September art exhibit at Gafney Library Artists J.P. Goodwin and D.L. Kaulbach present their fifth Initial Exhibit during September at the Gafney Library in Sanbornville. The two artists have had four shows together entitled Initial Exhibits; they began the exhibits in the 1990s when they were both members of the Massachusetts Marblehead and Swampscott Arts Associations by participating in group juried shows together. They often painted together locally in and around the North Shore area.

J.P. Goodwin has been painting for almost 50 years, primarily in New England. She studied at Garland Junior College and the University of Georgia, earning degrees in Fine Arts and Residential Design. She also studied with artists Harold Pride, Kay Peterson Parker, Mary Field, Ruth Rooks, Lavonne Sawalski, Nan White and Caleb Stone. J.P. works in many mediums and fields including fiber, landscape design, interior design, murals and restoration of oils. Her website, www.houseportraits.com, displays some of her watercolors and graphite work. J.P. is most inspired painting en plein air to take full advantage of the natural light and is an Artist Member and Trustee of the Mt. Washington Valley Arts Association, the Marblehead

Arts Association and the Swampscott Arts Association. She is also affiliated with Arnould Gallery, the Marblehead and Vintage Frameworks, and the Gold Leaf Gallery of North Conway. J.P. is a current artist member of the Garvin Gallery Five in Sanbornville.

D.L. Kaulbach has been painting for 40 years and has taken courses at various local colleges in oils and watercolors and most recently in pastels.

She loves living in New England and has homes in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. As a member of Marblehead Arts Association in Massachusetts, she has organized two shows: The Green Show in 2009, which depicted various views of nature and in 2011, The Blue Show, which depicted how water affects our lives. D. L. has traveled extensively in Europe where she lived for many years and where she gained a source of inspiration for her painting. As an avid gardener, she tries to convey her love of nature and concern for the environment in her work.

The exhibit may be viewed at the Gafney during the open hours of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 1 to 7 pm and Friday and Saturday from 9 am to 12:30 pm. For questions, call the library at 522-3401.

Heart and Soul Retrievers Offers Professional Training

By Sarah Wright Most everyone loves a retriever. In fact, it’s the most popular dog breed in America, especially with families.

The breed is athletic and playful, and perfectly suited for a job as a service dog. But historically, the retriever was a “gun dog,” developed for finding and retrieving game, most often water fowl. Many of today’s hunters still use retrievers to assist them, and it’s very important for the dog to be well trained for the hunt.

Heart and Soul Retrievers of Brookfield, New Hampshire, trains dogs of all abilities, not only as working gun dogs, but for competition in field trials and hunt tests. Training programs are tailored to each retriever, so that the dogs can all reach their maximum potential. There are a variety of training opportunities to choose from, starting with basic obedience, and every program provides a positive, quality learning experience for both the dogs and their owners.

Lois Munroe is the owner and trainer at Heart and Soul Retrievers, and after earning degrees in both Small and Large Animal Science, she went on to teach Vocational Agriculture while managing the school’s dairy herd.

However, in September of 1990, her life was forever changed when she purchased her first Labrador Retriever named Saltmarsh Black Angus. “Gus” was an exceptional dog, and because of his advanced marking ability, Lois was determined to find an accomplished professional who could teach her the art and science of training retrievers.

She found the trainer and started a three-year apprenticeship to educate herself.

Eighteen years later she is still as passionate as ever about training retrievers. Since then, Lois has titled numerous Master, Senior, and Junior level dogs. “It takes about eight months for a dog to learn the basics of obedience,” says Lois, “but once

they’ve completed obedience training, it only takes 60 to 90 days to turn them into a gun dog.”

There are many tasks that a retriever needs to learn in order to perform as a proper gun dog. Heart and Soul Retrievers starts with basic command training and then expands on that to include the skills needed to assist a hunter. So, what exactly is a trained retriever expected to do?

Well, since the majority of waterfowl hunting involves going out in small boats, retrievers have to be trained to sit still and remain quiet. This is often referred to as “steadiness”. If the dog isn’t steady, the boat could tip over, the hunter’s aim might be disrupted, or there could even be an accidental discharge of a firearm, which could put everyone in danger. If multiple dogs are used on a hunt, the retrievers will “honor” the other dog by remaining calm while it’s working.

