CLASS OF 2020!
We celebrate all high school & college graduates success and wish them well on their new journey.  

Traditions are a bit askew in times of this pandemic of 2020, but our message to graduates is… “You’ve shown grit and determination, adapted and persevered to complete this past year of studies. These traits will hold you in good stead in the future.  To quote Dr. Seuss “Oh, the places you will go!”  

Sunapee’s graduates & families will gather at Mt. Sunapee on Friday, June 5th.  Details re: the ceremony and celebratory parade here:   Parade Route

Take a ride on “ Senior Way" (aka: Lower Main Street) to see the banners honoring each member of the senior class.

Repeating by request:  “Graduate Together” 
RIGHT TO VOTE
Tomorrow, June 4th is a very significant day in History. On June 4, 1919, Congress, by joint resolution, approved the woman’s suffrage amendment and sent it to the states for ratification. Our mothers and grandmothers voted in a presidential election for the first time in November 1919. link

Chamber’s “Love Local” campaign…

"THINK GLOBAL, SHOP LOCAL"
“Think Global, Shop Local”. Especially in these uncertain times, that old adage is quite apropos. Please patronize our local essential businesses and restaurants, especially if you expect to see their doors open when the virus is but a memory. Or perhaps, purchase a gift certificate from those who remain closed until further notice from the state.

As this situation is complex and it’s impact on our communities is evolving rapidly, business owners revisit plans and update weekly. We recommend checking your favorites on their websites & daily Facebook posts.

Takeout/pickup orders from Fenton’s Landing in Sunapee Harbor comes with a 'thank you’ greeting guaranteed to bring a smile.
Curbside pickup at Blue Loon Bakery is brought to your car by affable staff in costume… you will drive away smiling as the aroma of fresh baked bread & pastries wafts thru the car.
