The chili cook-off will take place in Sandwich Elementary school 12:00-1:30 pm. There are lots of talented chefs in our community, we encourage you to all to bring your best pot of chili. Please bring your chili in a crock pot so it will stay warm throughout the contest, and we ask that you provide a ladle or serving spoon. We will provide everything else.
We are also asking local artists to bring one art piece to put on display. We are hoping for a variety of pieces from artists of all ages. School aged theme is snowless snow man. Get creative!
A cardboard sled derby will start at 1:30pm on the hill at the back of Sandwich Elementary School. Prizes for all participants. Bring a sled to enjoy the hill once the sled derby is finished.
Come up to Remick Park in North Sandwich between 3:30 – 5:00 pm for family ice skating, hot chocolate, and hot dogs. We will have marshmallows for roasting over the fire. This is a family skating time, so please leave your hockey sticks home.
Looking forward to seeing folks at some, or all, of these events. We may add more to the day, so stay keep an eye on the sandwichboard, follow us on Facebook at: Sandwich NH Parks & Recreation, or visit the Parks and Recreation page on the town website: sandwichnh.org. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thanks, Ole Anderson, Sandwich Parks and Recreation Director(603) 284-6473 sandwichrecreation@gmail.com
