Thursday, July 14, 2016 at 7 p.m.
at Weeks State Park.
Drawing heavily on the repertoire of traditional singer Lena
Bourne Fish (1873-1945) of Jaffrey and Temple, Jeff Warner
offers songs and stories that, in
the words of Carl Sandburg, tell
us “where we came from and
what brought us along.” These
ballads, love songs and comic
pieces reveal the experiences and
emotions of daily life in the days
before movies, sound recordings,
and, for some, books. Songs from
the lumber camps, the decks of
sailing ships, the textile mills
and the war between the sexes
offer views of pre-industrial New
England and a chance to hear of
living artifacts from the 18th and
19th centuries.
The program will be in the
Great Room of the Summit Lodge
of Weeks State Park and will
begin at 7 p.m. Weeks State Park
is located on the east side of
Route 3, approximately two
miles south of Lancaster, New
Hampshire. The Evening Program Series is sponsored by the
Weeks State Park Association,
NH Division of Parks, and UNH
Cooperative Extension.
Three year old June Lindquist has successfully completed the Weeks
Memorial Library’s 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program. June
and her parents, Robyn and Carl Lindquist, have been reading books
and counting them as they go. They filled out a reading log for each
100 books read and brought the logs back to the library. Anyone who
has a child who has not entered kindergarten and is interested in
joining the program, contact Ronnie Zajac at the Weeks Memorial
Library 788-3352. Courtesy photo.
