Woman Plans New Adventure Following 1,000-Mile Alaskan TrekBy Thomas P. CaldwellOn the one hand, there was the fear

that she would make a fool of herself. On the other hand was her greater fear, that she would grow old and regret not having followed her dream.

With that in mind, Kristin Gates de-cided to try backpacking along Ver-mont’s Long Trail as a prelude to more ambitious through-hiking adventures. She originally thought she might hike the Appalachian Trail after she retired; instead, she became one of the young-est people ever to hike the Triple Crown — the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, and the Continental Divide Trail — and, last year, at age 26, she became the first woman to hike alone across 1,000 miles of the Arctic Brooks Range in Alaska.

As harrowing as that trip was at times, it confirmed for Kristin that life as an adventurer was what she wanted. She already is making plans to return to Alaska this year to hike the Yukon Trail which is twice as long as the route she took in the Brooks Range.

For Kristen, whose grandparents live in Meredith and whose parents now reside in Moultonborough, the experi-ence of long-distance hiking in remote areas is both a challenge and an op-portunity. She deals with the challenge through detailed advance planning. The opportunities are what make it all worthwhile.

As a solo hiker, Kristin has found it to be much easier to strike up a conver-sation with the people she meets; and in hiking an area where there are no roads

or trails, she found that the people she encountered in remote regions were even friendlier, treating her to welcome meals, teaching her to fish, and inviting her to see how they live.

When there are no people, there are the animals and the vistas to appreci-ate.

Kristen kept track of her journeys through a video journal and has posted some of the clips on a public blog as well as on her website, milesforbreak-fast.com. She also has been making public presentations to help raise mon-ey for her Yukon trip and she recently spoke to an enthusiastic audience at the Moultonborough Public Library.

She explains that she got the hik-ing bug when she accompanied her father on a hike up Mount Jackson, one of New Hampshire’s 4,000-foot peaks, when she was eight-years-old. They would hike all 48 of the state’s 4,000-footers, finishing with Mount Liberty when she was 15.

For all that, she had never done back-packing and overnight trips until she hiked the Long Trail which runs the en-tire 270-mile length of Vermont, from the Massachusetts border to Canada. She admits she made some stupid de-cisions, such as carrying a 60-pound backpack and old sleeping bag she had had for years, but she persevered and completed the trip. “The hardest thing is taking that first step,” she said.

After that, it was a matter of working her way up with more and more diffi-cult journeys.

When she had hiked the bulk of the

Continental Divide Trail after her grad-uation from Colby College in Maine, she knew she loved the lifestyle, but she had no immediate plans to do more through-hiking; instead, she took a job as a river guide on the Koyukuk River in Alaska. “I was hired as a river guide, but I hadn’t rafted a day in my life,” she said. However, with characteristic re-solve, she plunged forward and learned on the way.

That winter, she moved to Coldfoot, Alaska, where she gave aurora borealis tours and learned to mush sled dogs. “The first time I took the team out by myself at night and the aurora was burning across the sky and the dogs couldn’t get out of the lot fast enough, I thought, ‘Oh, no. I love this. That’s it. I’m in real trouble now.’” she wrote.

“[A]ny hope of a normal life is down the drain.”

While in Coldfoot, she met a 57-year-old man who had lived in Alaska all his life, and he suggested that she hike the Brooks Range. Kristin dismissed the idea at first: Although she had done longer hikes in the Lower 48, they were on marked trails with plenty of places to resupply. The Brooks Range had no trail and she would be totally alone.

However, the more she thought about it, the more the wilderness called to her, so she began researching the area. Spreading out US Geological Survey maps and picking out points of inter-est she wanted to see, she marked out a route that would take her over some

passes (“If it had a name, I knew some-one had passed through there and it was probably safe,” she said. “If there was no name, I would avoid it.”) and through valleys where she could look ahead and pick out the best route.

She sent supply boxes to some of the villages she planned to pass through on the route, and arranged for food drops by air on the upper Chandalar River and the Wind River. John Gaedeke, who owns a lodge in the Brooks Range, rafted a food cache in bear-proof canis-ters down to the confluence of the Alat-na and Kobuk rivers, leaving them for her to pick up when she came through.

In order to maintain contact with her parents, Kristin used a Spot satellite beacon which she had picked up earlier for her other through-hikes. The device allowed her to send a daily signal to her parents’ email address to let them know she was safe and to provide her GPS co-ordinates so they could track her jour-ney. The Spot also has buttons to send a distress signal for non-life-threatening situations and a 911 call if she should find herself in serious trouble.

