50 Years of Loving Nature

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Photos courtesy Squam Lakes Natural Science Center

It started with an idea to preserve the area’s natural assets. The year was 1965 and the “area” encompassed about 180 acres in Holderness. Imagine life 50 years ago; in the 1960s the push was on to get back to nature and to save beloved green spaces. Those who lived in the Squam Lake area were well aware what a gem they had in the quiet, clean Holderness region. They wanted to preserve some of the land and offer it to the public to enjoy.

Ask anyone whom the concerned citizens were and you will get different answers. Certainly the local Chamber of Commerce was involved, as well as local schools, including the school board members and summer resident/ director of the Boston Museum of Science Brad Washburn. Many local people helped lead the charge, and the names are too numerous to list.

By 1966, a lot had been done: the original 180 acres was purchased with money raised from the community.

Following this, the old Holderness Inn and surrounding facilities and a tract of land atop Mt. Fayal was purchased

with money donated by Frank Webster.

With the Holderness Inn acquisition, a small piece of land on Little Squam was included and it would prove to be a valuable asset for future lake programs.

The Davison family had owned the Holderness Inn and its land and it had served as a lodging facility for many years. The inn was a large, airy building with great access right

on Rt. 3 in Holderness. According to www.nhnature.org, “The present Holderness Inn was built in 1895 after the original (built in 1874) burned down. It provided food and lodging for hundreds of summer visitors.”

In 1966, the Squam Lakes Science Center was incorporated as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. In that decade, the push was on to save the

land and to educate the public about the importance of wildlife preservation.

In previous years, just about the only way to see a live animal up close was at a zoo. The new Science Center would change all that when it got the ball rolling with the first major hire of Gilbert “Gib” Merrill as executive director in 1967. Staff also was hired.

There was a lot to do to prepare the Inn and the land to meet the Center’s goals.

(The original mission statement was: 1) to be a museum of natural, scientific, cultural and historical subjects; 2) to educate school children and others in the fundamentals of natural science; 3) to serve as a training center for environmental education; and 4) to be a natural sciences resource center.)

The year 1969 served as the Center’s actual “birth year.” On July 1, 1969, the Center opened its door for the first summer season with lecture demonstrations in the barn auditorium, two hiking trails on Mt. Fayal and live animal exhibits. This was very unique for the time and was immediately popular with the public. When one visits the Center today, there are acres of

• Yesteryear Continued from page 3 trails and many programs and exhibits so it is hard to imagine the modest size of the facility in 1969. The live animal exhibits included a small mammal hut, snake island, bird and reptile hut, deer knoll, goose pond, bobcat glen, frog pond hut and three exhibits of life in early NH. The early life area included a blacksmith shop, sap house, and steamoperated sawmill.

Says Janet Robinson, Development and Communications Director at the Science Center, “People loved the blacksmith shop and remember it all these years later. We still have people ask if we are going to bring it back!”

From the start, education was important, and in 1969, pilot school programs were started for grades 3-12.

Topics included Biology of Birds, the Story of Reproduction and Sound and Hearing.

Gaining a great collection of live animals was probably helped by the fact that the director had a collection of exotic animals; he had worked at the Boston Museum of Science where live animals were of great importance.

The spacious old Holderness Inn would serve for about 15 years as the Center’s first classrooms, office space, workshop and animal care facility.

(The inn was closed in 1982 when the Science Center built a new education facility.)

Today, those who visit the Center

will see volunteers serving in a number of capacities. Their donated time and expertise help with everything from cleaning to tours to office work and making sure programs run smoothly.

As early as 1970, the Center was

recruiting volunteers, even though the facility was modest in size compared to today. The Science Center Volunteer Group was organized, starting with 20 people and www.nhnature.org tells us the volunteers were “housewives, teachers, doctors, students, nurses and others who have indicated an interest in label research, art work, carpentry, trail work, and gadgeteering.”

During the 1970s, the Science Center mission narrowed its focus to specialize in natural science education and more fully utilize the fields, forests, streams, and ponds on the property as a unique outdoor classroom. While offering many educational programs for schools groups, naturalists also began taking science education and wild animal ambassadors right into schools across the state.

A charming hand-drawn map of the Center from 1975 shows the steam powered sawmill, the sap house, frog pond, picnic grove, Bear Facts Exhibit building; currently the popularity of the live animals cannot be underestimated.

Most people assume the Center acquire the live animals when a wild creature is injured, such as a deer being hit by a car and needing medical care.

That assumption is partially correct, and according to Janet Robertson, people indeed brought injured animals to the Center in the early days. These days, the Center works with the NH Fish and Game; from time to time, they ask the Center to take in and help injured animals. (Indeed, the first live bears came from NH Fish and

The year 1973 was important for the Science Center; the original mission statement was narrowed to focus on natural science education and to make use of the 200-acre property as an outdoor classroom by adding school programs to be taught outside.

A committee titled the Friends of the Science Center organized the growing volunteer list.

The following year, 1974, saw a new animal room facility in the old Holderness Inn and the opening of the first bear exhibit. The Second Annual Squam Lakes Science Center Benefit Horse Show took place in the new, permanent horse ring.

In 1978, the Science Center Environmental Theatre opened with “Harry the Hare Finds His Friends” and “Loon Homecoming.”

The visibility of the Science Center was soon expanded; in 1980-1981, NH Public Television collaborated with the Center to product an educational series called “Up Close and Natural” for children K-grade 3.

Change came in 1983 when the Webster Education Building was completed with a new access road and parking lot. That year, the name was changed to the Science Center of New Hampshire. New exhibit buildings were constructed and a new marsh was dug.

The Science Center’s lake cruises

have become very popular with visitors and it all started in 1983 with the purchase of a pontoon boat for lake ecology classes. In the 1990s the Science Center began offering naturalist-led cruises on Squam Lake that remain popular today. The cruises changed and grew over the years and now include daily offerings from May through October focusing on the natural history, ecology, and wildlife of Squam Lake.

In 1995, ground was broken for Kirkwood Gardens on property adjacent to the Holderness Inn on Route 3, featuring plants attractive to birds and butterflies. The current mission of the Science Center - to advance understanding of ecology by exploring New Hampshire’s natural world - was adopted on January 1, 2000 and still is the mission today.

