ISSUE NO. 268 / September 1, 2021

Sunapee Happenings
Summer has been a time of creative adapting, theater under tents, dinner on outdoor patios, music & movies on the town green… tho some traditional events were postponed for another year.  But mostly, everyone was feeling the pent up positive energy, attributable to all of us being recently confined by the pandemic. Every village and town in the Lake Sunapee region was bustling like never before, even as we were sobered by the upsurge of the Delta variant and the need to sustain our vigilance even as we were all beginning to (literally) breathe a little easier.  The good news is that we were out & about enjoying favorite pastimes that didn't exist a year ago.