For the Alaska trip, she also pur-chased a satellite phone with texting capability as another means of com-municating with home. For entertain-ment, she had an iPod, and she carried portable solar panels to recharge her devices.

Knowing that she might encounter bears, Kristin also researched what she should take along for protection. While she considered carrying a gun, she set-

tled on bear mace, which has proven to be effective in deterring bear attacks. “When a bear is charg-ing, people don’t always shoot straight, and a wounded bear is even more danger-ous,” she said.

Bush pilot Kirk Sweetsir, with whom she had consulted when mak-ing her plans, flew her to the dropoff spot and handed her another can of bear spray before taking off. Suddenly she was all alone.

For the eastern portion of her trip, she could not use a raft because the riv-ers flowed the wrong way. That meant hiking over the rough terrain, much of it aufeis — frozen overflow from the river that develops deep crevices — or marshy areas that developed in the summer on top of the permafrost. She learned to seek the gravel areas where the footing was drier and more stable, but she also often had to bushwhack through some areas, and there were some river crossings where she wished she had invested in a dry suit.

Kristin camped on the hillsides, far from the rivers where she knew animals would congregate, but she still encoun-tered 20 grizzly bears and two black

b e a r s , along with many cari-bou that had not yet headed to their s u m m e r t e r r i to r y, and some w o l v e s . She told of awakening one morn-ing to see wolf tracks around her tent and, turning a corner, saw them head-

ing away from her. When she continued in the other direction, she soon came upon a grizzly bear eating the carcass of a caribou the wolves had killed.

She said that, unlike in Yellowstone Park where the bears are used to seeing people and associate them with food, the Alaskan bears are not used to see-ing people and they generally run away.

The first 300 miles were pleas-ant with the temperature sometimes reaching 80 degrees, and in the sum-mer, the sun never sets, so there was no need for a headlamp, Kristin said. When she reached the Dalton Highway, which had been build for the Alaskan Pipeline, she took a break to visit with friends before continuing on her jour-

ney. “Leaving was very difficult,” she admitted.

She did have company for the trip, though. She said that, after the second week, she was surrounded by mosqui-toes for the rest of the journey. Some mornings she did not want to leave her tent; but she was able to cover up with netting and light gloves and she made the best of it.

Making it to the Anaktuvuk Pass, she came upon the most remote village on the Continental Divide, accessible only by airplane, snowmobile, or on foot. The 300 inhabitants, many descendants of the last of the nomadic people who finally settled down there, were very welcoming and helpful to her, as were others she would encounter along the way.

After that, she was able to use her packraft, a five-pound, inflatable raft that she could carry in her backpack when not navigating on the river.

One of her goals was to get to the Great Kubuk Sand Dunes and she was delighted to reach a spot that few peo-ple have seen, the only dunes in the arctic.

The last stages of her journey were more difficult, as she paddled against headwinds to get to Kiana. There she learned that she would have two days of good weather before a period of bad weather would make paddling very dif-ficult — and she had 100 miles to go. So she got up at 3 a.m. and headed out, paddling desperately to get across Lake Kubuk to Kotzebue before the weather

turned. It meant stopping only briefly to sleep or take bathroom breaks over a three-day period. When she finally completed the journey, she set her cam-era on a timer to get her victory photo, holding her paddle over her head in a victory salute.

“I headed west facing cavernous au-feis, giant grizzlies, raging river cross-ings, ravenous mosquitoes, impossibly steep scree slopes, and cruel winds,” she wrote. “I saw wolves, caribou, wol-verines, and bald eagles. I spent time with locals who taught me how to catch Sheefish and Chum Salmon and how to eat Eskimo Potatoes. I visited the Great Kobuk Sand Dunes, paddled across the feared Kobuk Lake and found myself standing at the edge of the Chukchi sea. The trip was 1,000 miles in all … It took 51 days.”

As for future adventures, she writes, “I refuse to leave until I have met every starry eyed, daydreaming dog musher and every fiercely independent home-steader and every wiry, wizened gold miner.”

Asked whether she planned to write about her journeys, Kristin said she al-ready has a first draft of a book about the Alaskan trip she has completed, and she hopes to make a living (and fund future trips) through her writing.

