“Christmas In July”

 

The Locke Lake Social Club held their annual “Christmas in July” roasted chicken luncheon on the 15th of July in the lodge.  The luncheon was sponsored by the club for it’s members and guests.  After a most delicious meal and high caloric desserts, the members had a Yankee Swap of Christmas Gifts.

 

Next Month’s event will be an “Ole Fashion Picnic” on Saturday August 19th at noon at the main beach gazebo & lodge.  Members are asked to have their own picnic luncheon and corn on the cob will be provided, and appetizers or dessert to share.  After lunch, outdoor games will be played with cash prizes for the winners.

 

On September 9th the annual “Monkey Golf” will be on the schedule.  This year a change.  Pot Luck Breakfast will be at 9:30 am in the Lodge and then the members and guests will attack the golf greens.  Members are asked to bring breakfast treats.  For those entering the golf tournament, a registration fee of $5.00 will be expected.  This will be returned in the form of prizes for the 1st and 2nd place team winners.  The coveted monkey statues will be awarded to the captains of the winning team.  No experience is necessary so get in your swing practice.

Barnstead Parks And Recreation Summer Concert Series

 

On Saturday, July 29 please join Barnstead Parks and Recreation in welcoming Tore Down House to the concert stage.

 

This is the band’s fourth year appearing in the summer concert series.  Mainly a trio, and sometimes a quartet, this show will be a more intimate performance of the original two members, Mark Huzar, vocalist and guitarist, and John Michaud, drummer.

 

Mark and John have been performing all over New England for the last 11 years.  The two met in 1994 in a music store while posting an ad seeking musicians.  They soon started playing together and writing songs.  Both played in the Funk Band “Indelible Groove” in the late 90s.

 

In 2000, Mark and John recorded a CD under the band name “Amid the Ruins.”  Then, in 2006 Tore Down House was conceived and became a “back to roots” project focused on playing classic deep cuts from some of the greatest bands of our past, including The Allman Brothers Band, the Grateful Dead, CCR, and on and on.  Tore Down House also became the vehicle for many original songs such as “American Farmer” and “Crescent City”, as well as many others.

 

The show starts at 6:00 pm. The Barnstead Historical Society will be on hand offering concessions.  Remember to bring a lawn chair or blanket and a friend or three.  As always, smoking and alcohol are prohibited on the Parade Grounds.  Come enjoy this free event and show your support for local music!

 


 

Letter To The Editor
RESPECT

 

Respect has to be earned. We all want it for ourselves and our nation.  It seems we have lost the respect of the rest of the world.

 

Respect is defined as “being decent or correct in character or behavior.”  Are we displaying character by ignoring the healthcare needs of families, veterans, the elderly, and others?  Are we showing character or deserving respect by pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement? If we don’t respect our planet, why should we deserve respect as a nation?  It is obvious from recent events in Germany and elsewhere that the U.S. has lost the respect of the world. 

 

Our President, our government, and their actions speak for all of us.  The world is watching and listening.

 

Please, encourage our NH congressional delegation to show character and say, “We do care about the needs of our fellow citizens and our planet.”  Tell them that we, as citizens of the United States of America, will show character and that we still deserve the RESPECT we used to have.