“Steadiness is best learned when the dog is a year old,” says Lois. “I like to build enthusiasm in the dog first, before focusing on steadiness.”

A steady dog is also better able to “mark” downed game. Here’s how marking works. As birds move into range, a well-trained dog will

follow the hunter’s gun as he shoots, remembering each bird as it falls. When the hunter is finished shooting, the dog will receive a command to retrieve any downed birds. At Heart and Soul, the dogs are trained on land first, and then through water. Lois uses popper guns to mimic a hunter’s gunfire; the dog then watches for the “mark.” They’re taught to run a straight path to the bird, and must remain focused on that task.

The dog’s ability to remember multiple marks is extremely important, and Lois uses techniques to improve a dog’s marking and memory ability. If the dog didn’t see the bird fall, then it’s a “blind” retrieve and the dog will follow hand, voice and whistle signals to find the bird.

Lois’ method involves the use of electronic collars to correct the dogs during training, which is really the only

way to correct a dog’s behavior from 200 to 300 yards away. While some owners might have some reservations about it, Lois feels that it’s the only way to ensure that a dog will listen and won’t run out into the street, for example. The collars are never used as punishment, but rather to guide a dog that is disregarding her other signals.

Lois also uses real dead birds while training, so that the dogs can get used to the feel of them. Retrievers are inherently soft-mouthed dogs, and that’s important for retrieving game.

Dogs that drop birds, or crunch or chew on the bird before delivery to the handler are considered “hardmouthed.” While training can help a dog overcome some mouth issues, a dog with a soft mouth is more desirable when starting the training process.

The training programs at Heart and Soul begin with Head Start for puppies.

The earlier you expose your puppy to basic obedience and retrieving, the better. The puppy program is for eight-week-old to six-month-old dogs, and includes a range of skill building opportunities, including basic obedience, collar conditioning, and exposure to birds, guns and hunting scenarios. At the end of the program, puppies will be prepared for more advanced training.

The next available program is Basic Field Training. Obedience training is the foundation of all retrieving

A solid obedience foundation is combined with introductory field training, including skills like Stick Fetch, Force Fetch, Stop to a Pile, Three Handed Casting, Swim By, and Basic Marking, among other elements.

To teach various retrieving/marking

patterns, they will begin with single retrieves, with multiple guns in the field, and build to double and triple retrieves, while steadily increasing the difficulty of the retrieving set-up.

The Transition Program then helps solidify skills learned “in the yard” as part of basic field training and transfers these skills to more advanced fieldwork. At this stage, many of the dogs are preparing to run competitive

retrieving events involving multiple marks and blind retrieves. However, the transition program is also crucial for your hunting companion, and will include advanced components like Pattern blinds with diversions, Cold blinds, and Cheating singles. As in the basic training program, the transition program includes daily retrieving setups and weekly flyers to maintain a positive attitude, improve marking and increase desire to retrieve.

Lastly, the Advanced Program prepares your dog to run competitive events with multiple marks and blinds,

whether in hunt tests or field trials.

Skills at this level will include Literal Casting, Carrying a Straight Line, Land and Water Triples, and Advanced Marking Concepts. Training programs are held in Brookfield, New Hampshire during the spring and summer months, (and at Lois’ home in Lincolnton, Georgia during the winter.). Both private and group lessons are available.

Travel Back in Time with the Effingham Historical Society

Have you ever wondered what your town, county, or state capitol buildings looked like 50, 100, or 150 years ago?

Many historic buildings important to New Hampshire have been lost due to neglect, demolition and re-development. While some spots are marked by a plaque, in many cases no tangible physical evidence of the structures remain.

Join the Effingham Historical Society at its main building located at 1014 Province Lake Road (Route 153) in Center Effingham on Friday, Sept. 18 at 7 pm for a presentation by Maggie Stier titled, On This Spot Once Stood…

Remembering the Architectural Heritage of NH to learn more about the state’s lost architectural treasures.