Those who want to learn more about Kristin Gates’ travels and perhaps to do-nate to her Yukon adventure can learn more by going to milesforbreakfast.com, or emailing her at miles4break-fast@gmail.com. (The basis for the name? Kristin says she has been “eating miles for breakfast since the 1900s”.)

Blues Pioneer and Rock Icon To Share Plymouth Stage

Blues veteran James “Superharp” Cotton and guitarist Jay Geils will give a live performance at the Flying Monkey Performance Center in Plymouth on Friday, May 30, at 7:30 p.m.

Cotton is revered by critics and fans alike as one of the all-time greats. Geils is best known as founder of the J. Geils Band and, more recently, for transitioning into a blues guitarist.

As a small boy, Cotton learned to the play the harmonica from Sonny Boy Williams. He toured with Howlin’ Wolf and spent 12 years with Muddy Waters before stepping out on his own. Leading his own band, he toured the world, earning his reputation as one of the most powerful live blues performers in the world. The J. Geils Band was one of the leading acts in the history of rock and roll but, after a 25-year career of selling millions of records, earning a Grammy and Hall of Fame nomination, and touring with the Allman Brothers Band and the Rolling Stones, the band quit, with a number one single and number

one album still on the charts.Jay went on to pursue the blues with

J. Geils band mate Magic Dick for two successful blues recordings as the band Bluestime. Tours of Europe, Japan, and the United States followed, including some with Jay’s longtime idol and friend, B.B King.

“I started as a trumpet player but got sidetracked by the guitar and the blues and folk revolution sweeping the world in the 1960s,” Jay said. “I was fortunate to play and record with many great blues and rock musicians, including Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, Mike Bloomfield, Paul Butterfield, Bonnie Raitt, John Lee Hooker, Peter Frampton, Duane Allman and, of course, the J. Geils Band. It was an exciting time in my life, but I look forward to the future performing the music I first loved, the blues.”

Tickets for James Cotton Band featuring Jay Geils are on sale at www.flyingmonkeynh.com and at 603-536-2551.

Seeking A Greener Lakes RegionNatural Roots & Remedies LLC,

located in the Patrick’s Pub Plaza, 28 Weirs Road, Gilford, will hold the next meeting of A Greener Lakes Region (AGLR), a collaborative initiative between Prescott Farm Environmental Education Center and the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce. The topic of the meeting, scheduled Wednesday, May 28, at 10 a.m., is Local Foods.

Chellsey Latham, owner of Natural Roots & Remedies LLC, will discuss her health food store offerings, including vitamins, supplements, and local foods, as well as holistic health consulting services. There will be samples from Brookford Farm and Canterbury Bread Shop.

“We are what we eat and we want to pass that value of quality nutrition for generations to come,” Sharon Camasso said. Sharon is Chellsey’s mother and she works closely with her. “Whether

you are already someone that leads a healthy lifestyle, just starting to, or need that extra push to get started, this is a great opportunity for that.”

“It’s a journey, a starting point,” agreed Chellsey.

Kelly McAdam, field specialist for Food & Agriculture with the UNH Cooperative Extension-Belknap/Strafford County also will speak, touching on the local food initiatives in place for the Lakes Region and providing copies of the 2013-2014 NH Lakes Region Local Food Guide.

Attendance is free but space is limited. Register online at www.lakesregionchamber.org or call 603-524-5531.

AGLR is an initiative for people of the Lakes Region who are looking to lead a “greener” lifestyle and businesses looking to incorporate “green” practices and become sustainable.

New for 2014: Live Coyote Exhibit!

o n t r a i l a d m i s s i o n

Meet the Animals at Squam Lakes Natural Science CenterBy Sarah WrightWhat animals lurk in the woods of

New Hampshire? To find out, explore the Gephart Exhibit Trail at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness, where you can see native animals of the state up close. The three-quarter-mile trail is an easy trek through the woods, with exhibits along the way.

All of the animals at the Science Center have been rehabilitated after being either injured or orphaned in the wild. Visitors will learn about habitats, adaptation, interrelationships, and population through various informational displays.

The trail starts just beyond the welcome center. The first exhibit is the Trailhead Gallery, and it includes a new feature about wood energy, explaining how two wood boilers are able to provide heat for all five buildings on the 230-acre campus. The same building houses white-footed mice and two barred owls.

Next is one of the most popular areas

for children, the Life Underground exhibit, where visitors can learn about worms and ants and watch the wild chipmunks feed.

