Summer Concert Series

Barnstead Summer Concert Series.jpg

After a week’s hiatus to enjoy the Pittsfield Balloon Rally, the Barnstead Summer Concert Series is back in full swing, presenting the Blues Tonight Band at 6:00 pm on Saturday, August 9.  This powerful, hard hitting blues band is fast becoming known for their original tunes.  Songs from the band’s most recent album, Zombie Blues, released in 2012, are available for preview on their website, www.bluestonightband.com.   Three of the band members, Craig Farrington, Steve Brooks and Dave Bottom formed the Laconia area band, L.A. East, and reunited to form the Blues Tonight Band with the addition of band mates Erik Anderson and Alan Doyle.  The band recently competed in the International Blues Challenge, held this past January in Memphis.  Come on out and join us for what is sure to be a high energy, toe-tapping, shoe shuffling performance.  See you at the show!  As always, smoking, alcohol and glass containers are prohibited on the Parade Grounds.

County Commissioner Candidates Thomas And Burchell To Speak At Next Meeting Of Barnstead-Alton-Gilmanton Republican Committee (BARC’G) On Tuesday, August 12

 

The Barnstead-Alton-Gilmanton Republican Committee (BARC’G) has announced that their next monthly meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 12 at 6:30 pm at J.J. Goodwin’s Restaurant (upstairs dining room), 769 Suncook Valley Highway (Rt 28), in Center Barnstead.  

 

With the September 9th Primary only one month from now, attention remains focused on those candidates hoping to have the opportunity to represent the towns of Alton, Barnstead, and Gilmanton. The winners of the Primary will go on to run against their Democrat opponents in the November General Election.

  

Of particular note is that incumbent Republican District 2 County Commissioner John Thomas of Belmont, and his Republican opponent, Dick Burchell of Gilmanton, will be attending and speaking at this month’s meeting.  District 2 encompasses the towns of Alton, Barnstead, Belmont, and Gilmanton.  In addition, other local candidates (in a primary or not) are encouraged to attend this meeting; it will be the last opportunity for local candidates to address the Committee’s members and guests prior to the Primary.

 

BARC’G meetings are open to Republicans and like-minded Independents from Alton, Barnstead, and Gilmanton, and any other towns in New Hampshire.  The August 12 meeting offers you, as a voter, to learn about the candidates, and to make informed decisions in the voting booth on Primary Day.  

 

Per the usual meeting format, if you’re interested in having dinner (at your option) or wish to socialize before the meeting, plan to arrive as early as 5:30pm.  

 

The Committee reminds you to bring a non-perishable food item (cans of soup, tuna fish, etc, etc) to the meeting for distribution to local food pantries.    

 

For more information, please send an email to [email protected] or [email protected]

 


 

US Senate Candidate Bob Smith And State Senate Candidate Kathy Lauer-Rago To Address 

Belknap County Republican Committee 

On Wednesday, August 13

 

The next monthly meeting of the Belknap County Republican Committee has been scheduled for Wednesday, August 13 at 6:30 pm at the Top of the Town Restaurant, 88 Ladd Hill Rd in Belmont.

 

The clock is ticking as the State of New Hampshire moves toward the Primary Election on September 9th.  With that in mind, it’s time for voters to begin finalizing their decisions regarding who they’re going to vote for on the 9th.  The Committee has had state-wide and local candidates address the Committee each month, and the August meeting will continue with that tradition.  This month’s August meeting will feature State Senate District 7 candidate Kathy Lauer-Rago, and Keynote Speaker US Senate candidate Bob Smith.  Lauer-Rago will be facing incumbent Democrat Senator Andrew Hosmer in November, while Smith is vying in the September 9th primary for the opportunity to face incumbent Democrat US Senator Jeanne Shaheen in November.

 

Belknap County GOP meetings are open to ALL Republicans and like-minded independents. Per their usual meeting format, if you’re interested in having dinner (at your option) and/or wish to socialize before the meeting, plan to arrive as early as 5:00 pm.

 

The Committee once again reminds everyone planning to attend to bring a non-perishable food item to the meeting for distribution to local food pantries.
