It must be all this rainfall (& more from Henri), mixed with days full of sunshine... but this has been an incredible summer for witnessing nature’s bounty... be it in the forest where fungi/mushrooms of every species are popping up, the tasty bounty at Farmer’s Markets and when every walk in the garden, brilliant with color, sparks imagination. |

We just flew over the East Coast and saw #HurricaneHenri. Stay safe, friends.

Apple Pie Crafts Fair
Saturday, August 28, 2021
9am-3pm
Newport Town Common
* Rain or Shine
We are pleased to announce that we are proceeding with plans for the 2021 Fair! 2020 would have marked the historic 47th Annual Apple Pie Crafts Fair–one of New England’s longest running craft fairs on the Newport Town Common. It was with a heavy heart that the Library Arts Center had to cancel last summer’s Fair in the interest of public health due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Every year, more than 3000 New Englanders make their way to Newport from all around the state of New Hampshire, and New England to enjoy 100+ booths of handmade crafts, including pottery, woodworking, glass, fiber arts and more. The fair also features live music, and the famous apple pie contest & sale. Library Arts Center

“We can’t help you, if we can’t find you."
Have you ordered your reflective house numbers yet?
Did you know that there is a town ordinance in Sunapee that requires your house number to be clearly visible from the road? #9 of the Sunapee "Street Naming and Numbering Ordinance" states that "...owners of all buildings that are numbered will cause these numbers to be affixed in a place that is readily visible from the numbered way with the unaided eye in natural daylight. These numbers will be at least four inches high and in a contrasting color to the background." Having your house number clearly visible from the road helps us to be able to respond quickly to the correct house in an emergency!
The Sunapee Fire Department Association is running a new fundraiser that will allow you to purchase a hi-vis reflective house number that conforms to the Sunapee Town Ordinance and will greatly aide in our response to help in our town. LEARN MORE
