The Origins of Halloween and its Customs By Sarah Wright A holiday beloved by children and those who enjoy a good scare, Halloween has been celebrated for centuries. However, not many people give a thought to the history behind this spooky day. Long ago, Halloween was a somber Celtic ritual, but over many years it changed shape, and different traditions were combined to become the fun event of today, with parties, costume parades and treats. The holiday originally evolved from the ancient Celtic ritual of “Samhain,” a day that marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. The Celts also believed that this transition between the seasons somehow opened a bridge to the world of the dead. Seems like a big leap, but it can be imagined that it could seem that way, with winter forcing nature into hibernation, like a “sleeping” death. Along with crops turning brown, the Celts thought that spirits came out to cause trouble. In response to this, sacrifices were burned in large bonfires to please the spirits. Winter was a harsh time for everyone, so on Samhain, the Celts looked to their priests to make predictions for the upcoming year, as it was believed that seeing the future was more likely with spirits walking about. Years later, in the eighth century, the Christian church appropriated the pagan holiday, declaring November 1 to be All Saints’ Day or All Hallows, a day when known and unknown

Tim e To Get You r Dini ng Roo m In Sha pe For The Holi day s!

saints among us were recognized. The night before became All Hallows Eve, eventually shortened to Halloween. You might be wondering how costumes figured into this. Disguises were always a part of Halloween. The Celts wore cloaks and animal hides to conceal themselves from roaming ghosts. In Medieval England, people were afraid to leave their homes at night, thinking they might encounter the walking dead. If they had to go out, they put on scary disguises to fool the spirits into thinking they were one of them. Consequently, another tradition of early Halloween was to put food and wine out in front of the home as a way to appease the spirits and hopefully keep them from coming

inside. People were very paranoid back then, but it must’ve been creepy living by candlelight with all those shadows dancing on the walls! When did trick-or-treating come about? In medieval times people also celebrated All Souls’ Day on November 2. The poor and needy would go doorto-door, begging for food, and were often given small pastries called “soul cakes.” In exchange for the food, they would promise to pray for peoples’ dead relatives. In later years, young people began dressing up for fun. They would walk around telling jokes, reciting poetry, or singing, and would be given food, wine or money in return. Believe it or not, we were late to the party. Halloween didn’t make it across

the ocean to America until the early 19th century. When the first settlers arrived on our shores, they left most traditions behind, in order to create a new society. And with many of those settlers being Puritans, they weren’t keen on a celebration with pagan origins. It wasn’t until the potato famine hit Ireland in 1845, when millions of Irish arrived in America, that the celebration of Halloween came with them. The tradition was officially revived, although the holiday was more about tricks than treats in those days! It was the one night of the year when communities generally tolerated pranks, which ranged from the playful to the destructive. Mailboxes, fences and gravestones were popular targets. Many years later, in the 1940s, the holiday became family-friendly. Today, it’s the second most commercial holiday after Christmas, with people spending six billion dollars each year on costumes, decorations and candy. Roughly half of Americans carve pumpkins every year, but how did pumpkin carving become synonymous with Halloween? That originated in Ireland, too, although they didn’t have pumpkins, so they carved rutabagas and turnips. The Irish thought that if they lit them like lanterns and carried them around on Halloween, evil spirits would leave them alone. One of those

• Halloween Continued from page 3 evil spirits was named “Stingy Jack” from Irish folklore. According to legend, the devil wanted Jack’s soul, but Jack successfully bet him for it three times, winning through trickery. When Jack later died, it’s said that God wouldn’t let the unsavory man into Heaven, and having tricked the devil, Jack wasn’t allowed into Hell, either. He was made to walk the earth, using a coal in a carved turnip to light his way. This is where the term “jack-o-lantern” comes from. When the Irish arrived in America, they discovered the pumpkin, and found that it was much easier to

carve than a turnip! I cannot write about Halloween without mentioning candy. A quarter of the candy sold in this country each year is sold around Halloween—and every child is hoping to score as much of that as possible! But plenty of adults look forward to those fun-sized candy bars, too. Here’s a great statistic: Ninety percent of parents admit to sneaking candy from their kids’ Halloween stash. Who can resist? It is no surprise that chocolate is the clear favorite at Halloween. Informal surveys have been taken, and Snickers and Reese’s take the top spots for most coveted candy. If you’re allergic to nuts, alternate favorites include M&Ms, Kit Kats, and Twix bars. When kids want something

