Mar 7 - 2 pm - The Lake Region of New Hampshire

Wright Museum - Wolfeboro 
Presented by Author and Writer Ray Carbone

What makes the Lakes Region? Is it the wonderful warm days spent on the water? Listening to the haunting song of a loon across Squam Lake? An autumn hike along a trail bright with foliage? Snowshoeing across a sparkling winter landscape? It’s all that and more. The author of a recently-published book of spectacular full color photographs will be your tour guide through this illustrated look at the scenic splendor of N.H.’s lakes.

Wright Museum - Wolfeboro 
Presented by Ken Gorrell, Editor

Sentenced to death as a Fascist spy by Republican forces in war-torn Spain and decorated for saving an airman’s life in a bullet-ridden B-24 Liberator over Greece, war correspondent Henry “Hank” Gorrell often found himself in the thick of the fighting he’d been sent to cover. And, in reporting on some of the world’s most dangerous stories, he held newspaper readers spellbound with his eyewitness accounts from battlefields across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

There will be several vendor booths, guest speakers, raffle prizes and more. Anyone who wishes to donate tackle for the Kyle Robinson fishing derby held by Joe Glowick please feel free to do so. Joe has asked for tackle only and not cash donations. We know many of you have asked about donating money for the upkeep of the site and we greatly appreciate it. We will have a donation bucket at the door for this as well and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Invented just as the U.S. was beginning to prepare for WWII, the jeep was one of the most plentiful and versatile vehicles in the American military. Join us for this fascinating exploration of the quarter-ton truck that began as a staple of the WWII motor pool, and which is now among the vehicles with the highest brand loyalty among today’s drivers.
