Since the great economic collapse of 2007-2008, there have been occasional periods of optimism that perhaps the bottom had been reached. But year after year, those hopes were dashed as economic activity either retreated or remained flat. However, towards the end of [...]

With a little more than a week left until Christmas, I'm sure that everyone does not have all of their gifts picked-out. Avoid the hassles of traffic and rude people by looking local. There is a wealth of local merchants, artisans and shops that would love to help you select the perfect [...]

It won't be long now that 2014 comes to an end and that means the 2015 Kezar Realty calendar is here. We have a regular mailing list but send me an e-mail to make sure you get yours in the mail. Every kitchen needs to have one!

You always know it is coming but still it always seems to sneak up on you. Foliage this year looks like it is going to be spectacular. Here are links to Maine's Foliage Report and one for New Hampshire's White Mountains. And I hope to post some pictures as the colors continue to turn.

This Saturday, August 16th, are two anticipated events that are always well attended and raise significant funds for their respective organizations.

First up in the morning is the 39th Annual Arts & Artisans Fair that benefits the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library. Starting at 9 am and continuing until 3 pm, this juried show has over 50 artisans spread inside and out the New Suncook School on Route 5. There will also be demonstrations, an always popular book sale, raffles and homemade refreshments. Come on out to see the talents of many local artists and craftsmen.

After a day at the Arts Fair or just tired from a great afternoon swimming and boating on the lake, have dinner at the Center Lovell Firehouse from 4-7 pm.  The food is always good and plentiful and proceeds benefit the Lovell Volunteer Fire Department. For just $9 you will have 1/2 chicken, freshly picked corn on the cob, delicious side dishes and ice cream treats. Be sure to come early as last year the kitchen ran out of chicken!

Cheers to all 2014 Tour de Lovell riders! It was a great day to be riding on the road.
