Everybody loves the Fair! A few weeks ago we attended the Hopkinton Fair in Contoocook. New Hampshire.The temperature had been very hot for this time of year so we all decided to try the Fair at night!I live quite close to the Fairgrounds so my husband, brother, sister-in-law, niece and I grabbed the baby's stroller....and off we went! Of course we have the obligatory Equipment Display! Wouldn't be the Fair without it!                       Not to be out done by       Chainsaw Art! But of course....since it was Dinner Time Food was on everyone's mind!            Never Too Young     The Texas Grill    Guys                                                                                                 Nellie-Vladimir-Steve                                                               ... 09/23/2010

During our recent outing to Gould Hill Orchards in Contoocook we were very pleasantly surprised to stumble upon "The Little Nature Museum" A Hidden Jewel  The Little Nature Museum was established in 1955 in Winthrop MA, by Sandra W. Martin. She is its Founder and Director. It was in Weare NH for 31 years and relocated to Gould Hill in 2000.Sandra is an experienced Science teacher and Naturalist. As a child she was educated in Science throughthe Science program at the Boston Museum of Science.                              Here is Sandra with my husband Geoff...he's headed in to look at fluorescent minerals under Black-light. One of the best aspects of this place are the extensive "Hands on Exhibits"     What a fun destination for a family outing! And the attractions aren't just appealing... 09/13/2010
