Discourage Our Bears

We all know that bears are part of living in New Hampshire.  This is just a reminder to bring in your bird feeders at night, and to ensure any trash is secured to avoid bears thinking your yard will provide them with food.  Some of them are bold and by denying them food in developed areas, they should go further into the woods.  This will help avoid any dangerous encounters with children, pets, and farm animals.

*****************************************************************

New Hampton’s 125th Old Home Day
will be
Saturday, August 10th

Save the date !!  More information coming soon.
