OSSIPEE — The purchase of Camp Sokokis is the town's best hope for acquiring a residents-only beach on Ossipee Lake, selectmen’s chair Richard Morgan told a crowd of about 100 residents and out-of-towners gathered Monday at town hall for a public hearing on the proposed land purchase.
Ossipee selectmen want to purchase land and buildings located at 130 Gretchen Road for the purpose of a town beach and recreation area.
