You may have seen Nick Lavallee’s name in a recent New York Times story about Manchester’s chicken tender fame. Michael Witthaus talks to this Manchester booster about music, chicken tenders, his love of the Queen City and his pursuit of joy. Above and on the cover, Nick Lavallee poses with one of his Wicked Joyful shirts in Cat Alley in Manchester. Michael Cirelli Photography.

Also on the cover It’s a week of grown-up Halloween fun — find your party (parties?) in the listing on page 30. Or take the family to the Witch of Weston Tower attraction in Manchester (page 16). And Concord’s Street eatery explains its approach to french fries (page 24).

Also on the cover This weekend is Goffstown’s annual Halloween celebration — the Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off and Regatta. See the story on page 21. Concord hosts its first ever Sound and Color Music and Arts Festival this weekend (see page 18 for a rundown of all the planned events). And check out the balanace of tradition and fusion at What the Pho!, a new restaurant and tiki bar in Manchester (page 26).

Time to hit the road! In this week’s cover story we look at self-guided art and crafts tours, an upcoming vineyard tour and different ways to see some historical sites. We’re talking extremely local road trips, just in time for your (hopefully) long weekend — but short enough that you can enjoy them in an afternoon.

Also on the cover, It’s the annual Milford Pumpkin Festival (see page 6) and the annual Warner Fall Foliage Festival (see page 17). And next weekend enjoy a relatively recent annual celebration — the Mount Uncanoonuc Brewfest (page 22).
