The Moose, NH Summer Stop and Shop, August 2022

Explore Moose Mountains' (EMM) Summer Stop and Shop event kicked off Aug. 1, and will take place during the entire month of August. EMM hopes that with  a full month, those looking to participate won't feel rushed and will have the opportunity to visit multiple participating locations.

Each participating business has their own hours for the event and offers a unique experience.

For every stop made during the event, participants will receive an entry into a raffle for a gift card from each participating stop. The more stops you make over the month, the more chances you'll have. No purchase necessary. Simply print out a "stop tracker" and have it signed at each stop. The raffle is EMM's additional thanks for those coming out and supporting local!

Can't print? Three will be printed copies at some participating locations including the Stall Shoppe & Ira Miller's General Store starting August 3, as well as at the Moose Mountains Farmers Market on August 5 & 19).

Learn more about the raffle and which stores are participating online.
