Greetings!
HAPPY SPRINGTER!
 The snow is melting, it's 70 degrees... what else could it be??! We still have leaves on the trees to boot. Mother Nature must have fallen down and conked her head -- I'm sure feeling very confused right now. I know I am! I am glad to have had the reprieve. I was just not prepared -- my yard was still full of leaves -- summer fun stuff still outside.
My husband on the other hand is chomping at the bit -- Cannon Mountain (image) has been calling to him in his sleep. At least the snowboard is still in the basement and hasn't made it to the kitchen yet!
I recently received a great Kudos email from Doreen at the Airport. She said a gentleman put a note in the Bright Ideas box commending 2 GSAs on October 3rd. We would like to identify these "helpful ladies" so please let us know if it was you. We had a few sets of ladies on duty that day....
"Your NH Information booth personnel - both fine women, were very helpful to me. We were stranded with no vehicle to rent - all sold out and they offered many options from cab to bus to Amtrak - and finally to - web WiFi & we found a rental car from Enterprise. Their helpfulness and Cheery friendly attitude has made my trip and day. Thank you, Gary"
One more example of just how much GSAs make a difference to New Hampshire's guests. Thank you!!

GSA Recommendations Blog
 By Judi Window, GSA Inaugural Class 1996
Swan Chocolates, a family name (Swan, not chocolates), is a wonderful stop if you are looking for a special New Hampshire made gift before heading home via the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. It is conveniently located on Route 3 in Merrimack near the new, soon-to-be opened, airport access road. The retail shop is a cozy building with beautiful lighting and comfy seating for coffee and chocolate tasting.
Abbotts Market was located on this spot for many, many years. As Granite State Ambassadors we are used to getting the history and details about buildings and business locations, this tour did not disappoint! I am sure if you asked (especially if you called ahead) they would be glad to tell you about the rich history of the building, the Abbotts and even the ghost sightings (and phone calls) in the building.
