Barnstead-Alton Republican Committee To Hold Meeting
The
Barnstead-Alton Republican Committee (BARC) will hold their next monthly
meeting on Thursday, September 10 at J.J. Goodwin’s Restaurant
(upstairs), 769 Suncook Valley Rd (Rt 28), Center Barnstead - (603)
269-8300. Dinner (at your option) is at 5:30 p.m.; the meeting
will begin at 6:30 pm.
In their continuing efforts to showcase the
GOP candidates for the November 2010 elections, BARC is pleased to
announce that Frank Guinta, Mayor of Manchester and a candidate for
Congress from the 1st District, will be the guest speaker at the
September meeting. Mayor Guinta was elected in November 2005 to his
first term as Mayor, running on a platform of improving education,
increasing public safety and security, revitalizing Manchester’s
neighborhoods, promoting fiscal responsibility, and reducing property
tax rates. He won re-election to his current term in November
2007. Prior to serving as Mayor, Frank served as an Alderman in
Manchester, and as a State Representative. Frank will talk
about his record, and his action plans for Washington if elected. For
more information about Mayor Guinta, please see his website:
www.teamguinta.com.
In
addition to hearing from the Mayor, the agenda also includes:
• A
legislative update from our State Representatives in attendance
• A
“special election” update (to fill vacancies in the State Legislature)
• Discussion and organization of grass roots efforts towards a
successful 2010 election season.
BARC, formed in the Fall of 2008,
has helped to promote Republican principles and values by engaging the
local community. Meetings tend to be somewhat informal, offering
an opportunity for the townspeople of Alton, Barnstead, and surrounding
towns to discuss issues and concerns about such matters as the economy,
healthcare, pending legislation, etc., and to hear from candidates and
your elected officials.
For more information, please send an
email to
[email protected] or visit the BARC website, www.BARC-NewHampshire.com.

Barnstead
Old Home Day Reschedule of Rained-Out Activities
Mother
Nature tried to dampen the spirits of the participants in the Old Home
Day Horseshoe Tournament. It was relocated to an indoor facility and 16
people, 8 teams, played for the Bragging Rights of Champion. Roland LaBrecque and Greg Stockman defeated Chip Elliott and Dale Bowen. Yes,
Chip and Dale, for the title.
Day-long and steady rains on Saturday, August 29, 2009, forced the
cancellation of many of the planned activities for Barnstead Old Home
Day, 2009. But, not to be discouraged by a little wet weather, the
Barnstead Old Home Day Committee has rescheduled some of the cancelled
activities, as follows:
The Canoe and Kayak Race is
rescheduled for Saturday, September 19, 2009. Registration fee is
$5.00 per boat and registrations will be taken at the launch site on the
Big River (behind the Barnstead Police Station) from 12:00 noon-1:45
p.m. on the day of the race. The race will begin at 2:00 p.m.
Each
registrant will receive a free T-shirt. Racing categories include tandem
canoe, solo canoe, tandem kayak and solo kayak. Awards will be
given to the first, second and third place finishers as solo male and
female, tandem male pairs and female pairs, coed pairs and senior pairs
in each category.
The Old Home Day Auction is rescheduled for
Saturday, September 19, 2009 at Barnstead Town Hall. Bidder
registration and auction preview will begin at 3:00 p.m. The Auction
will begin promptly at 4:00 p.m. This will be a live auction, with Russ
Abbott from Atlantic Auction Company as our auctioneer.
The
Barnstead Old Home Day live auction is not only fun and exciting, but is
also the primary fund-raising event that supports the expense of future
Old Home Days. This is a great opportunity to support this important
community event, and a chance to bid on very desirable items and
services donated by local businesses, individuals and families.
Also scheduled for Saturday, September 19, 2009 at Barnstead Town
Hall are a “Best Crock Pot Dish in Barnstead Contest” and an Apple
Baking Contest. Awards of $50.00 will be given to the winner of
each contest.
Crock Pot entries will be accepted at Town Hall
on the September 19, beginning at 3:00 p.m. and continuing until 6:00
p.m. Starting at 6:30 p.m., immediately following the Old Home Day
Auction, judging will be conducted by popular vote of public tasters.
For a fee of $3.00 per person, tasters can taste all Crock Pot entries,
with a roll and beverage, and vote for the best Crock Pot Dish in
Barnstead. Bring your favorite Crock Pot dish to the Auction, and
compete for a $50.00 cash prize! To pre-register for the Crock Pot
Contest, call Eileen Murley at 435-6692 by September 17, 2009.
We
request a copy of the recipe for your Crock Pot dish and permission to
publish the recipe in a 2010 cookbook, “Recipes of Barnstead Old Home
Day”. Entrants will be responsible for arranging for pick-up of their
Crock Pot by 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 19, 2009.
And, don’t
miss out on the Apple Baking Contest. Fall is the time to make all
those wonderful baked apple comfort foods! Any home-baked good
containing apples is eligible. Dig out the old family recipe; try
something new; craft your own apple creation! Show off your culinary
talents and have some fun. And best of all, the prize of $50.00 may very
well be yours!
Apple Baking Contest entries will be accepted at Town
Hall beginning at 3:00 p.m. and continuing until 6:00 p.m. Winning entry
will be selected by a panel of judges at 6:30 p.m. Following the
selection of the winning entry, all entries will be served as dessert to
Crock Pot Contest tasters. We, also, request a copy of the recipe for
your apple dish and permission to publish the recipe in a 2010 cookbook,
“Recipes of Barnstead Old Home Day.”
It will be a fun and interesting
afternoon and evening at Barnstead Town Hall on Saturday, September 19,
2009. Let’s get together and enjoy the Auction and the Crock Pot and
Apple Baking Contests!
