Small-town fun

The Canterbury Fair celebrates close communities for the 61st year

By Katelyn Sahagian

[email protected]

The Canterbury Fair is back after its pandemic pause and will once again highlight local artisans, feature a popular barbecue chicken dinner and offer shopping with its used book sale and the What Not sale, a type of white elephant and antique market.

Rick Crockford, a co-chair of the fair, said that this fair is meant to celebrate small towns and communities.

“It started out in the ’50s as a way to get people excited mid-summer about small-town life,” Crockford said. “It’s remained largely, crafty and agricultural. It’s much more low-key than [fairs at] other places.”

The reason the fair started was to help pay for a new parish house at Canterbury United Community Church after a fire had destroyed the original one in 1943. In 1959, a chicken barbecue was added to the fair’s normal activities and, according to the Canterbury Fair’s website, the fair raised close to $2,000.

In addition to the barbecue, there will be regular grilled foods, like hot dogs, burgers, sausage grinders and veggie burgers, Crockford said. He said his personal favorite part of the event is the frappe bar from Jordan’s Ice Creamery.

After the food comes the entertainment and local artisans. Children’s entertainers and musicians will perform throughout the day, and Crockford said that the Morris Dancers, a group that performs a traditional British style of dancing, is a longtime fair favorite.

“They have cymbals on their feet and sticks and they do old English dancing,” he said. “There’s a caller who runs the dance; it’s very cool. They’ve been at probably every fair for the past 15 years.”

For new entertainment, Crockford said that he was especially excited to welcome drummers from the Native American Abenaki tribe.

As for local artisans, Crockford said there will be everything from jewelry to leather goods. Even a local guitar maker will be showing off his instruments.

“We have an unwritten rule that the vendors we rent space to have to produce something themselves,” Crockford said, adding that they didn’t want people to be reselling items they had purchased.

Crockford said that the used book sale, which will be at the Old Town Hall, and the What Not sale, at the elementary school, are among the biggest draws for most visitors. The proceeds from both sales will be used to raise money for the Canterbury Fund, which gets donated back to the town’s schools.

While the vendors are exciting for adults, kids will get the chance to have their face painted and play different games. Kids of all ages can enjoy spending time with the animals at the petting zoo.

Crockford said that the fair isn’t a big fancy shindig, but it is still special and can attract people from as far away as Maine and Vermont.

“We don’t have any rides, and there’s no fried dough,” Crockford said. “[The fair’s] mostly people who want to appreciate local craftspeople and support them financially. See a little bit of the old-timey fair before everything got all rushed.”

61st annual Canterbury Fair

How to move a shrub

Early and carefully

By Henry Homeyer

[email protected]

I remember talking to a gardener some years ago who, when I mentioned that her tall pines were interrupting the view, waved a hand and said, dismissively, “Oh, yes, I’ll have someone move them.” I nearly choked. Moving shrubs is not difficult, but big trees? Though theoretically possible using a big machine called a tree spade, it’s a very expensive proposition.

I have moved several shrubs over the years. I bought a Carolina allspice or sweetshrub (Calycanthus floridus) which, according to the literature, can be planted in full sun or part shade. I planted it in full sun in rich, moist soil. The first year the leaves got sunburned and developed brown edges. Oh well, I thought, perhaps it had been grown in deep shade. If so, it will recover and next year it will be fine. But the next year it burned again.

So that fall I moved my shrub to a shady place that got just a little dappled sunshine. It did not burn, but it didn’t flower much the year or the year after. “Huh,” I thought. “Maybe it needs more sun.” I waited a few more years, and never got many blossoms.

Finally, like Goldilocks of Three Bears fame, I found just the right place. I moved it into dappled shade under a big pear tree. It has flowered magnificently ever since. Which shows, I suppose, that persistence is important in the gardening world. I was tempted to let it just muddle along, but was rewarded for my effort moving it.

It is much easier to move a shrub in the first year or two of its life in your garden. It takes a few years for roots to grow out and away from the root ball. Early in its life in your garden you will be able to see its original root ball when you dig it out.

When I plant a tree or shrub I generally facilitate root expansion in two ways. First, I dig a wide hole for the root ball, at least three times as wide as the root ball. If the soil is very compacted, I dig an even wider hole. All that digging is intended to leave the soil fluffier, and easier for tiny roots to penetrate.