In the early 1990s, children’s summer day camp programs began and offered youngsters a chance to get up close to live animals and learn about nature in a fun, interactive environment.

The Center that started with a few ponds, a handful of live animals and some history displays grew and reached a much higher status with accreditation by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) in 2006 and 2011 (each term is five years). The accreditation process evaluates every facet of a zoo or aquarium, making sure that an institution meets the highest standards for animal management and care, including living environments, social groupings, health, nutrition, and enrichment. The process also evaluates the veterinary program, involvement in conservation and research, education

programs, safety policies and procedures, security, physical facilities, guest services, and the quality of staff.

Successful accreditation means an institution is among the best in the world. The Science Center continues to be the only institution in northern New England currently accredited by the AZA. Another special addition occurred in 2010 with the opening of the Blue Heron School. The school is the first nature-based Montessori early learning center in New Hampshire designed for children ages 3 to 6.

Throughout the years the Science Center has seen name changes - Squam Lakes Science Center (1966), Science Center of New Hampshire (1983), and Squam Lakes Natural Science Center (2000) - but the overall goals of educating the public and conserving the land have remained constant.

What started with the idea of preserving the natural beauty of the Holderness area to share with others has grown by leaps and bounds over the 50 years of the Science Center’s existence. Volunteers and staff have all contributed and the area is what it is today due to their dedication and drive.

Janet Robertson reflects, “I have been here since 1993 and I have seen a lot of growth, such as new facilities, accessible trails and ramping up marketing. As a non profit we rely on memberships and donations; right now we have about 3,800 members.”

The staff is busy planning a Golden Anniversary Gala, which will take place on July 23. The celebration will start with cocktails and appetizers and a bar, followed by dinner and dancing

to the music of Annie and the Orphans.

“Our cocktail hour will take place at the new Water Management Pavilion and the dinner and dancing will be on the property under a tent. The event runs from 5 to 10 pm, and you can reserve tickets at 968-7194,” Janet explains.

Two wonderful new books have come out this year in time for the 50th anniversary. 50 Nature Activities for Kids by Science Center Senior Naturalist, Dave Erler, caters to children and families, teaching interactive and stimulating activities that will help adults and youngsters learn about the natural world. Many of the projects are strongly focused on plant-based or animal-based activities, which encourage exploration outside.

The book also features many indoor activities that still strengthen ecological understanding for what’s beyond our walls and ceiling.

A new souvenir coffee table sized book about the Science Center has also been published, due to the many requests of visitors for such a book.

Nearer to Nature by Margaret Gillespie fulfills that goal. Both books can be purchased in the Science Center’s Howling Coyote gift shop.

If the first 50 years are a measuring stick, the future will surely see even more growth at the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center. That is very good news for the visitors who delight in all the area offers every year.

The Center is open daily from May 1 through November 1. For further information about the Science Center, call 968-7194 or visit www.nhnature. org.

Jimmy Buffett Tribute at Great Waters Changes In Latitudes is the country’s premier tribute show to honor singer songwriter Jimmy Buffett, the master of the tropical life style. The show will transform the Kingswood Arts Center in Wolfeboro into the ultimate beach party on Friday, July 8 at 7:30 pm as they transport you to somewhere between the Caribbean and the South Pacific, to take you to “Mardi-Gras” and “Carnival”. The show, presented

by Great Waters Music Festival, is good clean fun, and can be enjoyed by the whole family, while still being appreciated by the “adult” crowds. The aim is to offend no one, and entertain everyone. Every show is a party, with leis and beach balls flying, and dancing conga lines.

Changes In Latitudes recreates the complete Jimmy Buffett concert experience with amazing authenticity.

With a full tropical stage set-up, you will believe that you are at a Buffett show before they play a note. Leader Steve Kareta mimics Jimmy’s casual, storyteller style, taking you on a laidback musical trip through the sundrenched waters of the Caribbean.

Changes In Latitudes have been working their way around the country for 10 years, and have garnered the title of the most authentic Jimmy Buffett tribute show in the country, earning rave reviews from the most discerning

of audiences, the “Parrothead” Clubs (official Jimmy Buffett fan clubs).

Following Jimmy’s recent foray back to his country roots, Changes In Latitudes covers material off Buffett’s more recent albums like “Hey Good Looking” and his duet with Martina McBride, “Trip Around The Sun”. You can expect to hear such Buffett classics as “Margaritaville”, “Come Monday”, and, of course, “Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes”, as well as other crowd-pleasing favorites, like “Brown Eyed Girl”, “Scarlet Begonias”, “Another Saturday Night”, and the Alan Jackson/Jimmy Buffett smash hit “It’s Five O’clock Somewhere.”

Attendees are encouraged to dress casually in colorful Hawaiian shirts and get together after the show at the Kingswood Greenside Tavern hosted

by Morrissey’s Steak House for more music and Margaritas!

July Fun at the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center Summer means live animals and insects and birds and reptiles at the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness. The month of July is busy at the Center with all sorts of family-related events.

On Friday, July 1 The 2016 StoryWalk Opening Celebration brought crowds to the Holderness Town Gazebo. Featured this year is Around the Pond: Who’s Been Here

by Lindsay Barrett George. In the tale, two youngsters set out to pick blueberries for pie but are soon distracted by telltale signs they observe and items they find along an old deer path around the pond. With each discovery, they ask, “Who’s been here?” The next stop on the StoryWalk provides the answer.

Get outside and enjoy this free fun family activity, presented in partnership with the Holderness Library and Holderness Recreation Department.

Find StoryWalk surrounding the Holderness Town Gazebo located behind the Post Office at Curry Place.

Nature Play Time is scheduled for Wednesday, July 6 and 20 from 10 to 11 am. The program offers a chance for children ages 3 and under to join in some unstructured play in nature.

Participants will play in a shallow stream with buckets and scoops one week and play in the forest walking on log balance beams, and making stick forts the next week. Children can come once or more than once. This program will be held outdoors so please dress accordingly. Pre-registration is a must.

