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!

It is time to get your bikes ready! This Saturday is the 9th Annual Tour de Lovell. The race starts at 8 am at the New Suncook Elementary School on Route 5.

Two changes for 2014: The course has been extended from 20 miles to 21.3 and there will be rolling start. As always, there will be raffle prizes, t-shirts, food/refreshments, awards and fun.

The Tour de Lovell benefits the Lovell Recreation Department and the Lovell Volunteer Fire Department.

Remember, if you are not riding, please be careful of the bike riders!

As we almost rip the month of June off the calendar, plans are in full swing for the Lovell 5k run and the Old Home Days parade that follows the last runner. It is somewhat hard to believe that this will be the tenth year of the race!

There was quite a void created when Don and Linda Bradley retired and closed Treehouse Farm Greenhouses in Sweden. For many years, Ledge Hill Road saw a marked increase in traffic as people would make their way to Treehouse for all of their gardening needs. As you could expect, everyone wondered where to go?

To the rescue comes Fly Away Farm! The [...]

Boston, however, had very strict qualifying guidelines. Depending on one's age, you had to run a certified marathon course in the previous year in [...]

There is a long tradition in Maine that private land be open for numerous public uses, such as hiking, hunting and snowmobiling, without prior permission. With all of the open space around us, it is hard to believe that about 94% of the land in Maine is privately owned.

In 1972, Maine passed the Tree Growth Tax Law that is designed to help landowners not only retain their land but to also make it productive woodlands. A minimum of [...]
