WE'VE ALL FELT THE IMPACTS of the pandemic on just about every aspect of our lives, some of us losing loved ones.
The cancellation of sporting events and concerts, such as Arts Jubilee. The cancellation (for the first time in its history) of the Boston Marathon. And on the local front, the canceling of what would have been the 39th annual White Mountain Oil and Propane Bratwurst Broil and Open House set for June 12.
