Weathersfield News June 29, 2016
The first week of summer was hot
and busy. July starts Friday and this weekend is packed with parades and
fireworks to help you celebrate the Fourth of July. I've created a list of
things you might want to do around our area this weekend-see below. I can smell
the Reading Chicken BBQ already!
Front Porch Concerts, Lebanon Recreation and Parks Thursday nights at Colburn Park Lebanon NH. FREE music every Thursday until August 18, right after the Farmer's Market on the green
Basia Bulat opened the series last week.
Friday Night Jason Mraz sold out the Lebanon Opera House. What a great show, so glad I got to see it.
Sunday, I attended a guided Eshqua Bog Walk with Dean and Susan Greenberg for Vermont Coverts
Also on Sunday I visited, Horses Connecting with Veterans at Kate Adams's Farm in Weathersfield. Great program, right in our backyards.
Finishing off my rounds on Sunday, House Rep. Donna Sweaney retired after 20 years serving the folks in Windsor and they held a party in her honor.