Using photographs, maps, and other records, Ms. Stier’s program will highlight lost buildings and why we must remember and commemorate them.

Memorialized buildings and birthplaces of notable citizens will be discussed and attendees will be encouraged to name examples and how those buildings, which

are no longer standing, are remembered.

Maggie Stier has been a Field Service Representative for the NH Preservation Alliance since 2006. Prior to joining the NHPA she worked in the museum field, including as director of The Fells historic estate and gardens on Lake Sunapee.

An alumna of Vassar College, Boston University, and Antioch College, she is also the author of Into the Mountains: Stories of New England’s Most Celebrated Peaks (published by the Appalachian Mountain Club); has also been affiliated with the Old Man of the Mountain Legacy Fund; is an adjunct faculty member at Plymouth State University; and serves on the NH State Parks Advisory Council.

This program, which is sponsored by a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council’s Humanities To Go! program, is free and open to the public. A question-and-answer period, refreshments and the EHS monthly business meeting will follow the presentation.

Founded in 1953, the Effingham Historical Society (EHS) seeks to furnish

an opportunity for united thought, study and action in collecting and preserving articles of historic interest to the Town of Effingham; to select, protect, arrange, and record documents and artifacts; and to show handiwork, home furnishings, and habits of the life of our forefathers in order to communicate the historical values of the Town and to provide present and future access to our cultural past.

The EHS is a privately funded non-profit organization that relies on contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations to sustain its operations and is located at 1014 Province Lake Road in indianmoundgc.com Teaching Professional Julie Rivers-603-986-1840

Always Fascinating North Conway

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Now and then I find myself in Conway. Sometimes it is for work, sometimes for shopping and sometimes because one of my now-adult kids is home for a visit.

Such was the case a few weeks ago (in late August) when my son, Dan, was home for a visit. Dan is a lighting designer for a theatre in Florida and does not get back to New Hampshire often. He loves the snow and cold and the changing seasons, and he will always be a New Englander at heart, but for now, his career keeps him in sunny Florida. He was thrilled to have a week off to visit New Hampshire in the summer, and had a number of adventures planned while home.

One trip on his agenda was a drive to North Conway. (As an undergraduate in college, Dan spent a summer as a lighting tech person at a summer theatre in the Mount Washington Valley and loved the area.)

It was a hot and humid day and we had no set agenda other than heading up Rt. 16 to Conway on the day we trekked north. (These are among my favorite days, when I simply head out with no set destination in mind.) We packed bathing suits and towels just in case we found a beach.

As a lover of the White Mountain School of painting (a group of skilled artists who spent summers in the White Mountains in the 1800s and captured the beauty of the scenery in a series of paintings), I find the Conway area among my favorite spots to explore.

Echo Lake State Park There are many breathtaking areas with fields, old farms, and the everbeautiful mountains in the background.

I find myself, when in the area, caught up seeing the scenery, as those old-time painters must have seen it.

On past trips my kids enjoyed the

Echo Lake State Park in the North Conway area. After lunch at one of our favorite North Conway restaurants and a leisurely stroll down the main street area for maple syrup from a country store to take back to Florida and a stop for strong coffee at Dan’s favorite

coffee house, we were hot and a bit tired.

Thus, Echo Lake seemed a very good idea. We took West Side Road to the park, which is located at 68 Echo Lake Road. It should be noted that in the non-summer season the park allows visitors, but it is not staffed with lifeguards or other attendants and caution should be taken around the water and on the trails.

After parking our car, we took the shaded path to the swimming/picnic area. As with all state parks on a hot summer’s day, the beach area was busy, but we still managed to claim a perfect picnic table in the pine grove. (The area has plenty of shade due to the tall pine trees that tower over the picnic area.)

Just steps away was amazing Echo Lake with the Cathedral Ledge rock formation in the background. (I well recall stopping here out of curiosity after taking my elementary school aged children to Story Land some years ago; we fell in love with the area and took a refreshing dip in the lake before heading home.)

The water beckoned on the hot day and we made our way to the beach. It’s a great spot for small children, with a sandy beach where many toddlers and younger children were busy digging in the sand with parents hovering and/or wading in the water close by.

