Tamworth Town Column: Celebrate Veterans Day at The Four Corners

On Saturday, Nov. 9, from 9 to 11:30 a.m., join Chocorua Lake Conservancy Stewardship Director Lynne Flaccus for a hike along the trails of the Scott and Bolles Reserve. Fall is a wonderful time to explore fields and forests around the lake. Plants and animals are preparing for the snow and cold to come, or are already dormant. The group leaves from the Hammond Trail parking area at the end of Scott Road, and will take the Heron Pond trail to Heron Pond/Lonely Lake and on to the shore of Lake Chocorua. The trails are moderate, passing through mixed forests, eskers and wetlands. Comfortable hiking shoes, dressing in layers, bringing water and a snack are suggested. The hike is about 2.5 miles round trip from the parking area to the lake and back. Participants are asked not to bring dogs. Meet at the Hammond Trail parking lot at the end of the Scott Road, north of the lake. For more information, call (603) 323-6252 or email Flaccus at lflaccus@chocorualake.org.

Everyone is invited to celebrate Veterans Day on Nov. 11. The ceremony begins at 11 a.m. at the Veterans Memorial at The Four Corners in Tamworth village. Afterwards, there will be a reception at the Town House. Donations of sandwiches or baked goods may be dropped off at the Town House on Sunday from 3 to 4 p.m. or Monday 9 to 10 a.m.