H2Ooooh! Day takes place on Thursday, July 7 from 9:30 am to 5 pm, celebrating water and its many uses. Meet aquatic animals such as turtles, beaver, and osprey at Up Close to Animals presentations. See the river otters get a special fishy treat. Visit with a docent at the Shaping Watersheds exhibit at the new Water Matters Pavilion

and learn how watersheds work. Artist Christine Destrempes of Art for Water will be at the Stream of Conscience art exhibit in the Trailhead Gallery from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm. She will share the inspiration for her art and work with visitors to add their own thoughts to the Stream of Conscience exhibit. Stream of Conscience is made possible by generous funding from the Steinwachs Family Foundation, an anonymous donor, the Science Center’s Innovative Project Fund, and Cottage Place on Squam Lake. All H2Ooooh! Day activities are included for free as part of the trail admission fee.

On Tuesday, July 12 and 26 from 9:30 to 11:30 am, Invasive Species Removal Days offers adults the chance to join Master Gardener Liz Stevens to learn how to identify and remove invasive plant species. Participants will begin each session with a brief introduction to an invasive species and then head out onto the Science Center grounds to learn and practice techniques for removing that species from an area.

Learn skills to apply to removing invasive species from your own property.

Snacks and lemonade will be provided to wrap up the work sessions. Wear sturdy shoes and bring work gloves, water, insect repellent and sunscreen.

There is no charge for the program, but please pre-register.

Short Hikes Alongside Newfound Lake Story and photos by Thomas P. Caldwell Newfound Lake, surrounded by the towns of Bristol, Alexandria, Hebron, and Bridgewater, is a glacial lake that, on its western side, reaches a depth of 180 feet. Fed by the Fowler River in Alexandria and the Cockermouth River in Hebron, it empties into the Newfound River in Bristol, effectively flushing the pollutants that trouble many other bodies of water.

Holding onto its reputation as the “cleanest lake east of the Mississippi River”, Newfound Lake has attracted holiday tourists and summer residents for a century and a half. Whether staying at a cabin colony in the earlier days or a condominium in modern times, people have been attracted to the public beaches operated by the state or town, the opportunity for fishing and boating, and the summer camps for children.

Many of those visitors are either unaware of New Hampshire Audubon’s Paradise Point Nature Center and Wildlife Sanctuary in Hebron, or they have never taken the opportunity to visit it. Those who do are often pleasantly surprised at the many plant and animal species they have to observe, and the experience of a natural setting so close to popular lake activities.

Today, just down the road from Paradise Point—situated between the nature center and New Hampshire Audubon’s Hebron Marsh Sanctuary— is a new conservation area known as Grey Rocks, with short trails through the watershed where the Cockermouth River empties into the lake, and alongside the channel that once served a commercial marina.

Because the trails are relatively short, it is possible to hike all the trails at Paradise Point and Grey Rocks in a single day, and still have a chance to enjoy the experience at a leisurely pace.

As natives of the Newfound Region, we had been aware of the 43-acre Paradise Point Nature Center since it opened in 1969, but only in the last few years have we taken the opportunity to visit the sanctuary. The first time was in the early spring, before the nature center was even open for the season, and there was still snow and ice on the trails. For that visit, we stuck mainly to the red-tagged Elwell Trail, a relatively easy, three-quarter-mile trail that loops through the central lowlands, extending to the rocky point with a panoramic

The trail, named after Colonel Alcott Elwell and Helen Chaffee Elwell, who donated the land to the New Hampshire Charitable Fund in the early 1960s, leads through some beautiful hemlock trees before descending into a deciduous forest of red maples and beeches. After reaching the point, where yellow birch growing around the rocks formed what Paradise Point calls a giraffe tree, the trail loops back to the nature center, on the way intersecting with some of the other trails, but, more importantly, passing through some oldgrowth forest with two huge pine trees, the Elwell Memorial Pines, that are more than 100 years old.

This year, we felt late June would be a good time to return to Paradise Point and hit the Ridge Trail, with yellow markers, and the Lakeside Trail, with blue markers, which together form a one-mile loop. At the end, we extended the hike by taking the white-tagged Loop Trail for another one-third mile.

To get to the well-marked Ridge Trail, one first has to take the northern part of the Elwell Trail, and there we encountered some of the only mosquitoes we’ve experienced this year. The insects persisted for a while after we got onto the Ridge Trail, until

we made the rather steep climb that brought us close to North Shore Road.

(During our visit, there was a detour before the climb because the plank bridge over a small pond was missing, but the detour was short, allowing us to rejoin the original Ridge Trail just a

little farther along.)

Gaining the ridge, we were free of mosquitoes, but their annoyance was replaced by the sound of traffic on North Shore Road, and we had glimpses of the passing vehicles. Soon, however the trail turned away from the road and entered a beautiful hardwood forest. After weaving among the trees, it descended again to reveal a large boulder with smaller rocks forming something of a cave, and we wondered what animal might take refuge there.

Finally, the Ridge Trail reached the point of land where the water lapping on the rocks provided a soothing sound to put us in a tranquil mood. We had a choice of taking the Elwell Trail back or continuing on, so we went on, following the Lakeside Trail, which, as its name suggests, stayed just a few feet from the rocky shore.

The Lakeside Trail, while displaying its blue markers, was not as wellmarked as the Ridge Trail, and there were a couple of occasions where the trail narrowed and we thought we had missed a turn from being distracted by the beauty of the lake itself. Once we even backtracked to an apparent fork, only to find out we had taken the right direction, after all. The narrowed path would open again, and a marker around the next corner would let us know we had it right.

• Hikes Continued from page 17 edge, we realized we’d arrived back at the nature center, but the white markers for the Loop Trail took us around the building and kept us at water’s edge as we rounded the final turn of the peninsula.

We had taken the hike at the end of a hot afternoon, after the nature center had closed for the day, and we had the area pretty much to ourselves. We were surprised, therefore, to hear the sound of conversations and children’s laughter. Initially thinking it was coming from a boat on the water, we realized it actually was coming from a house on a tiny island a short distance from the shore. A family apparently was enjoying barbecue at their piece of heaven on Newfound Lake.

The Loop Trail took us back to the parking lot, and we left with a renewed appreciation of Paradise Point.

Paradise Point, which New Hampshire Audubon acquired from the New Hampshire Charitable Fund in 1966, now is open daily from dawn to dusk, with the nature center open from 10 am to 4 pm, offering special programs to introduce children and adults to the plants and animals of the sanctuary.

Nearby, and formerly the site of a commercial marina, Grey Rocks Conservation Area is now under the management of the Newfound Lake Region Association, which is working at restoring the property to more natural conditions. It has established a 1.5-mile trail system with bridges and signs identifying the flora and fauna

one may encounter.

