Day on the Water

Grab a paddle and jump on a paddleboard, or into a kayak or canoe. Or just sit back and relax on a scenic cruise on a lake or in the ocean.

Also on the cover, the 88th annual League of New Hampshire Craftsmen’s Fair is back this year, and the artisans can’t wait to see you, p. 14. First Barbecue Benefit Bash features local eats, music and more, p. 22. And comedian Ace Aceto brings good clean fun to Chunky’s, p. 36.