chewy and fruit-flavored, they opt for Skittles or Twizzlers. You might be interested to know that it took a while for candy to take center stage at Halloween. For instance, kids ringing a stranger’s doorbell in 1948 received all sorts of things: Coins, nuts, fruit, cookies, cakes, and toys were as likely as candy. It was during the late 1950s that candy began to dominate. Candy was easy to buy and hand out, making it a convenient choice for Halloween hosts. Small, inexpensive candies became popular, so major candy manufacturers began making smaller candy bars or bags of candy corn for the occasion. Love it or hate it, candy corn is an integral part of the holiday. Unfortunately, the true creator of candy

corn is unknown, but first reports of the multi-colored candy began in the 1880s, when it started appearing around the Halloween season. Soon after, the Wunderle Candy Company began mass-producing candy corn under the name “chicken feed.” In 1898, the recipe for the candy was adopted by the Goelitz Candy Company who quickly became the primary producer of the faux corn. Agricultural America in the late 19th century embraced the sweet little treats that reminded them of the season’s harvest time roots. Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, so why not celebrate all weekend? Throw a costume party, play some games, create some crafts with the kids, and join the candy free-forall in your town. Just watch out for

Winter Farmer’s Market to Open in Wolfeboro The Wolfeboro Area Farmer’s Market will host a winter market in Wolfeboro, beginning Saturday, Nov. 14 and running on the second and fourth Saturday of each month through April 9. The market will be located in the First Congregational Church of Wolfeboro, 115 South Main Street and will be open from 10 am to 2 pm. At, this time, the Wolfeboro Area Farmers Market Board of Directors welcomes vendor applications for the 2015-2016 winter market season. The Wolfeboro Area Farmer’s Market, a non-profit organization, hosts a summer market in Wolfeboro at Clark Park, and expects many of that market’s most popular vendors to participate in the winter market. “We look for vendors who reflect our long-standing commitment to the local agricultural economy, and who we think are a good match for what the community needs,” said Fred Martin, board chair. “Our busy summer market, and last year’s winter market, has shown us that the community wants to support

these farms, and we’re proud to facilitate that connection almost year-round now.” The organization ran a winter market in Ossipee last year, and the board voted to bring the market to downtown Wolfeboro to better meet the needs of its customers. Interested farmers and food producers from within a 50-mile radius of Wolfeboro are welcome to apply to be vendors, and a vendor application can be found at www. WolfeboroAreaFarmersMarket.com. Interested vendors may also contact Board Secretary Kathy Wotton at 5398134 or by email at wottonfarm@ gmail.com. Selected craft vendors may be accepted on a space-available basis, but the board’s emphasis is on vendors selling agricultural products. The Wolfeboro Area Farmer’s Market is governed by an all-volunteer board of directors and was founded in 2002 through the vision of local farmers and citizens who wanted to provide a central venue to sell directly to their neighborhood customers.

During World War II, building and maintaining a Victory Garden was everyone’s patriotic duty. Join Christin Kaiser and Lisa Simpson Lutts to learn all about Victory Gardens. Lisa Simpson Lutts will talk about the Victory Garden phenomenon that swept across the nation. World War II was a time when urban and rural families raised their own vegetables and fruit. The gardens were morale boosters, but also freed up canned vegetables and fruits to feed the troops and our Allies abroad. Lutts will recount how housewives preserved their food with canning, drying, and freezing. Using this history as a springboard, Christin Kaiser will explain how raising quality vegetables today can enable people to become more food independent. Kaiser also will talk about crops that can be raised in the Lakes Region, soil maintenance, and various types of food preservation.

As part of Wolfeboro’s monthly Art Walk, The Art Place in downtown Wolfeboro will hold an opening reception for Robin Cornwell on Friday, Oct. 30 from 5 to 8 pm. The exhibit will highlight Cornwell’s Amate’ bark paintings, inspired by a Mexican art tradition as old as the Aztec empire. Robin Cornwell is a Wolfeboro artist, whose paintings are created with a variety of paints and drawing tools on a rich paper, ranging from deep browns to pale pastel colors. Robin says, “The area of art I love most is design, particularly pattern. The Mexican paintings are full of repeated shapes, colored in bold, bright, solid areas of color. So to work in the fashion of the Mexican artists, I too use repetition to fill in the paper with my images and rich colors.” Cornwell often turns to sea life as inspiration for her paintings. She adorns the pages with fish and plant