We first took the Sandy Point Trail, which runs alongside the marine channel, first passing the foundations of the buildings that once served the marina. A pleasant walk through the bushes, the path ends at water’s edge.

Returning along Sandy Point, we took a left turn onto the Floodplain Loop Trail, which wends its way along a path through the trees and over boardwalks in marshy areas, offering views of the Cockermouth along the way. At a turn in the trail, there is an observation platform with placards identifying the animals that inhabit the area.

To get to the longer River Walk Trail, one must walk a short distance along North Shore Road, then take a left into the woods. The trail makes a loop to the river and back, with bridges and observation platforms to provide better footing and a place to stand and observe nature.

The pleasant walks are but a part of what the Newfound Lake Region Association is doing with Grey Rocks. The organization is developing a comprehensive plan using permaculture principles to build structures, make modifications to the natural environment, and provide activities to promote the sustainability of the environment.

Allowable uses now include launching non-motorized, carryin boats from a ramp, fishing, and taking an Eco-Tour, which the NLRA provides on its pontoon boat. For more information on the Eco-Tours, call 744-8689.

Regatta winner Colin Mosgrove of Needham, MA with Mark Whitehead, Commodore of the Back Bay Skippers, who hosted the competition.

New Hampshire Boat Museum’s Regional Model Sail Boating Regatta Results Top radio-controlled model sail boat sailors from around New England came to Wolfeboro on June 18 for the American Modem Yacht Association Region 1 One-Meter Soling Championship Regatta. The prestigious regional event was sponsored by the New Hampshire Boat Museum’s Back Bay Skippers.

The first place winner was Colin Mosgrove of Needham, MA; second place went to Don Ouimette of Plantsville, CT; and third place to Cliff Martin of Medway, MA. The Back Bay Skippers are sponsored in 2016 by Eldridge and Gillespie, P.C. of Wolfeboro. For information about the Back Bay Skippers, visit the Museum website.

The New Hampshire Boat Museum is open to the public for the 2016 season daily through Monday, October 10 from 10 am to 4 pm on Monday through Saturday and noon to 4 pm on Sunday.

The Museum is a not-for-profit institution that focuses on the social history of life on New Hampshire’s lakes and the state’s important fresh water boating traditions. It is located two miles from downtown Wolfeboro at 399 Center Street, Wolfeboro Falls, in the former Allen “A” Resort dance hall.

Seldom Playrights Coming to Cate Park The second week of the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand summer concert series will feature a newcomer band to the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee.

The Seldom Playrights will make their bandstand debut on Saturday, July 9 in Cate Park.

The Seldom Playrights are five musicians brought together by their love of old school country music, as played by the likes of Merle Haggard, George Jones, Buck Owens, Marty Stuart, Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris and Dwight Yoakam, among others.

Jim Lamond, who has played with Susan Tedeschi, Mark Erelli and Joyce Andersen, is the band’s bass player and one of the band’s vocalists.

Bruce Derr, who has played with The Molenes and Mainesqueeze, is the band’s pedal steel player, while Rob Kneeland, who has been part of High Range, chips in on vocals and also plays drums. Billy Loosigian, who has experience with The Darlings, Willie “Loco” Alexander and The Joneses, plays guitar, specifically the Fender Telecaster, while Kent Allyn, who has appeared with Joyce Andersen, David Surrette and Cormac McCarthy, will play acoustic guitar and also chip in with vocals.

The band plays genuine honky-tonk country and American roots music, as inspired by some of their idols. The band has a regular gig at the Blue Mermaid in Portsmouth as part of “Honky Tonk Tuesdays.”

Seldom Playrights will be bringing the old school country sound to the

Ossipee Summer Concerts on the Lawn Series The Ossipee summer concerts on the lawn bring great entertainment to the area, with a variety of musical styles on Sundays at 6:30 pm. Concerts will be held at a new location this year, the Main Street Park Gazebo at 15 Moultonville Road in Center Ossipee. (In

case of rain concerts will be held inside the Town Hall at 55 Main Street in Center Ossipee).

Concert Schedule Sunday, July 10: High Range Band - Enjoy an evening with Ellen Carlson and a quartet of the finest fiddlers

Notes From The Arborist Japanese Beetle

The High Range Band will perform in Ossipee on July 10.

Popillia japonica Description

The adult beetle is about half an inch long with bronze and metallic green coloring.

Affected Species

Roses, Birches, Lindens, Purple Plums, Cherry, and Dogwoods are favorites, however almost any plant with a succulent leaf is a potential target for this hungry beetle.

Symptoms & Damage

The adult beetle is a voracious feeder causing skeletonization of leaves. At the grub stage, they eat turf roots, which can cause extensive damage to your lawn.

Prevention & Treatment

Control is best achieved in the larval stage by treating your lawn during the summer or fall to reduce the beetle population for the following year. Adult beetles can be suppressed now with repeated organic or traditional spraying.

Pheromone lures are not recommended – they attract more beetles than they trap.

July 13 brings League artisan Sandra White’s quilling demonstration as a part of the “Spirit of the Maker” series.

What is quilling? It is a paper art that dates back hundreds of years. White will take thin strips of paper and creating different shapes by rolling, gluing, and shaping them. She uses this art form to create beautiful masterpieces and will be demonstrating and answering questions from 11 am to 2 pm.

July 16 will feature Carolyn Guest’s intricate paper cut images created with sheep shears. A Polish art form of paper cutting, Wycinanki has been around since the 1800s. Farmers’ wives used cutting tools and materials at hand to make freehand decorations, often depicting rural life, for their cottages. During the third quarter of the nineteenth century, Wycinanki became quite popular and styles and patterns were known to reflect the history, culture, and folklore of different regions.

Guest was selected in 1976 to represent Vermont as a delegate to Poland for the International 4-H Youth Exchange. After receiving some Wycinanki note cards, Guest’s interest was sparked, and she has been cutting ever since.

At the Gallery, Guest will be cutting silhouettes with 13.5” sheep shears.

Each cutting will consist of a right and left profile mounted on a 5x7 matte.

The cost is $25 and appointments must be made in advance. Contact the Gallery for more information and to

make an appointment.