New this year is the coyote exhibit. The male coyote featured in the exhibit had been used in educational programs for years. When the center acquired an orphaned female pup last year, the staff decided to train her for the program, with the male coyote enjoying “retirement” in his own habitat.

The Ecotone Mammal area is next, with three red foxes, a striped skunk (who takes turns with a gray fox in the enclosure), three bobcats, mountain lions, and a boardwalk that crosses over the white-tailed deer exhibit. This is my favorite part, because you have a great view looking down at all the deer as they cross under you.

If you’d like to see more of the mountain lions, there’s a training session in their enclosure every Thursday at noon (included in the admission price). The naturalists at the center prefer not to tranquilize animals

for veterinary care, so they train the mountain lions to roll on their backs and present their shoulders for inoculations. Then they’re given a treat. If you ask me, any v e t e r i n a r i a n who will give a shot to a fully awake m o u n t a i n lion deserves an award for bravery!

At that point on the trail, visitors can choose to take a slight detour for Kirkwood G a r d e n s . A beautiful garden which s h o w c a s e s n a t u r a l l a n d s c a p i n g , it’s a great place to relax and put your feet up for a while. There’s always something blooming and it’s a haven for bumblebees and butterflies. Feel free to enjoy a picnic lunch there or purchase a snack at the Kirkwood Café.

When you’re done with your rest, continue back onto the main trail to the otter exhibit. The river otters are very playful, and the playfulness really comes out during feeding times, featured at 11:30 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for the public.

Families with young children will appreciate the Gordon Children’s Center, with its big rope spider web and groundhog tunnels under the floor. There are lots of learning opportunities for children (as well as adults) there, too.

When playtime is over, visit the black bears.

Climb up the stairs in the educational cabin to see the bears from a higher vantage point. I find that they’re usually sleeping, but one of the great things about Squam Lakes

Natural Science Center is that

you can a l w a y s find the animals in

the exhibits. Bird lovers

will enjoy the next exhibits which feature songbirds and then raptors, like hawks and eagles.

After the p l e a s a n t Wetlands Walk,

you’ll reach the end of the trail and the final exhibit.

Visitors can learn about the land under their feet in the New Hampshire geology exhibit. Children will enjoy climbing on the large boulders.

At that point, you can either visit the gift shop or choose to explore one

of three hiking trails: the Forest Trail, the Ecotone

Trail (which skirts the woods and a large field),

and the Mount Fayal Trail, a one-mile loop to the top of

Mount Fayal. The center and animal

exhibit trail are open from May 1 through Nov. 1, from 9:30 a.m.

to 4:30 p.m. (although there are snowshoe tours in the wintertime). For the summer season, in July and August, naturalists on the staff

Agritourism: Fun on the FarmBy Kathi Caldwell-Hopper

Had George Washington looked far into the future, he would have seen that his thoughts would still hold true these many years later. Today, farming is a big part of the nation’s economy and, in New Hampshire, it has merged with tourism to create a fairly new term called agritourism.

From country agricultural fairs to farm hayrides to pick-your-own berries and pumpkins, shopping at farmer’s markets and dining at farm-to-table events, farming has never been more popular with tourists and local residents.

Just what is agritourism? According to a State of New Hampshire definition, the term means “attracting visitors to a working farm for the purpose of eating a meal, making overnight stays, enjoyment of the farm environment, education on farm operations, or active involvement in the activity of the farm which is ancillary to the farm operation.”

“Agritourism has really been around for decades,” said Gail McWilliam Jellie, director of Agricultural Development at the NH Department of Agriculture, Markets & Food. Gail should know because she has been an advocate of agriculture in the state and she knows a lot about promoting farming and its many aspects.

She is aware that visitors have long been attracted to farms, whether to stop at a roadside stand for fresh corn or to watch a farmer harvesting a crop in days gone by, or to watch a skilled farm hand milking a cow.

“The movement is very beneficial to tourism: If visitors are not knowledgeable about farming, they find it attractive to learn more. Visiting a farm for a tour, for a hayride or other

activity, brings back fond childhood memories for many. It has been one of the many draws to the state,” she added.

Agritourism can be as simple as a farm inviting the public to take advantage of pick-your-own strawberries or other fruits and vegetables. It can be a corn maze in the late summer/fall or a chance to buy a pumpkin and take a hayride on a farm, or pet charming farm animals or having the chance to milk a cow.

If you have never done any of these things, it can be a powerful, positive experience to walk the farm’s fields, meet cows and other farm animals up close, and to talk with the farm’s owners about their work and lifestyle.

