PEEK at the Week: August 6
PEEK into the PAST: Click the image above to see a Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce insert in Foster's Daily Democrat on July 2, 1992. The insert laid out a full schedule of 1992's CAF shows featuring a Wednesday Lunch Series, Friday Concert Series, and Sunday Series.

This year, the series are different than the norm, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the arts together while socially distanced! Check out our Cochecho Arts Festival blurb below to see the details.

For more historical content, check out the Chamber's Instagram and Facebook. Peek into the Past is a special section running in PEEK this year to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Chamber.

Virtual NH Maker & Food Fest
Saturday, August 29

Because of the special challenges 2020 is presenting us all, The Children's Museum of NH decided this year the Fest will be virtual! So here is what it will look like:
  1. The Fest will still take place on Saturday, August 29th, but instead of anything in-person at the museum, all content will be online, and will remain online for one week only.
  2. The Children's Museum of New Hampshire will be providing 150 free Maker Fest Activity kits that people can reserve online beginning August 4th, on a first-come, first-served basis, that will include all sorts of fun activities and projects that can be done at home. Kits must be picked up in person at the museum on Wednesday, August 26 between 3-5pm, so please be sure you are available to pick them up during that time before reserving your kit. Because we have a limited number of kits, we ask that you only reserve one kit per family.
