Some dealers have just small things and others go all-out, with tables, chairs,
signs, books, clothing, and more. Last summer, I arrived early and found some great old items and thought I was done shopping when I spied a dealer selling hand-dyed wool for rug hooking. We got talking and found out we both love rug hooking; she brought out her “secret stash” of wool and patterns from a big bin in the back of her car and I came away with a lot of new wool. The moral of this flea market story? Don’t be afraid to ask the dealers if they have more of something you like. You can play it coy and pretend you don’t want what they have in a bid to keep the price low or you can opt to ask for special items. Once they know you are really interested, you might get a package price/deal. The flea market sells homemade doughnuts and coffee and also has live music, courtesy of local musicians who set up and perform in the field. Live music, homemade doughnuts … and tons of antiques? I feel like I’ve gone to heaven every time I visit Davisville and I always come away with something unique and fun. There are so many more antiques shops in the Lakes Region and most are just a drive away. How do you find them? I suggest you just get in your car –— and drive. You will find what you are looking for if you are dedicated to taking major roads, but especially secondary roads, to some of the best and most unique shops in New Hampshire. As the Great American Pickers are known to say when their show films in New Hampshire, junking here is truly the honey hole of all antique spots!

‘Dracula’ May Help Save a Life Northeastern Ballet Theatre has entered into a partnership with the charitable organization Love Hope Strength (LHS) for its upcoming production of “Dracula” on Saturday, Oct. 18. By visiting the LHS booth during the show, patrons will be able to “get on the list” and perhaps save a life by being a match for a bone marrow transplant. LHS was founded in 2007 by leukemia survivors Mike Peters of the Welsh rock band The Alarm and James Chippendale, president of Ascend Insurance Brokerage. As the world’s leading rock-and-roll cancer foundation, LHS raises its funds primarily through musical pilgrimages to sites like Mount Everest, Mount Fuji, and Machu Picchu. Rather than funding cancer research, LHS focuses on building and supporting cancer centers around the world, boosting awareness of global cancer needs and expanding the international bone marrow databases. Taste for 108was Years OneServing of LHS’sGreat accomplishments
purchasing Nepal’s first mammography and internal radiation machines and funding the construction of the first children’s cancer center in Tanzania. Through its partnership with Delete Blood Cancer, LHS frequently spearheads bone marrow drives at concerts and major musical events like Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and Austin City Limits. LHS has added thousands of people to the national marrow database and found hundreds of matches for patients in need of bone marrow transplants. Headquartered in Denver, LHS now has chapters in the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Australia. For more information about LHS, visit www. lovehopestrength.org. Northeastern Ballet Theatre’s production of “Dracula” will begin at 7 p.m. on Oct. 18 at the Kingswood Arts Center in Wolfeboro. For tickets and information, visit www.

Brad Washburn Maps Available Online Bradford Washburn is famous as an explorer, mountaineer, photographer, and cartographer. He is credited for first ascents and creating new routes on many major Alaskan peaks. He also established the use of aerial photography for analyzing mountains and planning expeditions. In addition, Washburn created maps of various mountain ranges, including the Presidential Range in New Hampshire. Washburn had a long tenure as director of Boston’s Museum of Science but, in the Lakes Region, he is well-known for his detailed survey of Squam Lake in the 1960s. He produced five editions of his Squam Lake Chart, still widely used today. The first, in 1936, was simply a tracing of a mosaic of vertical aerial photos taken in 1935 from an airplane flying at 10,000 feet. His 1948, 1954, and 1962 editions included refinements and a modest amount of new information. Later in the 1960s, he spent a tremendous amount of time surveying Squam Lake and the surrounding area in detail, building an extensive and extremely accurate, threedimensional database. He used the new information for the major upgrade (1968)
to the Squam Lake Chart, and eventually for his map of the Squam Range in 1973. The 1968 edition of the lake chart not only had huge improvements in accuracy; it featured contour lines on the land surrounding the lake and a 300-foot grid of depth soundings, 99 percent of which were taken in the winter through the laborious process of drilling more than 3,000 holes in the ice. For the first time, those in-depth maps of Squam Lake are available online, thanks to the efforts of Holderness resident and Squam Lakes Natural Science Center volunteer Tom Stepp. Tom researched, scanned, and labeled maps from the Washburn collection at the Science Center. Lovers of maps, property owners around Squam Lake, students of history, and people interested in the extraordinary life of Brad Washburn now have a chance to view the original work plans. Brad Washburn’s Squam Lake maps are posted at www.nhnature.org/visit/ washburn.php and also are available by going to nhnature.org and following the Your Visit link to the Brad Washburn Squam Lake Maps.

