New Hampshire's White Mountain Boogie N' Blues Festival: A Great Place to Get Your MoJo Workin' - 08/24/10 02:08 PM

What happens when Blues Lovers hit the White Mountains of New Hampshire for a weekend of Camping, Comaraderie and the chance to hear some of the best Blues Artists around? Magic! Plain and simple.
For the past fourteen years, Brad and Mike Benton have been hosting an event called The White Mountain Boogie N' Blues Festival on their family spread, The Sugar Shack Campground, in Thornton, New Hampshire. As Mike Benton stated in this year's welcome message for the Event Program, (paraphrasing one of the attendees): "The White Mountain Boogie N' Blues Festival is like a Woodstock for Senior Citizens."

What Does Your License Plate Say About You? - 08/12/10 01:23 PM
New Hampshire is known for having the most vehicles with vanity license plates than any other state in the Country, or so I've been told. Having paid special attention to them in the last few days, I have to ask the question, 'What are some of you trying to say on those plates?'

Well, I believe I've discovered another rock profile I'd like to call the 'Old Man in the Boulders' in Franklin, New Hampshire.

The Vineyards and Wineries of New Hampshire - 08/09/10 06:27 PM
Ten years ago, there were only a handfull of licensed Vineyards in New Hampshire. Today, in 2010, there are twenty-four licensed Vineyards and Wineries in the State, and many more home vintners, or winemakers, that have been bitten by the grape, so to speak.

This past weekend, my husband and I decided to check out two local Wineries in the Lakes Region, as we are beginning winemakers ourselves.
