It’s a Fall filled weekend in New Hampshire! Check out the events that will get you in the harvest season mood.
Three years ago I met Lexi Ramirez, who was among those people who were camped out at the Hillsborough Couty Courthouse because they had no place else to go. On Nov. 19 Gov. Sununu “solved” the problem when he paid Eric Spofford, formerly of Granite House, to take people away in vans and put them up at his place in Derry. Lexi and about 30 others were whisked away and told they could stay for three months.

The people of New Boston have consistently said “no” to a new fire station, but the federal government this month said a resounding “yes,” awarding a $9.2 million grant that will expand and replace the current out-of-date station.
The ninth annual Manchester Brewfest has now come and gone, but thankfully smiles still come to my face as I think back on it. The rain held off. Many patrons came, with dogs, kids, and adults all happy. Axes were thrown in a safe throwing-cage-on-wheels. Medieval jousting was done for the amusement of all. Delicious smells wafted from meats grilling on open flames. And of course a huge variety of beers were there for tasting.
Celebrating education and putting the “unity” in community is what the annual CelebratED festival at Veterans Park is all about, and that’s what Saturday’s strong showing of students, parents, and educators reflected.