For such a hot day, we were surprised at the coldness of the water. We swam for quite some time, gazing up often at Cathedral Ledge towering above us.

• Day Tripping Continued from page 10 After swimming, we decided we just could not leave the park without walking and exploring the trails on the property. We packed our gear in the car and then took the scenic trail around Echo Lake, which offered magnificent views of Cathedral Ledge.

The approximately one-mile round trip was an easy walk through the woods; we were always close to the lake.

Hiking was fun, but it left us hot all over again! “Let’s check out Diana’s Baths,” Dan suggested. Diana’s Baths is just a brief drive from the Echo Lake State Park area. The parking lot for Diana’s Baths is located on West Side Road in Bartlett/North Conway. There is a huge parking lot with a sign and box where one can get an envelope to place a modest parking fee in a drop box. The fee helps maintain the parking area and trails and is a small price to pay for a chance to experience the splendor of Diana’s Baths.

Diana’s Baths I suggest those who visit the area wear sturdy footwear; the hike to the waterfall is about 6/10s of a mile and is long enough to warrant more than thin sandals. About that trail: it’s pretty and takes one deep into the woods. It is well groomed and flat with a spot off the trail for men’s and women’s bathrooms and benches for resting.

About half way on the path, we could hear the sound of rushing water, a familiar noise for me since I grew

The White Mountains

up near a river with waterfalls quite nearby. It was a busy place on this hot day with visitors passing us on the path carrying picnic coolers and towels.

Diana’s Baths is a must-see if you are in the North Conway area and want to experience nature at its finest. Although summer has ended, this is a great place to visit during the foliage season. The waterfalls/rock formations lie along Lucy Brook, and the cascading falls measure about 75 feet in total height.

Those who visit Diana’s Baths should note that caution must be taken around the flowing water and many large and small rocks. In the spring, the water is quite high and fast flowing and if there has been a lot of rain, the level rises.

We waded into the water, and found it to be ice cold. Spilling over a series of rock formations, the waterfalls tumbled over boulders, around flat areas and down, down, down.

When we left the Conway area, Dan was well pleased with our day trip to an area he holds in great fondness.

I mulled over the fact that while the area has changed over the past 100 or so years since the days of the White Mountain painters, the things that brought early settlers and artists to the Mount Washington Valley are still there for all to enjoy. Echo Lake, Cathedral Ledge and the icy waters and rock formations of Diana’s Baths are but a few of the scenic splendors that waits on a day trip to Conway and North Conway.

Ossipee Main Street Promotes Friendly Growth

By Barbara Neville Wilson “I was there at the beginning.” It’s not often one can say that, but in this case, I was.

I was in the office of the Ossipee Main Street Program in Ossipee at the very moment heavy equipment was delivered to prepare the foundation for the new bandstand to take center stage in the Main Street park.

It was obvious something important was happening because almost mid-sentence Main Street Fundraising chair Cindy Libby rose from her seat, rushed to the window and announced jubilantly, “It’s here! Stanley’s equipment is here!”

And so on the first Thursday morning of September, the first sign of a new outdoor gathering place in Center Ossipee became visible. Yellow heavy equipment appeared beside orangeribboned stakes. Soon passersby will see earth moved, concrete poured, and, if all goes as planned, a fully-built Amish-delivered gazebo will welcome Ossipee citizens and their guests at the Community Appreciation Barbeque on September 26.

Gail Montgomery, director of Ossipee Main Street explains that the gazebo has been in the planning stages for at least eight years. “Ossipee doesn’t really have a Main Street” in the traditional sense, she says. Made up of five distinct districts, Granite, Ossipee Corner, Ossipee, West Ossipee, and Center Ossipee, the town of Ossipee needs a focused place to come together, and since 2005, the Ossipee Main Street program has tried to promote that focus and foster cohesiveness in the community through plans for a bandstand.