Secondly, I loosen the roots, tugging them away from the root ball. I pull away any encircling roots. I use my CobraHead weeder to tug on bigger roots that are firmly tangled to get them loose and ready to spread out into the soil. And if I break some smaller roots? I don’t worry. It will stimulate the roots to grow.

The hole should only be as deep as the root ball, not deeper. Your tree should sit on un-excavated soil so that it will not settle in time. If soil or mulch covers the trunk flare, the trunk will rot. It is a slow process, but soil and bark mulch have fungi that will destroy the bark of a tree, slowly killing it — it takes six to 10 years.

What is the trunk flare? That is the area at the base of the tree that flares out and often sends out above-ground roots that gently descend into the soil. It is most obvious in large trees, but some swelling in small trees should be evident at the base of the tree. That area is often buried with soil when you buy a tree, and you need to expose it.

If the flare is buried after planting, you may notice tip die-back at the top of the tree, and early fall coloring. Both are signs of trouble. Check out trees you have planted, and pull back the mulch or soil that is covering the flare. Do it now, and your tree may recover (depending on how long the flare has been buried).

If you are planting trees this summer, remove the tree from its pot or burlap covering. Expose the trunk flare before you dig the hole so you will know how deep to dig. I put a rake handle or wood stake over the hole to help me measure how deep it is before placing the tree into the hole. It is better to have the hole a little shallow than a little too deep. You can always mound the soil to bring it up to the proper amount of coverage.

For moving shrubs, the best tool to use is a long narrow shovel called a drain spade. The blade on mine is about 6 inches wide and 15 inches long. I push the blade into the soil in four places around the shrub. Each time the blade goes into the soil at about a 45-degree angle, with the idea of getting under the center of the shrub itself. I push down on the handle, and it lifts the shrub a little. After loosening the shrub I push down hard on the shovel and the shrub is ready to lift out.

The best time to move a shrub is in the afternoon of a drizzly or cloudy day, not on a hot, sunny day. Move the shrub right into a prepared hole at its new home. I generally do not add fertilizer to the new hole as I don’t want to force rapid new growth. Slow-release organic fertilizer is safe to use, but not too much, and a little compost is good, too.

Be sure to press the shrub down firmly in the hole after you have filled in the space around the root ball with soil, and to pack the soil in around it firmly with your hands. Water well at planting time, and at least every other day during hot, sunny times.

Lastly, I recommend looking at where other people have planted shrubs of the same species as yours that are doing better. And if you need to move yours to a better location? Go for it!

A-moo-sing animals

Spend time with animals at some of the farms and zoos in New Hampshire

By Katelyn Sahagian

[email protected]

It’s hard to stay upset or stressed when an animal is nearby. That’s the feeling of J & F Farms manager Melissa Dolloff.

“A lot of times it’s just people who might have had a bad day and they stop by,” Dolloff said. “[They] get a breath of fresh air and pet some of the animals and it changes their mood.”

Across New Hampshire, different farms and animal centers are open for adults and children to interact with different animals. Farms and zoos across New Hampshire help people pet, feed and play with a variety of creatures.

Dolloff grew up on J & F Farms and is raising her kids to be the fifth generation of farmers in her family. She said that people need to become more educated about farm animals. She said it’s surprising how many adults don’t know a lot about farm animals.

“Lots of adults don’t even know the difference between a sheep and a goat or an alpaca and llama,” Dolloff said. “You’d be amazed how much people don’t know.”

At The Friendly Farm, farmhand Wyatt Davis said that interacting with animals is more than just fun; it’s a form of healing.

“The affection they show, it’s therapeutic almost,” Davis said. “I think, if you see a goat running around, you can’t help but smile at that.”

He also found that learning about animals has brought him to understand the food he eats. He said that having the connection with the animals helps him feel more grateful for the food on his plate.

“Being able to know where your food comes from and have that connection, in my eyes that’s the most important part,” Davis said.

Dolloff’s kids are older now and she is happy to see them bringing their friends around to spend time walking and taking care of the different animals.

“It’s important for people to get out and visit farms and animals,” Dolloff said. “People need to get the farm-fresh air and enjoy the love animals have to give.”
