Moose Tours
Some of you may or may not know, but my 2nd job is that as a Moose Tour Guide for Pemi Valley Excursions. I go out 5 nights a week as we look for Moose. So far this season we have been averaging around 11-12 Moose a night.
Last night we had a very memorable night as we came across this very photogenic Bull Moose.
2 hours later we came back to the same location and came across a Cow Moose and a new baby.
Needless to say it was a very exciting night on the Moose Tour. Between these 2 sightings we probably spent 35 minutes watching these Moose. Overall we saw 10 Moose last night.
Moose Tours are now running 7 nights a week. Please see the sign up sheet in the Lobby.

The Olde New England Day celebration features artisans and crafters lining Main Street, along with many businesses holding sidewalk sales. But, that's not all!
Here's what's happening:
Town-Wide Arts and Crafts Festival (I'll be near Fadden's General Store selling my photography, come by and say Hi)
If you've never been, then you've missed out on this spectacular annual event. The Olde New England Day Arts and Crafts Festival showcases some of the finest art in New England. From oil and watercolor paintings to forged steel and wood carving demonstrations, there's something for everyone. Not only do you get to see and purchase fine arts and crafts, you get to meet the artists that painstakingly create their unique works.
The sidewalks, the parking areas, the sidestreets, and the "common" in Woodstock, NH bring you back to Olde New England this year on Saturday, June 27th from 10am until 6pm.
Entertainment for Kids of All Ages
Olde New England Days is all about family fun. This year we have much more to entertain our youngsters. Take a break from the shopping and dining, and let your kids run loose under the guidance of our Future Business Leaders of America. Many of the "kids shows" will be taking place at the town common. Here's a sampling of the activities taking place:
Clown Show
Magic Show
Pluck a Duck
Puppet Show
Kids Music and Dancing
Kids Games and Prizes
Baloon Animals
Face Painting

Blazin' Barbecue by the Woodstock FD
Every year the Women's Auxilary and Woodstock Fire Department put on an absolutely 'Blazin' Barbecue. Olde New England cooking that will stick to your ribs can be smelled for miles around.