While visiting the Gallery this month, you may notice a variety of dog-themed crafts. The League of NH Craftsmen Meredith Fine Craft Gallery recently held an exhibit called “Woof!

A Collection of All Things Dog” during the month of May. The exhibit was created in support of NH Humane Society.

Judi Lombardi of Golden Acres Photography spent a day on Lake Winnipesaukee at Church landing take pet photographs. The photographer, pet owners, and dogs had a wonderful time the day of the photo-shoot and the results were “Marvelous!” according to one pet owner.

A “Good Dog” basket was raffled off with items donated from Mariah Champagne Ornaments, Ian Johnson Woodworks, Naughty Dog Pottery, Kitty Holman Cards, Silver Paw Pet Tags, Lacey’s Pet Place, Laconia Pet Center, and Pawsh Dog Spa & Boutique. The Meredith Gallery would like to thank these crafters and businesses for their support. In total, $350 was raised and presented to Marylee Gorham-Waterman of the NH Humane Society in Laconia, NH. The League of NH Craftsmen, Meredith Fine Craft Gallery is located at 279 Daniel Webster Highway in Meredith and can be reached by phone at 279-7920, by e-mail nhcraft@ metrocast.net, or online at www. nhcrafts.org/meredith.

Hand Quilted Karner Blue Butterfly Wall Hanging Raffle at the Libby Museum especially the underside, the butterflies and lupine have been enlarged. The actual butterfly has a one-inch wingspan, similar in size to the embroidered butterfly in the lower corner of the quilt. The quilt is done in hand applique and embroidered technique. This is the

second quilted wall hanging that she has donated to the Libby Museum.

The first featured the Twin Flower for the Libby’s 100th anniversary celebration.

The raffle to benefit the Libby will take place until Columbus Day Weekend, 2016.

PERFECT GRASS...

AT A PERFECT PRICE!

The Lakes Region’s Most Experienced Source For All Your Water Needs... Including Irrigation!

Rae Lynn Warren, a talented member of the Ladies of the Lakes Quilters Guild has woven her magic again in creating a museum quality hand sewn wall hanging to benefit the Libby Museum in honor of its 2016 theme: NH’s endangered Karner Blue Butterfly, which will be celebrated on the Museum’s annual Family Day on July 24.

Warren’s quilts are also hanging in the NH Boat Museum and the Wright Museum.

Warren learned hand applique

and embroidery from her mother at age 12. Her great aunt taught her how to use a sewing machine to make her own clothes. She has been refining these skills since then, while developing a passion for creating original designs in her miniature quilts, comfort quilts, and nature scene wall-hangings. Warren lives in Melvin Village, NH. The Karner Blue butterflies and lupine quilt is Warren’s latest creation. To show the detailed markings on the butterfly wings,

The SLA is excited to announce the Second Annual Squam Canoe Classic!

This is a bass tournament for anglers of all abilities with plenty of good-natured sportsmanship to go around. This three part fishing series is all about the love of the lake, having a great time on the water and landing the big one. This year the Squam Lakes Association is partnering with Eastern Adaptive Sports (EAS) to provide a quiet water fishing experience, allowing adaptive anglers the opportunity to fully participate in the event. All adaptive registrations through this event will be handled through Eastern Adaptive Sports and participants must fish on an EAS vessel. All registrants must pick up an information packet before the start of the tournament. All adaptive registrants can obtain this packet at River Edge Marina, Ashland, NH. Here is your opportunity to test your skills in a laid back way and to introduce beginner anglers to the art and pleasure of recreational fishing. Load up the canoe, kayak, float tube or any style of human powered watercraft and head out for an afternoon of timeless moments on the water. Quietly ease up to that favorite fishing hole and use all your skill and cunning to hook yourself a winner.

This three tournament series is a motorless event and will be open to any vessel that’s completely human powered. Participants will fish leadfree tackle only, and the event will be a catch and immediate release

tournament. After landing the big one, anglers will document their catch by weighing, measuring, and taking a photo, then releasing the fish back into the deep where the legend can swim on. Some ambitious anglers may pore over the charts and carefully plan out their paddle route, while others will point the bow, pull on the paddle and follow their instincts. There will be a total of three tournaments in the series. Anyone can participate in one, or sign up for all three!

The tournament dates and times are as follows: Tournament 1: July 9, 8 am – 2 pm Tournament 2: July 16, 8am – 2 pm Tournament 3: July 23, 8am – 2 pm Registration for the Canoe Classic costs $20 per boat and each tournament will be capped at 25 boats. A portion of all tournament registration fees will be donated to NH Fish & Game for the continued protection of Squam. If you will have more than one person in your boat please include their registration information on the registration screen wOlfebOrO, nh as well. All registrants must attend a pre-tournament meeting where all rules will be explained, and any questions or special needs a participant might have can be addressed at that time. Failure to attend a pre-tournament meeting may be grounds for a DQ. If you would like to receive more information, or register for this event, please contact the Squam Lakes Association 9687336, or visit our website at www. squamlakes.org/summertime-canoeclassic-tournament-series.

Evening of Music History with John Sebastian in Plymouth John Sebastian’s musical career has involved everything from taking the stage at Woodstock to penning award-winning songs that appeared on records, in theater, on television and more. Now he brings his musical wealth to a show on July 15 at The Flying Monkey Performance Center.

Sebastian was the founding guitarist/ vocalist of The Lovin’ Spoonful and is a 2000 inductee in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the band, which he left in 1968 to pursue a solo career that veered more into his musical roots. His hits include “Do You Believe In Magic?” “Daydream” and “Summer In The City” as well as the theme song “Welcome Back” for the television hit show “Welcome Back, Kotter,” among many more.

The 7:30 pm show will be preceded by dinner and cocktail service.

Concertgoers will be able to bring their beer and wine to their seats for the show.

Sebastian, 70, says the concerts are always an energizing experience for him.

“This is a lot of fun for me. Each show is always different, and the audience is very much a part of the show,” he says.

“There is the freedom that comes with doing a show [with] one guy and one guitar.”

Seth McNally of The Flying Monkey says, “Sebastian will be up close and personal with the audience in our venue and this type of show.”

