Lace up your running shoes, don a costume and join the runners in Sunapee's 15th Annual "Turkey Trot” or in the “Chicken Run” for the kids. Good luck, runners all!
The Lake Sunapee Turkey Trot has become a wonderful family tradition for more than 800 racers. Grab your family and friends, throw on a costume (optional, but really fun and highly encouraged), work off some calories, and make this great event a part of your Thanksgiving tradition!
Sunapee Recreation will be selling hot foods in a collector’s mug for $20 and empty mugs are $15 each.
Registration is at the Livery in Sunapee Harbor tonight from 4-7 pm and tomorrow morning from 7-8 am.
The Sunapee Parent Teacher Organization will hold a pie sale during the Pre-Registration as well as on race day. Pies will be $10 each, and it is a great way to support the SPTO as well as get out having to bake!

CFA's First Friday "Tidings of Joy"
|
|
The Center for the Arts is pleased to announce a special holiday concert this year featuring the Munholand String Quartet and The Lowe Profiles. Come and enjoy the sounds of the season at the Black Box Theatre (located adjacent to Ivy Hall) on the campus of Colby-Sawyer College. The evening starts with an opening reception at 6:30 pm followed by the concert.
The Munholand String Quartet consisting of siblings Ezra, Noah, Anya, and Petra Munholand have been playing together since Petra was five years old. All four began their study of music very young, with Ezra and Noah playing the violin, Anya playing the cello and Petra playing the viola. The group, now in high school and college, has received praise from many regional groups and are excited to perform this Holiday Concert for the community.
The Lowe Profiles, made up of sisters Susie Lowe-Stockwell, Kathy Lowe-Bloch, and Kim Lowe-Beaton, have been singing together since childhood. Growing up in a family of Vaudeville and circus performers, they have fine-tuned their craft to the delight of all. Kathy pursued a career as a singer-songwriter giving the sisters several original Christmas songs to perform along with many traditional holiday classics. Their ability to draw the audience into their music is treat for all!
Please note the seating at the Black Box Theater is limited so please come early. Covid protocols will be in place. Donations at the door will be greatly accepted.
