Peek at the Week: September 16
Community Happenings
Children's Museum Maker & Food Fest
Saturday, September 18
10am to 3pm

The NH Maker & Food Fest is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. From engineers to artists to scientists, to chefs, the Maker & Food Fest is a venue for these "makers" to show hobbies, experiments, projects, and for all of us to enjoy fantastic food! The museum collaborated with the Dover Chamber of Commerce this year to bring Fest-goers two performances that are part of their Cochecho Arts Festival series. Magic Fred will perform a children's show at 10am, and the Kenny Brothers Band will end the Fest at 3pm with a folk rock show.
