Make Hay while the Sun Shines...
It's been a wet season so far, which isn't as bad as a drought, but it does make it hard for our farmers to get their hay in before it's too late. Rain or shine, enjoy each day as though you are making hay while the sun shines. You are making the hay of life!!

Spring / Summer Cleaning?
As the weather warms (FINALLY!) and you do your belated spring cleaning, please remember the Sandwich Ladies Aid White Elephant Sale during Old Home Week in August! Donate your lightly used (or new!) decorations, small appliances & electronics, furniture, media, etc. [no clothing or shoes, please.] You can even take your goods to Sue Speers’ at 36 Taylor Road (Taylor is on the left beyond the dump road). Put your donations in the WAYBACK part of the White Barn, just past the house – anytime. This is the Ladies Aid’s biggest fundraiser, with the proceeds funding charity donations throughout the year. We appreciate your helping us in this ministry!
Sandwich Farmer's Market
The Sandwich Farmers' Market cordially invites you to consider being a new vendor. Do you make cheese, grow vegetables, make lovely crafts or art objects? How about chocolate candy? Or baskets? The market welcomes vendors of all kinds. Come every week or just occasionally. A table is $5 per market or vendors can pay a seasonal fee. The market is on Wednesdays, 4 to 6 p.m., Church St., and beginning July 1, on Saturdays, 9 to 11:30 a.m. in the Corner House parking lot. Please call Monty, market secretary, at 284-6800 to make arrangements.
Fire Permits Required
Sandwich Forest Fire Warden, Jim Mykland, writes: Fire permits are now required for all outside burning. With a permit you may burn allowable materials between 5 PM and 9 AM. Allowable materials are brush smaller than 5 inches in diameter and unpainted, untreated wood (No pressure treated wood, nothing with paint, stain or varnish) no lather than 5 inches. That's it, no building debris, no metal, no insulation. The pile has to be attended whenever you are burning and it has to be extinguished when you are finished or by 9 am. Do not leave it to go out be itself.
Permits can be obtained at the Town Hall during normal business hours, at the Fire Station when there is someone there or on-line anytime at www.nhdfl.org, just follow the links. An on-line permit will cost $3.00. Please use common sense and don't burn on dry, windy days even if you have a permit. The weather changes quickly in the spring. Remember you are liable for extinguishment costs if the fire escapes your control. Any questions, please contact Jim at 603-284-6450. Be safe out there!
For your convenience, Ben Adriance at 368 Whiteface Road is now issuing fire permits for brush burning. This is the house just north of the Whiteface Fire Station on Rt. 113A. For seasonal permits please continue to contact me. Permits are also available at the Town Hall during business hours or at the Fire Station if someone is there. Permits are also available on-line, for a fee, through the NH Division of Forests and Lands. Jim Mykland, Forest Fire Warden,603-284-6450
