Get outside and learn about local nature! Jackie Germain and Jody Sloane of the Warner Conservation Commission have RESCHEDULED the FREE Autumn Nature Scavenger Hunt to Sunday Nov. 7 at 10 am at Silver Lake (Town Beach) on Bean Road. There will be a story time, and treats for the kids after the scavenger hunt. Costumes are still welcomed.
The rain last Saturday (2.5 inches in parts of Warner) caused the brooks to reach flood stage, which would have made some activities less safe.
The rainfall also partially refilled the "lake", which has been drawn down to prepare for repairs. Otters were seen this week, as well as wild turkeys. The water level is low again now to enable replacement of a valve at the dam, and a culvert repair.

The NH Mobil Covid Van event for vaccinations and boosters on Friday Oct. 29 at Pine Rock Manor was very well attended. (Photo, Bob Heslop)
Town vaccination data: It has been reported that vaccination numbers in NH have not been including data from pharmacy locations, so the Town by Town data that were being reported in recent weeks are now considered too low.
To get a COVID-19 vaccine: vaccines.nh.gov or call 211. Vaccinations for Covid-19 are FREE, and available for ages 12 and up, Pfizer and Moderna boosters are available for over 65 or high risk/immune compromised people, including some mental diagnoses.

To allow for distancing, it will be held in the Frank Maria Meeting Room on the carpets, not in the Children's room. Parents and children older than 3 will be asked to wear masks.
There is story reading, with songs and finger-plays. After that, there is always a craft to create and bring home. Of course you can always visit the children's room afterwards and borrow books!