The White Mountains

The Ossipee elementary school, post office, library and town offices are located in Center Ossipee, so it seemed natural for the Main Street Program to take up residence there, and the park next to it has become a center of activity. Farmer’s and Crafter’s Markets occur there every Saturday in the warm weather months, and granite benches etched with pithy sayings, “Live, Love, Laugh,” “In Honor of Our service men and Women Past, Present and Future,” “Service Above Self” capsulate the Main Street initiative and the women who direct it.

“We’re not here to replace the Rec Department or anyone else,” says Gail.

“We’re here to promote the hometown feeling of the town.”

In addition to the September Community Appreciation Barbeque, they will sponsor October’s town wide

Scarecrow Contest, an Ossipee Christmas lighting contest, a spring Economic Fair, the Beech River Run (5k and 10K) held on July 4th this year, and a variety of fundraisers that are fun-raisers, too.

A highlight for many locals are the old-fashioned Penny Sales, “kind of a reverse auction,” Gail explains, where people buy a sheet of tickets to bid on items. She laughs, “People get so excited about things you wouldn’t think they even want. Some people buy $50 in tickets. And they’re very superstitious. They all want only special colors so they can be the winner. It’s very hometownish.”

Gail and Cindy’s approach is very ‘hometownish,’ too. They listen to the people who come to events. “They want hotdogs,” Gail says. “Last time we had sandwiches and they weren’t

too happy” so next time, hotdogs it will be.

The Penny Sales, Farmer’s Markets and Beech River Race, along with individual donations and town appropriations, have been very successful, leading to the completion of the Gazebo fundraising campaign two years ahead of schedule. $26,000 has been raised so that the Gazebo can be used for band concerts, weddings, functions, and a viewing stand for the judges of the annual Fourth of July Parade.

Gail and Cindy have a very personal stake in the mission of the Ossipee Main Street Program. Both grew up in Ossipee, as did volunteer Anne Martin-Segrini, whose mother was best friends with Gail’s mother when they were children. Although all left town for work or even lived away for a period of time, they returned to Ossipee in later life.

They’ve seen the town change from a bustling community dependent on the mills of Moultonville that sent their wares via the Mountain View depot to big cities far away, to a town that time seemed to have passed by, as Route 16 sends people speeding past their downtown.

“I believe in Ossipee; it was a thriving little town,” says Gail. “The mills closed down and the trains stopped coming in the ‘50’s or ‘60’s.” She remembers when Center Ossipee supported two grocery stores, a hotel, and a drugstore. “But we’re not giving up,” she says forcefully.

Across the street is a hairdresser, and Mountain Girl Bakery serves up sweets worthy of a fancy metropolitan bakery right beside more homespun goodies like locally sourced fresh fruit cobbler and cider doughnuts.

New Main Street condominiums feature stainless appliances, hardwood floors and plenty of parking, and the Mountain View Station restaurant has become increasingly popular for its lunch and dinner menus.

The women’s love for their hometown is infectious. They are some of Ossipee’s most enthusiastic supporters.

They are also grateful for the re-

sources brought to them through the National Main Street program. Originated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the National office offers expertise, education, organization and support to Gail and her team. In the past, grants have helped support the acquisition of technology, and Title V monies make the staffing by Gail and Cindy possible. However, the monies received only allow the women to work for the program 36 total hours each week.

“We need more support,” Gail says.

People don’t have to help with every event, but if more people gave a little, the Main Street Program could do even more.

Anne turns to Gail. “You do good, Gail. You give a lot of your life to other people,” but perhaps that’s because Gail remembers how Ossipee once was and how it can be again.

She looks out the window at the new bandstand park. “My mother would be so excited...” she says with satisfaction.

The Lakes Region Builders and Remodelers Association (LRBRA) present the annual Fall Parade of Homes the weekend of October 10-12. The event is a tradition that began in New Hampshire in 2007 and has continued to grow each year and shifted from a statewide tour to a Lakes and Mountains Region event.

The Parade of Homes is an opportunity to meet some of the area’s best builders, along with their product and service providers to learn how a home was designed, what materials and techniques were chosen and why, and what went into the construction.

It allows the general public to walk through showcase houses and gather ideas for their dream home or provide great examples of what is possible in the world of remodeling.

