As you may be aware, Japanese Knotweed, an invasive plant, is becoming a scourge in New London and surrounding towns. The New London Conservation Commission and Ausbon Sargent are jointly sponsoring a presentation to shed light on the problem and to help property owners deal with this noxious pest.

The presenter is Doug Cygan, the Invasive Species Coordinator for the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture. Doug is most knowledgeable about the general problem of invasive plants in New Hampshire.

Mark your calendar! The next Coffee with the Chief is on SUNDAY, August 15, 2021 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at The Livery located 58 Main Street and will be sponsored by the Sunapee Heritage Alliance.

Following the long standing New England tradition, of recognizing the oldest resident of the town, the Boston Cane was presented to Herbert Linwood Stiles II, by the Sunapee Board of Selectmen. Family and friends gathered round to celebrate with the honoree. Don’t be surprised if you see Herb, whose vigor belies his 97 years, walking to the Post Office, Boston Cane in hand. 

Mr. Stiles posed with his commemorative replica of the Town’s Boston Cane for an official photo with Select Board members, Suzanne Gottling, Josh Trow, Carol Wallace & Jeremy Hathorn. The original cane is displayed at Town Hall with the engraved names of recipients from previous years. 

Every Saturday morning 8:30-11:30

See you at the Farmer’s Market in Sunapee Harbor.

Governor Sununu has proclaimed the month of August as "New Hampshire Eats Local Month”, the annual celebration of New Hampshire’ food and agriculture production. August is the peak of the summer growing season.

Farmers’ Markets, such as Sunapee’s, provide a tremendous diversity of NH products.

I am a mom, an artist, and a cook. I love incorporating nature and teacups into my wool art. I use mostly local wool from NH sheep farms.
