JOIN GENERAL STARK’S SPRING RISING

The General John Stark Scenic Byway Council, with the assistance of the Southern New Hampshire and Central New Hampshire Regional Planning Commissions, announces a series
of events in the towns of New Boston, Goffstown, Dunbarton, and Weare on the weekend of
April 20 – 21, 2013.

Events are set to include:
•    historical society open houses in all four communities
•    actors in colonial attire
•    musket firing demonstration
•    a concert welcoming spring
•    community dinner
•    and much more!  

Weather permitting, these events will be set against a verdant backdrop of spring blooms, the highlight of which is over 65,000 daffodils among the four byway communities.  It is a time to celebrate not only the rich history of the byway, but also the inevitability, beauty, and fair weather of the coming spring.  This event is the start of what will hopefully become an annual regional happening for young and old alike.  Come out, enjoy the weather, and soak up the abundant historical character of the General John Stark Scenic Byway!

Teens Robbed of I-pod/Cell Phone

 

MANCHESTER, NH- On Monday, February 11, 2013, at about 6:30 PM, Manchester Police responded to a Clay Street address for a report of a robbery.  On arrival, they met with two 16 year old Manchester teens who reported they had been the victims of a robbery a short time earlier on Somerville Street, near Belmont Street.

 

According to the boys, they were walking in the area when they were approached by two men, one of whom demanded their belongings, indicating his companion had a gun, although no gun was observed.

 

One of the boys surrendered his I-pod Nano and Galaxy S3 cell phone and the men left.  They were last seen leaving the area as passengers in an older, dark colored 4-door sedan operated by a third individual who was possibly wearing a red sweatshirt.

 

The first suspect was described as a white male in his forties, about 6’3” tall with a slender build and dark “stubble” on his face.  He was last seen wearing a dark colored vest and a green “beanie” style hat.  The second man, alleged to have possessed a gun, was described as a clean-shaven white male in his forties with an average height and build.  He was last seen wearing a camouflage shirt and khaki pants.

 

Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Manchester Police Department at 668-8711.  Anonymous tips for cash rewards can be made through Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040 or online at manchestercrimeline.org.
