HALLELUJAH...2021 IS HERE!
After a most unusual of years, Project Sunapee is grateful for the feedback and encouragement we’ve received… even tho the “Happenings” we reported, with a few exceptions, were only virtual.  Along the way, we discovered and shared music videos by both regional and international musicians, artists and photographers who graciously shared their talents, and a sprinkling of irresistible cute animal antics.

Here’s hoping the new year will afford us the opportunity to welcome back all our favorite live entertainment, traditional celebrations and community events ! Doors may have been shut, but the lights did not go out … the pandemic spread fear, but it also inspired resilience, as will be apparent in the days ahead.

Anytime you feel the need for a smile, just play this video of Husky pups strutting along to “Staying Alive”.