The show will feature a variety of his work over the decades, and he

Rock N Roll Hall of Fame inductee John Sebastian will perform at The Flying Monkey Performance Center on Friday, July 15 at 7:30 pm. will share with the audience the roots of some of the material, behind the scenes stories of the 60’s Folk Rock revolution of which his band was at the forefront, as well as answer questions about Loving’ Spoonful, Woodstock, and his career.

“He has a charismatic personality, and is ingrained in our musical history,” says McNally.

Sebastian was an unscheduled performer at Woodstock who was hanging out backstage with a friend.

“But the rains on Saturday began to

complicate the electrical connections and the promoters standing on stage thought maybe they can find someone who can hold them with one acoustic guitar, and I looked from side to side and they were both looking at me,” Sebastian recalled.

He took to the stage and will forever be linked to that music extravaganza.

But that is only one small part of a life of music.

Born in New York City’s Greenwich Village, Sebastian was raised in a creative home, where his father was a chromatic harmonica virtuoso and his mother was a writer for radio — mostly humor — so little surprise a singersongwriter might emanate from such a family. His younger brother as well as his oldest son are also musicians.

As a child, Sebastian said his father found more acceptance in Europe, which meant he spent five summers in Italy where, among other travels, he became a citizen of the world outside of Manhattan.

“I did benefit from all this like mad,” he says.

His musical career continues to flourish and be recognized. In 2012, he was honored with the 2012 Silver Eagle Patriot Award by the U.S. Armed Forces in Oceanside, Calif. In 2008, he was inducted into the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame.

Lakes Region Jewish Food Festival on Sunday July 10 Back for another summer, Temple B-nai Israel in Laconia will host the 19th Annual Jewish Food Festival on Sunday, July 10, from 11 am to 2 pm.

People will be coming together from all over NH and beyond, bring back memories of the tastes and smells from the kitchens of Jewish mothers and Bubbes (grandmothers) through the ages. From traditional Jewish cooking to delicatessen delights to amazing desserts and more, the Jewish Food Festival will have something for everyone.

Although customer rave each and every year about the delicious food, last year’s customers were very enthusiastic about the improvements made in the serving stations and fast payment process, so again this year, customers will be able to enjoy these special foods at the festival itself, or via take-out at their own homes, on their boats, at picnics, and other venues.

New this year, the Food Festival will feature a new supplier of deli meats from Evan’s Deli, a deli on the North Shore of Massachusetts. All the meat is cooked by Evan and has been sampled by members of the Food Festival committee, with Food Festival Chair Stu Needleman declaring, “This meat is superior and out of this world. So come to the Food Festival on July 10 and you’ll be in for a treat with a fresh Evan’s Deli meat sandwich.”

Also, after much research, TBI discovered the best rye bread in the country from Zingerman’s Bakery of Ann Arbor, MI and is flying it in just for the festival. In an article critiquing

rye bread in The Atlantic, David Sax writes, “One of the best is at Zingerman’s, the multimillion-dollar food emporium that began as a small deli.”

At the festival, there will be a huge array of authentic textures and tastes including: cheese blintzes; sandwiches filled with your choice of meats from Evan’s Deli, including pastrami, corned beef or tongue, and their own homemade brisket, all with a pickle, coleslaw, and Zingerman’s famous rye bread; knishes (meat and potato); chopped herring; chopped chicken liver; and assorted baked good including strudel and rugelach. In addition, blintzes, meat knishes, potato knishes, latkes (potato pancakes), matzo ball soup, noodle kugel, and stuffed cabbage will

also be available, all frozen and ready to heat at home.

The Jewish Food Festival in Laconia ranks with the best due to TBI’s talented cooking crew of women and men who have been gathering before Festival Day for planning and recipe selection as well as participating in dozens of cooking and baking sessions in the Temple kitchen. Per Committee Chair Stu Needleman, “Our cooking teams have prepared hundreds of servings of the most delectable foods, purchased, cooked and hand sliced nearly 200 pounds of your favorite meats, and baked dozens of varieties of cakes, cookies and other deserts, but no matter how much we have, everything goes quickly. So don’t be late and risk

having your favorite item sold out!”

Last year’s Food Festival attendees left with rave reviews for the food and fun: “I’ve been dreaming of your wonderful food and looking forward to such deliciousness!” “The best day of the year. This is an epic annual event in Laconia, a valuable cultural event for our community.” “Absolutely incredible. Our first time here, but not our last!

Wonderful people!” “I have to say that I think t his is the best food I have ever had.” “The highlight of our weekend.

We were warmly welcomed, greeted and cared for.” “Excellent. We all enjoyed it. The kids were able to try new things.” “Fantastic. Always wanted to come and finally made it.” “We’ll be back next year with our friends!”

On top of the delicious food, starting at 9 am, you will find hundreds of assorted treasures at the Nearly New Boutique including furniture items, linens, children’s games and toys, puzzles, strollers, port-a-cribs, kitchen items, books, jewelry, picture frames and so much more on the front lawn, as well as new Judaica items inside.

The Jewish Festival takes place at Temple B’nai Israel at 210 Court Street in Laconia, which will be tented, and credit cards are accepted. More information can be found at www.tbinh. org and questions should be directed to foodfestival@tbinh.org.

All are welcome to attend. Come meet old and new friends from the community at large, both Jewish Food connoisseurs and rookies.

Boating and Norman Rockwell on a Perfect Summer Day Story and Photos by Kathi Caldwell-Hopper I like history and anything to do with the early 1900s, from the flapper era to the start of talking movies. That makes me sound like quite an oddity, I will admit. Add to that a liking of local history and I suppose my quirky tastes are complete.

As I started to plan my summer excursions earlier in the spring, I wondered what the NH Boat Museum, located at 399 Center Street/Route 28 in Wolfeboro, might be offering for their seasonal summer exhibit.

For those who do not know, the Boat Museum is a wonderful place to visit. If you like boating but don’t know much about the history of the pastime, the museum is a great place to spend a few hours. If, like me, you are an avid fan of old boats, beautiful boats, early sailing, boat racing, camps, pleasure boats or the many lakes in the area, you will be knocked sideways by the marvelous collection at the Boat Museum.

On a perfect, sunny summer day in mid June, I decided to take advantage of the weather and head to the Boat Museum to see their summer exhibit on old magazine covers featuring boating, titled “We’ve Got You Covered: The Art of MotorBoating Magazine Covers 1914-1935.” The Boat Museum is also featuring a display of vintage boats, so there is a lot to see at the museum this summer.

