The Preserve in Chocorua’s spacious event tent with a splendid tiled floor, handy toilets and a capacity to seat many people is the venue for weddings, celebrations of life and The Tall Granite Big Band, a recent concert hosted by The Barnstormers. The band features seventeen players, and according to vocalist , Amelia, is the largest band of its kind North of Texas. The band has a following, not only of avid listeners, but dancing couples who revel in the lively big band music of the mid-20th century. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening of music and I would like to thank the Big Band for playing and extending their performance until late in the evening, and for The Barnstormers Board for arranging the event.

Another joyful event at The Preserve was last week’s 100th birthday party of the Tamworth Community Nurses Association. This was a fantastic celebration with a great turnout, wonderful sandwiches and speeches by head nurse Joanne Rainville and members of the Tamworth Community Nurses Association Board. Thanks so much to the Phelps family for making this venue available. Our community is so grateful for the continued care given to all by Tamworth Community Nurses Association and their efforts to keep us safe during the Pandemic.
