WOLFEBORO — Pickering Corner in downtown Wolfeboro has become a hotbed for demonstrations for the past months, and the police chief is urging all sides to remain civil and stay out of traffic.
Pickering Corner is at the intersection of Routes 28 and 109. An anti-Trump “No Kings” protest is scheduled there on Oct. 17.
