American Legion Auxiliary will be held at the American Legion Hall, 1078
Beauty Hill West, Barnstead Parade, on November 3, 2015 at 6:30 PM.
Our special

veterans. Aside from financial support, we are collecting new and
gently used warm jackets, gloves, boots, hats, etc., to aid during the
winter months.

anyone interested in becoming a member to attend.
IT’S
FAIR TIME!
Bid on this vintage bean pot collection at the
Silent Auction during the Pumpkin & Pine Fair on November 7 at the
Congregational Church of North Barnstead, 504 North Barnstead Road.
Be sure to
put the Pumpkin & Pine Country Fair at the top of your “to do” list on
Saturday, November 7 between 9 AM and 2 PM. Set your GPS for the
Congregational Church of North Barnstead at 504 North Barnstead Road in
Center Barnstead. Drop by next door at our Schoolhouse Café for a snack
or lunch when you take a break from your shopping spree.
There will
be a smorgasbord of irresistible gifts to choose from: fun, hand-crafted
articles perfect for favors or little presents for teachers or friends;
homemade goodies from the kitchen table; unique articles from Ghana; a
wide variety of collectibles; jewelry; seasonal items; and more.
The main
feature is the Silent Auction with an array of unusual gift ideas

beautiful brocade tote; a Waterford crystal vase; and an assortment of
doll furniture and dolls for your little princess. High bidders will be
announced promptly at 2 PM. You do not need to be present at the close,
but should be available by phone to arrange pickup.
Remember to
buy a few raffle tickets for the handmade queen-sized quilt made by the
CCNB Women’s Fellowship (winner will be drawn in March in time for
Easter). When not gracing the wall at the fair, the quilt can be seen
at the Chichester Country Store in Chichester, on the corner of Route 28
and Main Street.
