Nashua River Valley Folk Festival
featuring Richie Havens and Lori McKenna, Aug. 10
TDespite a rainy summer, Sunday was sunny
for the Folk Festival, with a short sprinkle, until just before the
final act. After the torrential rain subsided, Richie Havens performed,
but the rain returned before the end of the set, leaving rain-soaked
fans dancing in front of the stage.

Land
added to preservation
The Friends of the Oxbow Wildlife Refuge celebrated (see photos) at the
annual meeting Oct. 15. The reason? The purchase of 50 acres of land
from the Kristoff family, sold to the state for preservation. The
Lancaster Land Trust and the Friends of the Oxbow worked with the
family to keep the land in preservation.
