The NH Division of Forests and Lands will have a wildfire truck display and there will be a wildland fire obstacle course for children of all ages to enjoy. There are also several walk thru educational trucks scheduled to be on display including the “Way of the Woods” a mobile forest heritage museum and “Watershed on Wheels” – a hands on interactive display.
You will find forestry demonstrations from past and present, watch craftsmen create their wares from wood, and learn about all that the forests have to offer at the Woodlands Pavilion. Some of the demonstrations scheduled include: Old Tools of the Trade; A Cross Cut Competetion with the UNH Woodsmen; Trail Building and Maintenance; What is Intarsia?; Wood and Art, The Art of Basket Making; a Wood Turner and Wood Carver/Doll Maker.

Celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Weeks Act and Promote Your Business!
How can you promote your business?
The Weeks Act Centennial Committee and the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire (AANNH) are offering a promotional program for businesses of all kinds. In a series of festival events this summer (the July 29 Weeks Act Centennial Festival at the Mt. Washington Auto Road and “Eight Days of Weeks,” the White Mountains Cultural Festival on the eight weekend days of August, in locations from Plymouth to Berlin), they will be distributing thousands of wooden tokens for use at participating businesses throughout the region.
If you choose to participate, you will determine the value of the token for your business. It could be, “Buy one, get one at half price,” or a package or percentage discount: you decide! Once you choose to take part in the promotion, your business and the specific discount you’ll be offering will be listed on the Weeks Act Centennial web site, weekslegacy.org When token holders receive the tokens at the festivals, they will be encouraged to access the web site for a full listing of businesses and discounts.