Let me start by saying the museum is located in a really cool building. The building that houses the collection was formerly part of the famed Allen A Resort. The “Quonset hut” domed style building was once the place for dances, where all sorts of bands performed on the stage. It was a magical spot that made vacations complete and

A World War II era kitchen display at the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro.

memorable for many.

Thus, it is a unique, yet fitting home for the Boat Museum and has been for over 10 years now. When I visit, I like to think of the hundreds of couples who once glided over the wooden dance floor to the music of Big Bands in a more leisurely and glamorous time.

The collection of boats fit seamlessly into the space; the vintage boats all are from a time when boating was the finishing touch to a Lakes Region vacation. The stage offers extra space for boating displays and a number of donations or loans of boating-related memorabilia add to the charm of the exhibits.

I really wanted to see the MotorBoating Magazine exhibit. The years from 1914 to 1935 were certainly the time of pleasure boating in America and I had a feeling the illustrations would reflect a period when magazine covers were carefully created works of art, often painted or drawn by a famous, skilled artist.

Information at the start of the exhibit tells the viewer that MotorBoating magazine was founded in 1907; in 1909 print media magnate William Randolph Hearst acquired it. By 1912,

Now you can

Hearst hired Charles F. Chapman to serve as editor, a post he held for the next 56 years. The boating public read the magazine avidly, and it won many awards over the years. The exhibit traces the years from 1914 to 1935 when the covers were at their most glorious; the exhibit is on loan from the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, New York.

Each cover is indeed a work of art.

The September 1914 cover is eye catching, with a red-haired, dreamyeyed young lady gazing at the viewer through a porthole. The title story for the issue was The Greatest Motor Boat Race Ever Held.

It is well known that Hearst had a thing for pretty ladies and he loved the old-fashioned, Gibson girl magazine cover style of innocent, big eyed, flawlessly beautiful females staring at an adoring public. The magazine covers are really interesting because they combine headshots of pretty young ladies with boating. Somehow, the covers work well and draw the viewer in to take a closer look.

A clever cover illustration from January 1914 shows a pretty, darkhaired lady peeking out from behind a MotorBoating magazine, which she appears to have been reading. She

stops long enough to glance up at the viewer who is watching her read the magazine.

One of my favorite covers was of a young woman rowing a canoe. It is a bit less “prettied up” with a fancy lady.

Rather, this cover shows an athletic young woman, her hair bobbed (cut shorter) so as not to hinder her outdoor pursuits. She wears a one-piece dark blue bathing suit and grips a canoe oar to cast off. The lake spreads out in back of her canoe and some foggy palm trees can be viewed in the distance. The year is 1924 and the illustration shows that women were making progress in athletics and in the boating world.

Not all the cover illustrations are of beautiful women. Here and there, a cover puts beautiful wooden boats center stage, such as a dramatic 1915 cover of two men riding in a wooden race boat, cutting expertly through the water.

Elsewhere in the museum, wonderful vintage boats make one long to have the deep pockets to afford such waterworthy models. A gorgeous Century boat is on display and harkens back to the days when boating was a wealthy man’s hobby.

Information tells us the company was founded in 1926. Century Boats were known for their innovative style and specialized in mahogany run about inboard models. By the 1950s, the company’s tagline was “The Thoroughbred of Boats.”

The museum also has a gift shop with all sorts of items from mugs to books and much more. If you like boating – whether today’s speed boats or those from days long gone, there is something for you at the NH Boat Museum, open Monday through Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm and Sunday from noon to 4 pm

Also on Center Street in Wolfeboro, the Wright Museum of World War II is a favorite of mine. A new exhibit titled “Norman Rockwell in the 1940s: A View of the American Homefront,” opened on the very June day I was in Wolfeboro. The museum is a wonderful time capsule of life in the World War II time period and I wanted to stop to see the Rockwell exhibit.

For those who may not know, Normal Rockwell was a highly successful illustrator. His popular magazine covers for The Saturday Evening Post and other publications made him a household name. The

cover illustrations seemed to tell a story with an image, and often he captured a view that spoke visually of life’s nuances. An image might feature a young, fresh-faced boys waiting for a bus or train. He sits nervously, in a hardly-worn soldier’s uniform, his father standing awkwardly to one side.

One can imagine the pain and longing, because such scenes were being played out for real all over the country during the war years.

While at the museum, I started my visit with the first floor exhibits. These include watching a movie in the theatre about the museum’s collections and the World War II years. The exhibits stress what life was like on the home front and nothing is left out.

A large room starts the tour and houses many things that teach, but in

a fun way. Roomsized vignettes feature a filling station (we would call it a gas station today), a dental office, a kitchen in an average home, and a living room.

Life certainly has changed and some of the items – such as the Hoosier cabinet in the kitchen and the lack of modern-day entertainments like high-tech computers and stereo systems in Boat race illustration the living room magazine cover. tell us that in the 1930s and 40s, people made their own fun.

Children’s toys from the time period include a complete doll’s house, board games and more. It is lighthearted stuff, but never far away, we are reminded of the war looming ever near. Posters urge us to grow a garden, can food, save scrap metal and rubber and to never give in to the enemy.

The time tunnel area is a long hallway with a succession of rooms that each show what was happening in the years between 1939 when the war was coming closer into our lives, right through the victory and war’s end.

Music of each year and information on items such as the price of a loaf of bread or of a house are displayed, along with what was happening in Europe as war raged.

At the end of the time tunnel, a huge room with all sorts of military vehicles holds center stage. It is a breathtaking collection, and when you stand next to the huge World War II era tank and crane your neck to look up at the vehicle, you get a sense of what battlefield combat must have been like.

There is also a fun period soda shop that harkens back to the time when teens piled into diners and soda shops for an ice cream or “tonic” and to socialize. Such places offered a good stress reliever when youngsters worried about loved ones – brother, fathers, uncles and cousins – far away fighting for our country’s freedom.

The second floor gallery is the spot of the Rockwell exhibit and I eagerly made my way there. I was impressed with the large exhibit of Rockwell’s magazine covers, all framed and hung on the walls according to a timeline.

There are 44 of Rockwell’s covers for The Saturday Evening Post in the exhibit featuring for MotorBoating the home front themes. Covers include Rosie the Riveter, The Homecoming, Home on Leave and Back to Civies. The Willie Gillis series of covers follow a fictional everyman through the war years.

