June is an exciting Month


I was driving home tonight and realized that there is a lot of things happening during the month of June.


We start off the month with the Lupine Festival up in Sugar Hill. This is one my favorite events. The Lupines have started to bloom a little bit. They festivals starts June 5, 2009 and will continue until June 21, 2009.


The following weekend June 12-14, 2009 is Railfest. You will have the opportunity to enjoy special photo shoots, ride the Hobo Railroad all the way to the historic Ashland Station, ride the White Mountain Central Railroad steam engine, visit Clark's Trading Post and see countless restored steam engines and many other pieces of rail history.


The following week will be Motorcycle Week here in NH. There are many numerous events that occur across the state during this time. I will be posting more in the next few days.


The last weekend of the month welcomes the New England Brewfest to Lincoln. Tickets for this event are going fast. Contact us for information on Ticket packages forthis popular event.


As you can see we have tons of stuff happening. I will be doing blog entries for all of these in the coming days. Check back often