All nine of the Parade houses are decorated and ready to show off the latest colors, tiles, window treatments, exterior designs, floor plans and furniture trends to admire. And of

where the divided highway ends and the mountains meet the lakes

be delighted with a Brazilian teak deck, custom oak, mahogany and maple floors and even reclaimed wood from Coney Island’s Boardwalk and beams from the first teddy bear factory in the U.S. The event will run from October 10, 11 and 12, (Saturday, Sunday & Monday); tour hours are from 10 am to 4 pm each day.

Tickets for the Parade of Homes can be purchased at the first house you visit.

One ticket allows entry into all of the homes on the tour and the cost is just $10 per person. Children age 12 and under are free. A comprehensive Parade Guidebook will be handed out at each of the homes featuring all of the homes, with graphics, descriptions, maps and local sponsors of the event.

All ticket proceeds will benefit the Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction. With your help, last year

Lakes Region Builders and Remodelers Association was able to donate over $6,000 to the auction, helping more kids have a safe place to learn, laugh, and play; and more Lakes Region neighbors received the support they need to create a better future for themselves and their families. (childrensauction.com) The website www.nhparadeofhomes. com is designed to make visitor touring easy. View the map or click on view information on homes, for descriptions and directions. Presenting Sponsors of this year’s event include Meredith Village Savings Bank; Dead River Company and Marvin Windows and Doors!

Fabulous Fall Events For Everyone

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Fall will soon be upon us and with it come a number of great fall events for families … and some for adults looking to take a workshop or attend a new happening now that the kids are back in school.

The Remick Country Doctor Museum and Farm in Tamworth is a great place to bring the entire family, and the site is beautiful in the summer and fall. On Saturday, Sept. 26 from 11 am to 3 pm, the Museum offers Harvest Festival day. Join the staff at the farm for tractor-pulled wagon rides, historic crafts, agricultural exhibits, lunch and goodies for sale and farm games and live folk music.

Open Hearth Cooking Class is a fun way to spend the day on Saturday, Oct. 24 from 10 am to 2 pm. Learn hearth cooking preparation and how to set and manage the fire for hearthside cooking.

After the meal is prepared, participants gather for a feast. Call the museum at 323-7591 for registration information for Remick Museum events or visit www.remickmuseum.org.

products, alpaca yarns, jams, jellies, breads, baked goods for sale, and spinning and weaving and wool dyeing demonstrations.

Harvest Day will take place at the Farm Museum on October 3. Enjoy horse-drawn wagon rides, a harvest market and fall fun. Kids can dig potatoes and carrots to make Stone Soup, bob for apples, play farm games and make potato prints. Visitors will press apples to make cider, shell dry beans, winnow the buckwheat and more. Also offered will be horse drawn wagon rides around the farm, visits with farm animals, and blacksmith and spinning demonstrations.

On October 17, the Big Pumpkin Party takes place at the NH Farm Museum from 10 am to 3 pm with pumpkin games and stories. You can pick out your own pumpkin and carve or paint it at a carving station, roast pumpkin seeds over the fire and hike the pumpkin trail in the woods. A free pumpkin is given with each paid admission.

On November 21, an Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving takes place at the farm from 10 am to 3 pm. New Hampshire has a special connection to Thanksgiving; the state’s own Sarah Josepha Hale, born on a farm in Newport, NH, who after many years of letter writing, persuaded President Lincoln to declare the fourth Thursday in November a National Day of Thanksgiving in 1863, thereby establishing the national holiday. The Farm Museum will offer living history farmhouse tours with costumed role players, homemade pumpkin pie and hot cider in the farmhouse kitchen, horse-drawn wagon rides through the fields, visits with the farm animals and popcorn over the campfire.

The season ends at the NH Farm

The New Hampshire Farm Museum, located on Route 175 in Milton, has events slated for families during the fall. If you have a hankering for pie, come to the September 20 Great NH Pie Festival from noon to 4 pm. Taste pie of all sorts from New Hampshire’s best bakers and bakeries. You can enter your pie in the farm’s pie contest and perhaps win a great prize. Enjoy pie making demonstrations, a children’s apple pie eating contest, horse-drawn wagon rides, farm tours, music and guided tours of the historic Jones farmhouse.

