Kids teens and adults, come be a part of the activities!  Crafts are planned during the 6 week program for two different Wednesday mornings (10 am to noon) and there will be a Summer Reading Activity Booklet.  We will have three raffle baskets; children, young adult and adult as well as other surprises along the way.  Our ending program is Reptiles On The Move and is scheduled for August 17th.

Here’s a chance to keep your kids reading over the summer, and to share the summertime reading fun together!  For more details and information, please contact the library at 269-3900 or come to the desk.

2nd Annual Phil Grillo Youth Fishing Derby A Huge Success


The 2nd Annual Phil Grillo Youth Fishing Derby put on by the Barnstead Parks and Recreation Department on Saturday, May 7, 2011, attracted more than seventy young future fishing fanatics.  The weather was great and the fish were biting!  Well over 120 trout were caught with the majority being released back into  the water for future anglers’ enjoyment.  Austin Fifield was the big winner, catching the largest fish which netted him a new, beautiful bicycle.  The second place winner, Marshall Cook, won a four hour kayak trip package for two.  The third place winner, Nicole Treadwell, won a dinner for two at the Barley House Restaurant in Concord.  She will probably enjoy that dinner with her grandmother, who was her fishing coach.  The person who caught the most fish (15) was a girl who had never fished before, Jenica Locke.  She chose a four hour deep sea fishing trip for two as her prize.  I’m sure her grandfather, who acted as her fishing coach, will accompany her on that trip.  The smallest fish was caught by Maddy Chase and it’s a big secret as to just how small that fish was.  There were other prizes given out including one for the first fish caught, one to the youngest fisherperson, and onto the third runner up for the biggest trout.  This was a 12 inch long trout caught by Julianna Grillo.  All in all it was a great day and everyone followed the number one rule of the derby; “Everyone Must Have Fun.”


Many, many thanks to those whose generosity made this fishing derby such a success:  The Barnstead Country Store, Eastman Deep Sea Fishing in Seabrook, Barn Door Gap Adventures in Barnstead, Maxfield’s Hardware in Pittsfield, The Barley House Restaurant in Concord, Storey’s Sport Shop, in Tilton, and Hannaford’s Supermarket in Concord.  Additionally, the fishing derby would not have been possible without the hard work and time given by the volunteers:  the Grillo family, the Grow family, the Gontarz family, the LaRoche family, NH Fish & Game Dept., and the Town of Barnstead Parks and Recreation Department, and especially the Locke Lake Colony Association.  See you next year for the 3rd Annual Phil Grillo Youth Fishing Derby!