Added to this, the push for eating healthier, homegrown foods attracts visitors to agritourism. The farm-to-table movement has exploded in New Hampshire and many restaurants now serve meals with local, farm-fresh produce and meats.

“Early on, farmers got involved in getting visitors to their farms for a special event, but now agritourism is a continuous, big way to generate income for many farms, such as guests paying to participate in a corn maze or to pick fresh strawberries,” said Gail.

Tai Freligh, speaking for the Office of NH Tourism, agrees. He works with farms to generate wine-and-cheese and brewery tour maps, among

other marketing initiatives to promote agritourism. “The activities centered around farming in the state of New Hampshire, such as tours, farm-to-table events, and farm programs where people can actually milk a cow, taste the food, and get out on a farm, are very popular,” he says.

To underscore the growth of agritourism, Tai noted that the first wine-and-cheese tour map the state produced had about 14 locations; there are now at least 25 locations on the map.

“Agritourism has been a big thing in the state for at least six years, if not longer. It continues to grow,” he said.

The Lakes Region is a big agritourism part of the state, with a number of farms offering activities that allow visitors to experience many aspects of life on a farm.

Gail says that the last census, in 2007, saw 88 farms in the state, which was up substantially from the prior census numbers. Along with the increase in the number of farms come more and more agritourism activities to help the economy.

At Moulton Farm, located on Quarry Road in Meredith, there are a number of popular activities that draw visitors from spring through autumn. A wonderful event to get youngsters involved in the farm experience is the Little Sprouts Garden Club at Moulton Farm. Once a month, from June through September, children between the ages of five and nine can go into the farm’s fields to explore how food grows. During each session, children search for and pick the ripe vegetable or fruit being explored that day. They also get to bring their bounty home to show off and eat. The experience teaches children about gardening methods, insects, worms, watering, the sun,

and more. While many children come for each of the four sessions during the growing season, the activities are planned so children who come only one time still learn and have fun.

Also at Moulton’s, the entire family can get involved in farming with the Community Gardening program. According to information on the farm’s website, those who do not have time or space for a small garden can take advantage of five plots of garden space at Moulton’s. Each area is designated for the season to plant what items a family may wish to grow. It is a great way to experience first-hand what is involved in getting those wonderful and healthy vegetables to the dinner table. The farm sells starter plants and other gardening items at a 10 percent discount for the plot only.

Moulton Farm’s “Produce for the People Program” allows participants to plant one row of vegetables in their plot that will be harvested and donated to a local food pantry of choice.

The corn maze in late summer is a popular attraction at Moulton Farm, as are the many cooking classes and gardening workshops that take place at the farm stand during the summer and fall seasons, leading right up to the Christmas holidays. Call Moulton Farm at 603-279-3915 for information.

Walker Farm on Smith River Road in Bristol has been a family-owned and -operated farm for many years. The farm stand and events at Walker Farm are popular in the Newfound Region, offering fresh garden produce and maple syrup as well as cut flowers.

“We have hayrides to the pumpkin field on weekends in October,” said Sandy Walker. “We also participate in the Maple Sugar Weekend every spring with an open house.”

Walker Farm has a small petting zoo that offers children a chance to get an up-close look at charming farm animals. In season, the corn at the farm finds loyal customers returning again and again for fresh sweet corn and other vegetables.

Beans & Greens Farm on Intervale Road in Gilford offers a lot for visitors. From a well-stocked bakery and farm stand with fresh vegetables in season to outdoor music in the farm’s pavilion, something is always going on at the popular location. (Not to mention the tasty corn available in season.)

The Beans & Greens Farm Healthy Harvest Subscription is a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)

program. Participants select the items and quantities whenever they want them. Whenever subscribers shop at the farm, they may select from Beans and Greens meats and vegetables (in any amounts they wish) and use the money in their account to pay for them at the register.)

With an emphasis on agritourism, the many events at Beans & Greens offer opportunities for families to get involved in farm life. July is full of events at the farm stand, from Kid’s Day on the Farm (with free tractor-drawn hayrides, animal petting area, and activities for children) on June 29 to a pig roast and dance on July 4; a barbecue and burgers and live music event on July 6; July 12 Caribbean Night on the Farm, and the popular July 23 Farm to Table Dinner in the Field event. Other events take place throughout the summer and fall; visit

www.beansandgreensfarm.com.If the farm tour visits and farm stands

aren’t enough for those who want more farming fun, head to the NH Farm Museum in Milton where everything farm-related offers many hands-on experiences, as well as a good dash of New Hampshire farming history.