The exhibit was organized by the Normal Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. It shows Rockwell’s wonderful storytelling skills and will be on view until August 21. The Wright Museum of World War II is located at 77 Center Street in Wolfeboro and is open Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm and Sunday from noon to 4 pm through October 31. For information, call 5691212 or visit www.wrightmuseum.org.

Both the NH Boat Museum and the Wright Museum of World War II have many programs this summer in conjunction with the exhibits. For a look back at the early days of boating and also how we lived, worked and played during World War II, you can’t beat a trip to the Wolfeboro area museums.

It is not only because I love history that I put a visit to Wolfeboro on my agenda each summer. When the weather is warm, the sun is shining and summer underway, there is no better time to be in Wolfeboro for the shopping, the dining, the chance to laze an hour away sitting at the downtown dock area…and to savor the past at the Wright Museum of World War II and NH Boat Museum.

Gilmanton Library Summer Reading Program The Gilmanton Year-Round Library is pleased to announce that it has received a Kids, Books and the Arts grant for their summer reading program. This program will enable the library to provide fun events with professional performers at the library during the reading program.

The summer reading program will kick-off on July 5 at 6 pm with a performance by basketball artist Ilze Luneau. She will amaze you with her never-before-seen basketball handling

tricks with three, four, five, and even six basketballs at once. Luneau performs regularly at the Basketball Hall of Fame and has appeared on the Jay Leno and Ellen DeGeneres shows.

Kids, Books and Arts is a cooperative project of the New Hampshire State Library and CHILIS, the Children’s Librarians of New Hampshire.

These grant opportunities allow public libraries to provide quality arts experiences for children and families in their communities, while

at the same time promoting summer reading. Supported by businesses and foundations, these grants are awarded to community libraries with limited resources to help foster quality children’s programming.

Kids, Books and the Arts began in 1994 with a grant from the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts to the New Hampshire State Library.

Its objective was to encourage arts programming by introducing and encouraging artists to adapt their

art to a thematic program of interest to children, thereby strengthening the partnership between the arts community and public libraries.

Since the inception of the program in 1994, the State Library has awarded more than $277,000 to libraries and communities throughout the state.

For more information on the Summer Reading Program, and other programs presented at the Gilmanton YearRound, go to www.gyrl.org.

Have you ever seen a bird disappear in a flash? Or your best friend’s head vanish before your eyes? Perhaps you would like to giggle in surprise as Bob’s puppet friend, Reggie the Rabbit, prompts himself at the starting line and gets ready to read. The Gafney Library in Sanbornville invites you to Magician Bob Riordan’s World of Wonder Show, which combines magic, music, comedy, storytelling, and an abundance of audience participation, all guaranteed to amaze and entertain audience members of all ages.

The show will take place on Saturday, July 9, 10 to 11 am in the Wakefield Opera House, next to the library. This event is free and open to all and is one of the events that is planned during the 2016 Summer Reading Program, “On Your Mark, Get Set…READ”.

Funding for the Wonder Show was made possible by the Friends of the Wakefield Libraries, the Jack and Dorothy Byrne Foundation, CHILIS, Cogswell Benevolent Trust, and supported in part by a grant from the NH State Council on the Arts and

the National Endowment for the Arts as well as funds administered by the NH State Library and provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

For more details about this event, other events or the Summer Reading Program, drop by the Gafney Library on High Street or call 522-9735. Get ready to be amused and amazed!

hilarious musicals, each written in the distinctive style of a popular theater composer. The variations are: Rodgers and Hammerstein set in Kansas, a Sondheim version featuring the landlord as a tortured artistic genius; a Jerry Herman version, as a splashy star vehicle; an Andrew Lloyd Weber rock musical; and a Kander & Ebb version set in a Chicago speakeasy.

More music and original plays will be presented in August. Event updates are posted on littlechurchtheater.com.

Respecting its history as a place of worship, a cross still sits atop the roof over the front door and stained glass windows filter the summer sunlight.

The Squam Lakes Association Outdoor Scavenger Hunt using Navigational Skills Join the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) on July 8, 2016 from 9 am – 11 am for a morning of games and outdoor navigation. This event will take place at SLA headquarters and all ages and family groups are welcome to attend.

As part of the SLA Adventure Ecology program series, conservation intern Maggie Gaiero will guide a group of participants in a fun exploration of navigational skills. Participants will learn how to use a compass through adventure games and scavenger hunts.

“Basic navigation skills are so important for everyone to be familiar with,” says Gaiero. “I grew up exploring the forests behind my house and after all the time I spent wandering around lost, I wish I had known then

what I know about compasses now.”

Approximately 85% of New Hampshire is covered in forested land, of which about 71% is owned by individuals. Adventure lives inside everyone, so wouldn’t it be nice to have a skill set to help you navigate back home? Even hiking trails can sometimes become confusing, and having a compass with you is highly advised. The first step in hiking safe is to be prepared with the right knowledge and the right gear.

Hiking trails exist to help conserve the natural wilderness by limiting the region of earth that becomes compacted from foot traffic. Even one person wandering off trail could leave a trace behind them, causing others to Sectional Docks Floating Docks Rolling Docks Swim Platforms Decking options: Wood, Aluminum or Composite.

follow. Compass navigational skills do not replace trails, but they can help you a great deal should you find yourself off of a trail, or wandering around the woods behind your house.

“Navigation skills aren’t just useful when roaming about the woods,” says Gaiero. “They are also good for road trips to a new place, boating around a lake, or finding your way around town.”

By the end of the program, participants will be knowledgeable enough to find different cardinal directions, through group story games and individual scavenger hunts.

Our docks are custom made to your specifications and needs.

Lightweight and of superior strength, the aluminum construction provides a low maintenance dock that will last a lifetime.

Renee Koher appears as Violet in 9 to 5, The Musical at Interlakes Summer Theatre in Meredith through July 10.

9 to 5, The Musical at Interlakes Summer Theatre Interlakes Summer Theatre in Meredith presents 9 to 5, The Musical, based on the hit 1980s movie. Set in the late 1970s, the hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought provoking, and even a little romantic. Pushed to the boiling point, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss (Mr. Hart). In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot!