On September 26, The Milton Market & Fall Wool Market will be offered from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm with local crafts, farm products, homemade soaps, handspun wool and wool

Perhaps you want to hear some great music but just had not found time in the busy summer season to get to a concert.

Now is definitely the time to explore all that the Wakefield Opera House has to offer.

The Opera House is a grand old building with a beautiful, renovated theater that is roomy, has good acoustics and offers a variety of wonderful musical acts. Things get jazzy with the Moose Mountain Dixieland Jazz Band with Lance McLean on Saturday, Sept. 26 at 7 pm. The band got started in the Brookfield/Wakefield area in 2001 when Lance Maclean put together a small three-piece group for a “Dixieland Night” at the Wakefield Historical Society’s Red School House.

The band has grown in popularity since their opening night and they are now regulars in the area and beyond. Moose Mountain Jazz Band’s music is happy, foot-tapping, rambunctious party jazz and perfect for those who love the sound and rhythms born in New Orleans that people the world over have come to love and call Dixieland.

Very popular musician Ed Gerhart will perform at the Opera House on Saturday, Oct. 24 at 7 pm. From Tokyo to Rome and venues across the country, Grammy Award-winning guitarist Ed Gerhard’s music has touched audiences all over the world.

Performing on six-string, slide guitar or acoustic Hawaiian lap slide, Gerhard’s virtuosity, generosity and sly humor

Moose Mountain Jazz Band

shine through. His distinctive touch is unmistakable. Whether performing a lush, sensual ballad or a haunting, bitter lap steel melody, Gerhard will mesmerize.

The Concordia Consort will perform at the Opera House on Saturday, Nov. 8 at 4 pm. Founded in 1995, Concordia Consort for nearly two decades has appeared as guest musicians at churches throughout New England. Concordia has been heard in live broadcast on WCRB, WHRB and WGBH Radio and has presented concerts in historic King’s Chapel, Old North Church and St. Paul’s Cathedral in downtown Boston, at Middlesex Community College, MIT Chapel and Williams College, for the Concord Museum, and other New England venues.

The group, which features banjos, saxophones and singing of classic Americana music, will bring great music to the church.

A Charlie Brown Christmas with The Heather Pierson Quartet takes place on Friday, Dec. 4 at 7 pm. This will be a great family holiday show with Heather Pierson on piano and vocals; Joe Aliperti performing alto and tenor

sax; Shawn Nadeau on bass and Craig Bryan on drums.

Beautiful holiday music will come to the church on December 5 at 7 pm with a concert featuring Carol Noonan and Dana Cunningham. The show is always a seasonal favorite for the whole family Special musical guest will be Max Dyer.

Everyone loves a train ride and there is no better time to ride the rails than in the fall with foliage ablaze. The wonderful Conway Scenic Railroad with a station in downtown North Conway, offers the

Pumpkin Patch Express, taking place October 16 to 18 and October 23 to 25.

The trains leave for a round-trip ride aboard vintage coaches to the White Mt. Cider Company in Glen, where each child can visit the “Pumpkin Patch” and select their own pumpkin.

On October 18, the railroad offers the Autumn Express. It is a special excursion through Crawford Notch, hosted by the Kiwanis Club of Mt. Washington Valley. It is a fundraiser to benefit local children’s charities, and the public is warmly invited to participate. The train departs from the North Conway station at 11 am and returns at approximately 4 pm.

Included in the excursion is an hour’s layover at Crawford Station, which is across from Saco Lake (a small pond from which the Saco River originates) and adjacent to the AMC’s Highland Center. Passengers are encouraged to get off the train, stretch their legs, and explore their beautiful surroundings.

Further events include the Murder Mystery Dinner Train on October 23 at 6 pm; Military Appreciation Day on November 20 at 4 pm; Journey to the North Pole on November 20 to 22, 27 to 29 and December 4 to 6 10 to 13 and 18 to 22 at 4 pm; Santa’s Holiday Express on November 27, 28 and 29 and on December 5 and 6, 12 and 13, and 19 to 23.
