The annual five-week series of Tamworth bird walks has begun and three Wednesdays in May remain. Meet at 7 a.m. in the Tamworth Town House parking, rain or shine (but not in a deluge) and join short drives and walks to various habitats, led by Ned Beecher. All experience levels welcome. Bring binoculars (a few are available). COVID protocols will be implemented as needed. For more inforation email ned.beecher@gmail.com or call (603) 387-7869.
Exciting changes are coming to The Other Store in 2022. A strategy group, led by Belle Stafford has been working on plans to determine the store’s future when long-term proprietor Kate Thompson retires. This summer, The Other Store will be open as usual, offering groceries, gifts, hardware, delicious food and ice cream and pre-theater dinners at the cafe.
