Calendar of Events

Greetings!

Reminder: The office of the Town Clerk/ Tax Collector will be closed this evening and tomorrow morning.

We're getting close to that spooky time of year. Who knows what lurks upon the floorboards of the great Nelson Town Hall? Make sure you read about the Halloween party in this week's issue!

If you smell something delicious on the breeze, it's probably chicken pot pie, or gingerbread, or ... whatever it is, you'll find it at the Great Harvest Supper next weekend.

Knitters & Crocheters Club

Our Knitting and Crocheting Club meets at the Chapel By the Lake in Munsonville, NH every other Thursday morning from 10AM to 12PM.

Current members are working on a variety of projects- prayer shawls; hats, mittens, and scarves for homeless and needy children, helmet liners for our troops overseas, a sampler afghan and other personal projects.

If you love to knit or crochet or would like to learn, this is the place for you. Our members have a combined experience of hundreds of years of knitting and crocheting.

Just drop on in! No invitation is necessary. At every meeting tips and patterns are freely shared and the coffee pot is always on.

	The Nelson School Board
The Nelson School Board will meet tomorrow at 3:00 p.m., rather than the usual 4:00 p.m. meeting time, so that they can listen to the 'new' 7th graders who now are attending the beautiful Keene Middle School. The public is always invited to attend the School Board meetings which are held in the Multi-Purpose Room of the Nelson School.

First Walking Trail to Open In Nelson

The Trails Committee of Moving in Step and the Conservation Commission invite the people of Nelson to an event to celebrate the opening of our first walking trail.

Mrs. Baker's talk is at the Town Hall at 7PM, Friday October 21st. The walk will take place Saturday the 22nd at 1:45PM.

The Trails Committee has been working to layout and mark trails for the people in Nelson to able to walk and appreciate the natural and cultural richness of our town. Detailed trail guides and maps will be available for these walks. The Old Road to Dublin is the first trail to be completed by the committee ...

	The Great Harvest Supper
You are cordially invited to attend the Annual Great Harvest Supper on Saturday evening, beginning at 5:00 p.m., at the Nelson Congregational Church. There are so many delicious foods listed on the menu that we thought we'd give it a whole webpage to itself! Cost is $8.00 for adults and $5.00 for children under 10. More information >>>

Nelson School Forum

Hello, neighbors!

Although it's been some months since the School Forum, the Nelson School Board has been thinking and planning about ways to continue the discussion. Whether or not you were present at the forums, we would like invite you to meet with us to discuss some of the ideas generated by the forum, and seeing if there are other thoughts about the best ways to plan for the future of the students of Nelson.

Please reply to me, or call me at 209-3304, or let Kelly French or Mike Cornog know of your interest and availability. The School Board is meeting for a retreat next week and will then propose a time and place for this discussion.

Thanks to all for your continued support of the Nelson school!

NH Open Doors is an annual cooperative statewide touring and shopping event designed to showcase New Hampshire's outstanding artists, craftspeople, retail shops, specialty food producers, farm stands and orchards, wineries, restaurants, and lodging properties, as well as our cultural events and attractions.

This year, NH Open Doors will take place November 5 - 6. The weekend is a great opportunity for your community to promote the talented people who live and work there.

New Hampshire's historical organizations can participate in NH Open Doors-and raise their own profile-in many ways: by offering programming that demonstrates your mission; by inviting an artist, performer or craftsperson to use your space; by showcasing a local food producer; or through many other creative, community-building activities.

As key members of your community, you best know the local talent whose work is most admired. NH Open Doors can help shine a spotlight on their work-as well as on your own.

NH Open Doors is becoming an event that visitors and residents look forward to, tell their friends about and build their fall schedules around. Last year, more than 150 locations across New Hampshire, covering every region and county, participated in NH Open Doors, and they reported anywhere between 10 and 300 visitors over the course of the weekend.

More information about NH Open Doors, including how to register and an updated list of participants, is available at www.nhopendoors.com.
