It’s been a near sleepless summer for Laurie Adelmann as she gears up for the first ever Front Street Market event in Rollinsford. Adelmann has been soliciting area growers, artists and performers to provide food and entertainment at the Salmon Falls Mills every weekend through the summer. Front Street Market will first present its Sunday at Salmon Falls series on July 20.
“We’ve had so many people interested in this. It’s marvelous,” Adelmann said. “It’s a morning out for the whole family.”

Beginning at 9 a.m., local food producers will open shop in the parking lot in front of the upper mill building. Breakfast and lunch optoins will be grilled under a circius tent running parallel to the street. A temporary stage will be erected in the same lot, offering music, dancing and other live entertainment until about 3 p.m.
Many artists with studios at the mills will sell artwork, fine crafts and photography, and a raffle will raise money for local charities.

soft drink zealots kick off summer lecture series in Wolfeboro

It’s not hard to find the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro. It’s the only building on Central Avenue that has a World War II tank crashing through its brick façade.

But visitors last Tuesday had the advantage of an extra landmark to help them find the World War II museum. Parked outside the building on June 24 was a 1928 LaSalle Chassis with a white horse mounted on it and a Moxie insignia emblazoned on its side. 

“We’re old enough, we remember when those things were driving around,” said one man as he admired the automobile, recalling the days when “Moxiemobiles” rolled along New England streets to advertise the quirky soda.

You might think you’ve seen it all, but then there’s The Quest: something in a bag with the slogan “Guessing the flavor is just the beginning...”

Yes, it’s a snack with no substance at all, or at least none you’re supposed to be aware of. You’re supposed to buy it without any idea what you’re buying—heck, how do you even know it’s chips and not, say, dried pig ears?

Whispers filled the room at the 100 Club in Portsmouth when it was announced that general admission tickets for this year’s Taste of the Nation event had already sold out by June 4.

The chefs at the meeting, many wearing white jackets and checkered pants, represented some of the nearly 80 local restaurants, brewers, wine distributors and other purveyors of fine food and drink that will gather at Strawbery Banke Museum for the annual event on Wednesday, June 18.
