The after school issue — 23/08/17

Back! To! School! While parents may be more excited about this season than their kids, kids likely will get excited about suiting up for ballet or soccer or karate. Or trying out art or climbing lessons. Or hanging with their buddies at an afterschool program. If you’re looking for a place for your kids to find new interests or build on their existing skills, check out this week’s extracurriculars spectacular!

Also on the cover Meanwhile, the summer festivals continue. This weekend, Manchester is home to two of its tasty annual events: Mahrajan, a festival of Middle Eastern food, and We Are One, celebrating African, Caribbean and Latin American cultures. Find both stories starting on page 30. And in Nashua it’s the annual Greeley Park Art Show; see page 22.

Michael Witthaus catches up with comedians and show organizers to help you find out where to go to have a laugh. Photo above and on the cover is of comedian Kerri Louise; photo by Karl Baierlein.

Also on the cover Fests all over! Leave your Saturday meal plans to the Great New England BBQ & Food Truck Fest in Milford (see page 24).

NH Mushrooms — 07/08/03

Mushrooms are having a moment — specifically foraging for fungi. With an expert. Who will keep you from picking the wrong (i.e. toxic, possibly fatally so) mushroom. Which is why we are NOT recommending you take this week’s issue into the woods to pick dinner. But we are offering this look at foraging for mushrooms, cooking with mushrooms (with recipes and a list of where to buy mushrooms if you’d rather not be the one doing the picking) and even making art with mushrooms. Cover photo is of chanterelles by Christine Gagnon.

Also on the cover Fun is on the schedule at Vernon Family Farms (page 24). Find music on restaurant and brewery decks, patios, indoor stages and more in the Music This Week (page 32). And Michael Witthaus looks at the Barefoot Music & Arts Festival.

Shop Fresh — 07/27/23

In this week’s cover story, we check in with area farmers markets. In the greater Concord/Manchester/Nashua area, you can find a market most days of the week to get your fresh tomatoes or your tasty baked goods.

Also on the cover Speaking of tasty items at the farmers markets, Donut O’clock (page 25) is selling out of its treats when it goes to the Nashua market. Michael Witthaus looks at an effort to get indie bands on area stages (page 31). And Tuesday, Aug. 1, is National Night Out and several area towns and cities are holding family-fun events where the police and the community can meet and greet (and in some cases, there’s a dunk tank).
