Sunapee Happenings

AUTUMNAL

ASTRONOMICAL HAPPENINGS

On Saturday night there will be the rare second October full “Blue Moon” to light up the sky for HALLOWEEN revelers. The next full Halloween moon will not occur until the year 2039!

Then, on the day prior to November Election an asteroid is targeting our planet. Astrophysicists predict that a Space Rock, the size of a refrigerator, traveling at 25K mph will hit Earth! … the good news is: asteroid is not expected to cause serious damage.

So far, 2020 has reshaped just about every holiday on the calendar. So why would Halloween be the exception? The truth is, it isn’t. We are all still very much in a mode of social distancing, of keeping our family as safe as possible and of finding some balance and normalcy in our everyday lives and how we celebrate. Thanks to local town and safety officials, each community in the greater Lake Sunapee area, has a plan for a fun (& frightful) night with a few tweaks, always focused on keeping kids safe in a pandemic while having fun.

“Trick-or-Treating” is now more like “Grab and Go”.

No Tricks Just Treat Yourself to a Movie Night

Since trick-or-treating this year is extra tricky, we have compiled a list of Halloween and fall movies the whole family can enjoy to get you in the spirit this weekend.

These movies are best enjoyed with a side of popcorn and candy — while wearing your Halloween costume and dancing to "the Monster Mash," of course!

Now, without further ado...

"Happy to announce that following last week’s mention of Project Sunapee's pledge to sponsor one of the exercise stops on the Girl Scouts’ Fit Trail, "Stacy’s Smoothies” immediately stepped up to sponsor another of the stops and both donors now challenge other businesses to step up and do the same. This is going to be a really great new trail along the banks of the Sugar River for exercise & enjoyment of all.

Project Sunapee has pledged to sponsor one of the 10 exercise stops along the Trail and challenges other Sunapee nonprofits, civic groups and businesses to do the same.

VOTE

Residents of small towns are made of the same flesh & blood and are just as fallible as anyone of us. Born of a decade of observation, time and involvement of our community, Project Sunapee, volunteers all, understand that small towns are really tight. People may not all necessarily love each other… but in the end there is a deep sense of “we’re all in this together” and they tend, more often than not, to have each others’ back. There is a survival ethic driving so much of what goes on out there, people generally get along and make things work because they simply have to. There is a great deal that the rest of America might learn from small, tight, high functioning communities such as those in the greater Lake Sunapee area. Perseverance in the pursuit of understanding and practice is among the virtues we all need now more than ever. Take care of one another, take care of yourself and those you love… because it is, after all, that time in the order of things. … and Please do VOTE!