The museum has an extensive calendar of summer and fall farming events, including NH Dairy Day on June 21 with many hands-on activities; Children’s Days on the Farm on July 12 and 13; Farm Adventure Day Camps during the summer; Old Time Farm Days on Aug. 23 and 24; a Sept. 21 Great NH Pie Festival; and Farm Harvest Day on Oct. 4. Call the museum at 603-652-7840.

The Remick Country Doctor Museum and Farm in Tamworth offers many farm-related activities for families, from barnyard basics to hearthside dinners. Call 603-323-7591.

“The many yearly agricultural fairs in New Hampshire are a big component of agritourism,” Gail added. The popular fairs allow visitors to purchase farm produce, jams and jellies, baked goods, and crafts, as well as to watch tractor and oxen pulls, pet farm animals and talk with farmers.

These many years later, the sentiments of George Washington are still true. Times may have changed and the world has become a faster-paced place. All the more reason to make a trip to a farm, or a farm-to-table dinner, or a wagon ride, high on the priority list for a summer vacation to the Lakes Region.

Lake on a covered pontoon boat and learn about the animals that make Squam Lake their home. In June, go on a Bald Eagle Adventure Cruise and view an active nest; or take a Loon Cruise from June through August. Both cruises will have a biologist on board to talk about the birds and answer questions. Romantics might enjoy the Dinner and Sunset Cruise, a joint venture with Walter’s Basin Restaurant. There’s also the Lake Explorers Family Cruise, with a scavenger hunt and a naturalist on board who will show kids how to collect microscopic life.

Something Magical Coming to Lavinia’sBayswater Book Co. of Center Harbor

will sponsor a Wine and Words with author Katrina Kenison on Friday, June 6, at 2 p.m. at Lavinia’s Restaurant in Center Harbor. Kenison will be discussing her new book, Magical Journey. Tickets include the book price, along with wine and treats prepared by Lavinia’s.

In Magical Journey, Katrina reflects on the inevitable changes wrought by time: the death of a dear friend, children leaving home, recognition of her own physical vulnerability, and surprising shifts in her marriage. She finds solace in the notion that midlife is a time of unprecedented opportunity for growth as old roles and responsibilities fall away and unanticipated possibilities appear on the horizon.

A graduate of Smith College, Katrina spent many years working in publishing, first as a literary editor at Houghton Mifflin Company in New York and Boston and then, from 1990 through 2006, as the series editor of the best-selling The Best American Short Stories anthology. Magical Journey is her fifth published book and her columns have appeared in O: The Oprah Magazine, Woman’s Day, Real Simple, Country Living, Family Circle, Redbook, and other publications. A Reiki practitioner, gardener, and yoga teacher, Katrina lives with her family in rural New Hampshire.

Space is limited, so reserve tickets in advance. Call 603-253-8858 or visit www.bayswaterbooks.com.

Boat Museum To Hold Opening Reception on June 5

To celebrate its new season of activities, the NH Boat Museum in Wolfeboro will hold an opening reception on Thursday, June 5, from 6 to 9 p.m. The evening will include food, a cash bar, entertainment, and a preview of new exhibits.

The evening will include a light buffet dinner and ice cream sundaes provided by Cider Press Restaurant, Downtown Grille, Inn on Main, and Morrissey’s Front Porch.

Amanda Collins, a 19-year-old singer-songwriter living in Tuftonboro, will provide the entertainment. Last year, Amanda won the Gospel category at the NH Country Music Association Competition. From there, she went on to win the regional competition and then the North American International competition in Pigeon Forge TN.

Attendees not only will get a chance

to hear music and eat great food; they also will get a chance to preview the new exhibit for 2014 that celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Great Smith River Canoe and Kayak Race.

“We look forward to welcoming the public to our annual opening reception as we kick off a new season,” said Board Chair Joe DeChairo.

Reservations are appreciated by May 30. Tickets may be purchased on the museum’s website, www.NHBM.org, via phone at 603-569-4554, or at the door.

The NH Boat Museum opened over Memorial Day Weekend and will remain open through Oct. 13. Hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., and Sunday, noon – 4 p.m. The museum is located at 399 Center Street, Wolfeboro Falls, two miles from downtown Wolfeboro.
