The New England Country Boys

 

Barnstead’s Summer Concerts brings the sound of good ole country music to the parade grounds on Saturday, July 14th, with the New England Country Boys.

 

These boys have been playing together for 4 years and simply enjoy ‘jamin’, ‘singin’ and just ‘havin’ a good ole time! Along with their devoted fans, they travel in the Lakes Region performing many benefits and fundraisers. So come on out, meet the boys and let’s do some toe ‘tappin’, hand ‘clappin’ and boot ‘scootin’ to old and new country music.

 

Bring a blanket or chair and prepare to dance, sing along or just chill to the talents of these talented entertainers! Various local non-profits will be offering refreshments as fundraisers. Thanks for your support.

 

The New England Country Boys perform from 6-8 pm, on the parade grounds in Barnstead. See you there!

 


 

Letter To The Editor

 

To the person or persons who vandalized the American flags displayed along the lawn at our residence on Parade Road in Barnstead on the morning of July 5, 2012: Shame on you!

 

Sure, your act caused us anger and frustration. Yes, what you did cast a shadow over an otherwise delightful holiday that we shared with friends. And, you cost us some money.

 

But the true shame of your action is the disrespect it shows to the men and women now serving in the military and who formerly served in the military on behalf of this country so you can enjoy your irresponsible lifestyle.

 

We hope one future Fourth of July holiday you will think back to your actions today and we hope you will have smartened up enough to regret what you did this morning.

 

Dave and Eileen Murley

Barnstead

 


 

Letter

 

Barnstead is such a beautiful, rural town, or is it? Yes, we have a lot of history, old rustic barns, working farms and so many other things too numerous to name, except for one thing, Litter!

 

Several years ago, as one of your Selectmen, I wrote a couple of stories about the litter and some ideas on what to do. So here I go again.

 

What seemed to work back then was to kind of make it a family or even a neighborhood project. It’s amazing how short a time it takes and the results it produces, not counting a feeling of pride in doing a little for our beautiful town. A trip to the dump is a short drive. Bring the kids and explain something like recycling. Kids, and adults never are to young or old to learn.

 

So let’s go Barnstead; you did it back then. From roads like North Barnstead to my little street lets all pitch in and really make our town as really Beautiful as we know it can be!

 

Another point I would like to talk about is Patriotism! It’s so wonderful to see a lot of our flags, from small to large, flying around town, but we can do better in showing our thanks and gratitude for living in a free country by flying the greatest symbol of our freedom; by flying an American Flag! Post 42 of the American Legion has beautiful flags, made in America for sale for the near cost for just $25. I can be contacted at 776-8253 and I will deliver if need be.

 

So let’s go folks, clean up our roads and anywhere else there is litter and get a flag to show you are proud to be an American.

 

One final foot note, please keep an eye out for the young ones while picking up the litter. I know we can do this.

 

Thanks,

Jack O’Neil