April Verch and Band Coming To Wolfeboro April Verch and Band, known for their skills at fiddle, string bass, banjo, guitar, and step-dancing, will bring their high-spirited musical fusion of Canada’s Ottawa Valley folk tradition with Celtic, jazz, and bluegrass to the Lakes Region on Saturday, Oct. 18, at 7:30 p.m. Sponsored by Wolfeboro Friends of Music, the concert will take place at Brewster Academy’s Anderson Hall at 205 South Main Street, Wolfeboro. April Verch, who was proclaimed “a world-class fiddler” by Grammy Award-winner Sam Bush, is in the second decade of her career as an internationally touring artist. She is the first woman to win both of Canada’s most prestigious fiddle awards: the Grand Masters in 1997 and the Canadian Open in 1998. Garrison Keillor took note and, in 2001, he invited her to appear on NPR’s “A Prairie Home Companion”. She also performed in the opening ceremonies at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. April was immersed in folk music and dance from her native Ottawa Valley, a melting pot of Franco-Celtic flavors brought by the hard-working loggers who settled the area. She followed
her older sister into step-dancing at age three, picked up the fiddle at age six, appeared on Canada’s “Tommy Hunter Show” at age 10, made her first recorded album at 13, and, by age 15, attended Mark O’Connor’s worldrenowned Nashville Fiddle Camp, later returning as an instructor. At the compelling recommendation of her mentors, she studied classical violin also and, in 1998, went off to Berklee College of Music in Boston. The April Verch Band also features seasoned bassist and clawhammer banjo player Cody Walters and guitarist Hayes Griffin who just completed his master’s degree in Contemporary Improvisation at the New England Conservatory. The trio has toured across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, and China. In addition to being available at the door, tickets are available at Black’s Paper Store and Avery Insurance in Wolfeboro; Innisfree Bookshop in Meredith; by calling 603-5692151; or at www.wfriendsofmusic. org. High school students with ID are admitted free of charge, as are children accompanied by adult ticketpurchasers.

John Harrigan To Speak at Farm Bureau Annual Meeting Outdoorsman and columnist John Harrigan will be the guest speaker during the annual meeting of the Belknap County Farm Bureau on Friday, Oct. 17, at the Gilmanton Community Church. The business meeting will be preceded by a pork dinner at 6:15 p.m. Reservations for the meal are due by Oct. 10. John Harrigan has worked at about every job one can think of, from farm hand to caddy to furniture-maker. He worked at cutting pulp and at hunting and fishing camps. A high school dropout, he broke into journalism, fresh
from serving as a certified softwood grader at Milford’s Lorden Lumber C o m p a n y . After working for various newspapers and magazines, he became owner, editor, and publisher of three weekly newspapers as well as founding the Coos Junction Press, New H a m p s h i r e ’s northernmost w e b - p r e s s newspaper plant. He is in his 46th year of journalism and writes an outdoors column for the New Hampshire Sunday News as well as a separate column for the Meredith-based Salmon Press newspapers.
John lives on a farm in Colebrook where he is fond of saying he has a 35-mile view encompassing one state (New Hampshire) and two foreign countries — Lower Quebec and Vermont. During his talk for the Farm Bureau, John will speak about coyotes, wolves, and the declining moose population.

Annalee Dolls To Celebrate 80 Years This year marks the 80th anniversary of Annalee Thorndike’s creation of the timeless, wireframed felt dolls that carry her name. Annalee Dolls, in business since 1934, will hold its 80th anniversary celebration on Columbus Day weekend, Oct. 11 - 13 at the Annalee Gift Shop in Meredith. Hours will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Annalee Dolls has been a New Hampshire tradition since 1934 when Annalee decided to turn her
childhood hobby into a business to support her family. The onceupon-a-time story shows how a doll-making cottage industry could make it big. Today, the magic and whimsy of the dolls continues with a brand people recognize worldwide. They bring New England charm and Yankee ingenuity to the world of holiday gift-giving and seasonal decorating. The same techniques in the

artwork, wire-frames, and felt used by the founder are still used to this day. Annalee’s famous motto, “If you smile, someone else has got to smile back!” is infused into each design, along with her thoughtful method of positioning each doll so it tells a story. Annalee Dolls’ celebration will involve in-store specials, door prizes worth $80, sales on more than 80 styles, and a display of 80 elves. Visitors will be able to watch dolls being made in the design workshop, enjoy refreshments while learning about Annalee’s 80-year history, and have their portraits drawn in the Annalee style. Visitors also will have an opportunity to make a day of it by
