On Aug. 12, the Epsom Friends of the Library will be at the Old Home Day celebration at Webster Park! Join us for some good old fashioned fun! Catch up with your neighbors and friends and of course, stop by the Friends of the Library Lemonade Stand for ice cold lemonade and home made cookies! The Friends of the Library always welcome new members and meet on the third Monday of the month at the Epsom Public Library. Proceeds from our lemonade stand, election day bake sales and the Annual Mums sale, all go to support our awesome library! Mum orders are being taken now and if you have never ordered the Friends of the Library mums, you are missing a chance to have the largest, healthy and beautiful fall flower to decorate your home! Mums cost $8 each or order five for $35! Stop by the Lemonade Stand at Old Home Day or the library to order! As part of our support to the library, the Friends purchase passes to many wonderful N.H. venues! Reserve a pass at the library to visit any of these great places: Strawberry Banke, the Woodman Museum, the SEE Science Center, the American Independence museum, the Millyard Museum and the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center!
August is American Adventures Month, and outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy going on a walk or a hike, or navigating bodies of water to celebrate. As travelers set out for adventures of all kinds, they should never leave home without their Apple iPhone 7 or Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphones. Not only are these devices important for communication purposes, they also can provide tools to support any outdoor trek. U.S. Cellular’s friendly, engaged and knowledgeable associates are ready to assist those interested in learning more about ways to maximize smartphone devices to ensure an enjoyable outdoor excursion. U.S. Cellular will host a free Device Workshop on Wednesday from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the U.S. Cellular store in Concord, located at 240 Loudon Road. The interactive workshop for Concord will provide attendees with information on helpful apps for safety and navigation, as well as tips on how to take the best outdoor photos. Individuals do not need to be a U.S. Cellular customer to attend. For more information on the event, call 230-9883.
The Antique Alley Regional Farmers Market will open for the first time on Friday. This is an expansive community endeavor bringing together volunteer board members, vendors, and sponsors from several area towns in the region where Rockingham, Strafford, Merrimack and Belknap Counties intersect. The board is largely comprised of managers, farmers, and patrons of small, single-town markets in the area that have closed or struggled to stay afloat in recent years. This new regional model aims to adapt to shifting local food economics by tying multiple similar communities together in a unified and more sustainable market structure. The organizers’ goal is to provide for the region surrounding New Hampshire’s Antique Alley a thriving local food scene along the lines of what the Seacoast Eat Local organization offers to its region. The market will be located on Route 4 in Northwood and will run from 4 to 6:30 p.m. every Friday through the end of September, with plans to open for a full season in 2018.
