The beautiful season of fall is upon us...
Diane Johnson writes: It is a blessing and a joy to have the lovely early fall weather we have been enjoying this week. Although I feel a sense of urgency to get things done before the days get much shorter, the Sandwich Fair takes place, and the snowbirds head back to their winter grounds, this is my favorite time of year—crisp days, few bugs, color everywhere, so beautiful. This is such a great time to rejuvenate and appreciate before the holidays and cold weather arrive.
In the Beginning
If you haven’t stopped in to the Sandwich Historical Society yet this summer, come by 4 Maple Street to see this year’s summer exhibit, In the Beginning: Lower Corner and the Centre. Did you know the Methodist Church was struck by lightning years ago? Where was the telephone office in Sandwich? See photos of places then and now in the Wentworth Hill area and Center Sandwich. Dorothy Weed’s childhood dresses from the early 1900’s are something to see. Also a mini-exhibit on the Quimby School high school that closed in 1963. Many more photos and articles about buildings and business and people in the downtown and Lower Corner areas of town.
The exhibit and museum will close for the season at the end of September so make a point to come in Wednesday – Saturday, 10:00 – 4:00 before this exhibit becomes a part of history too.
Sandwich Fair
The Sandwich Fair is just over a month away and the Sandwich Fair will celebrate its 107th Fair. The Sandwich Fair Association encourages everyone to take some photos, paint a picture, grow some vegetables, start working on recipes, put up some preserves, finish or start and finish a crafting project …. so that you can exhibit and possible win a ribbon and/or prize at the Fair. Office hours are Tuesday and Thursday 9 am - 2:30 pm (and sometimes other days as well). The 2017 Sandwich Fair will be Columbus Day Weekend, October 7, 8, 9. Information and forms for the Sandwich Fair can be found on line at www.thesandwichfair.com. Exhibitor Handbooks, brochures and posters are available in the fair office and other locations around town. 284-7062.
Three Day Tickets
3 day Adult advance passes to The Sandwich Fair will be available until September 30, 2017 at the following locations: Meredith Village Savings Bank – Moultonborough and Center Harbor Branches and Bank of NH – Moultonborough Branch.
Advisory Budget Committee
It's hard to believe we are already thinking about the Town's 2018 Budget! Please consider serving on the Town's Advisory Budget Committee. Budget Committee meetings are bi-weekly and run from mid-October to mid-February. The day/time (most likely evenings) will be determined once the committee members have been chosen, and will be based on what works for the majority. If you are interested, or have additional questions, please e-mail Cathy Graham at tos@cyberpine.net.
Drivers Needed
Betty Alcock writes: A lot of volunteers head south soon... and the Moultonboro/Sandwich Senior Meals program is very much in need of drivers. The route usually consists of 12 stops (some homes have two individuals who enjoy the meals) and can vary but does average about 30 miles more or less. One day a month, or more would be so appreciated. Please call Donna in Moultonboro (at the old Lion's Club) with any questions you might have. The number is 476-5110. Thank you very much for reading this and even more for responding.
