Greetings!
 Hello again! If you are hankering for some foliage, come on up north. From the sounds of Betty's weekly foliage reports, the Great North Woods has some great color and the White Mountains has just begun to turn. Here in the Thornton / Plymouth area, we are seeing some yellows and reds emerging amongst the multi shades of green.
The Division of Travel and Tourism has lots of resources to help you direct guests. Visit their fall harvest pages to read the weekly foliage reports; play with the interactive foliage tracker; find pick your own farms; fair dates; view events and activities and more...
"The Girls" have been posting stuff like crazy from The Big E. On the NHGSA's Big E site at www.nhgsa.com/bige you have to see the latest and greatest photos and even a virtual video tour of the booth. AND if you techies are on Google+, they are always available to "Hangout." Even if you don't understand a word of that last sentence, visit www.nhgsa.com/bige and watch the Virtual Tour of the NH Tourism Booth on the left and join the fun!
Speaking of fairs -- we did get a note from Diane Fortin who does our official GSA shirts and merchandise that she will be at the Deerfield Fair, Sept 29 - Oct 2. If you stop by her booth, she will have GSA items with her. If you call her ahead of time, you can even pick up your in-stock order there and save some postage.
See you at the fair(s)!

GSA Recommendation When Visiting NH
Discover More With Seacoast Segway Tours Submitted by Richard Russell, Granite State Ambassador Discover MORE of Portsmouth -- the most fun you will have touring the City. Experience historic Portsmouth, NH in an exciting new way. Take a guided tour on your own personal Segway PT through some of the most beautiful and history-rich places in Portsmouth. Tours start at the Portsmouth Historical Society's John Paul House. There are two guided tours that you can take. Historic Homes and City Tour or the Historic City and Waterfront Tour. With Segway's amazingly intuitive riding, the better vantage point from up on a Segway, and the distance you can cover with a Segway, you will never do another tour of Portsmouth like this. Sightseeing on this guided Segway PT tour is a unique and fun way to get to know and appreciate a truly historic seacoast city.
Franklin Pierce: New Hampshire's Only United States President Betty's Travel Planning Tips
Submitted by: Betty Gagne, Granite State Ambassador, First in the Nation Class 1999; Customer Service Assistant NH Division of Travel & Tourism Development

Franklin Pierce was the only United States President who hailed from New Hampshire and served as the country's 14th president. There are several points of interest in NH that relate to Franklin Pierce, including his childhood homestead in Hillsborough, the Pierce Manse in Concord, and his burial site in the Old North Cemetery, also in Concord.
The Franklin Pierce Homestead in Hillsborough is where Pierce spent most of his childhood; it was constructed by his father the year Franklin was born.