coast to coast in support of their two studio albums, Baby to Beast (2012) and Young Love (January 2014). “I figured out sort of a mathematical equation last night—it’s like Satch plus Django plus Joplin plus Bob Wills plus a little Bill Monroe, but the sum is actually greater than the parts,” said Jason Marck of WBEZ Chicago’s Morning Shift, introducing the band for a live segment in November 2014. The band’s latest release is Live At The Ark (December 2014), recorded in one night in their hometown. With a mix of new and old material, as well as a few special requested covers, Appleseed does just that. The album balances barnburners, old soul jazz, and sparse mood pieces, all suspended above a room hungry for more. Joshua Pickard at Beats Per Minute says, “music best served alongside a roaring campfire but that also has the ability to challenge the rafters of any grand arena.” You get to hear them beneath the lovely old rafters of The Barnstormers!

Spiritual Encounters in the Lakes Region By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper New England is the perfect place for ghosts. It is here that early settlers built homes and created small towns. Tales of witch hunts and ghosts are particularly popular in the New England states, and New Hampshire has its shares of such stories. The Lakes Region has it share of ghostly stories, with tales of oldenday witches and other creatures that go bump in the night. Many of the tales are not well known and are repeated more often as Halloween approaches. Readers would be surprised to learn that the gentle Shakers of Canterbury Shaker Village believed in spiritual encounters. The village was the home of the believers in Mother Ann Lee’s

religion, with members commonly called Shakers. Many men, women and children lived and worked at Canterbury Shaker Village in the 1800s and into the 1900s. The peaceful religious group was good neighbors, known to show compassion to all. What is less well known is the fact that the Shakers believed in ghosts or “spirits” as they called them. While many Christian beliefs find the idea of ghosts or a spirit world to be off limits or downright absurd, to the Shakers it all made sense. There are many written accounts of Shakers being visited by spirits of departed fellow members and others. A Shaker member wrote, “We have frequently been visited by a tribe of Indians (spirits of Indians), who used to live in this country, and whose spirits

still come back here occasionally.” Séances, along with ghostly sightings, were common among the Shakers. In the 1800s and early 1900s, if the neighbors of the Canterbury Shakers had known about the practice of calling forth the spirits of the dead, they would likely have been quite surprised. Séances were looked upon as akin to witchcraft. For the Shakers, however, ghost sightings and calling upon spirits were simply ways to communicate with those who had passed to heaven. If one believed in an after life, it stood to reason those in the after world might wish to communicate with loved ones on earth. If thought of in this way, ghosts make perfect sense and it is much less frightening to think of a departed loved one as stopping by for a visit than to imagine ghosts as evil spirits! Of all the Halloween creatures, none can frighten people as much as a witch. Tales of the powerful creatures, said to be in collusion with the devil, strike fear, especially at Halloween. During the 1700s and 1800s, any woman who was a bit odd or eccentric could be labeled a witch. At the height of the witch hunting hysteria, a woman had only to anger a neighbor for the cry of “witch” to spread in a community. New Hampshire had its own witchhunts and folk tales of evil women and men who frightened and did terrible deeds to locals in the 1700 and 1800s. One woman labeled a witch was said to live in Meredith Center and was

• Yesteryear Continued from page 10 known only as Mrs. T. Her main crime in the 1800s seemed to be her habit of borrowing things from her neighbors and never returning the favor. One day, she asked to borrow butter from a neighboring woman who had none to lend. Mrs. T did not like to be refused in her borrowing and went away muttering threats. Perhaps to oblige Mrs. T, and because she had no butter herself, the neighbor set about her usual butter churning. She worked at the butter churn for hours but was unable to achieve results. Finally, the butter churner, suspecting witchcraft, said, “If Mrs. T is in that churn, I will get her out.” She took a red-hot hook from the fireplace and dropped it into the butter churn, and soon butter was produced. Mrs. T’s children ran to the neighbor woman and related that their mother was very ill. Mrs. T died soon after, with a terrible burn on her neck in the

shape of a hook, just like the one the butter-churning neighbor took from the fireplace. According to Eva A. Speare, author of NH Folk Tales, a witch once lived in Plymouth, New Hampshire in the form of a hermit nicknamed “Old Dr. Dearborn.” He lived in a small, remote cottage. Local girls had the task of carrying food and supplies to Dr. Dearborn. One day, as the children were visiting the hermit, he told them of his encounter with a witch. He said that when he was a teenager living in Campton, his father owned a fine horse, which the hermit often rode. When riding the horse, the hermit passed the home of a woman named Dolly who was said to be a witch. Suddenly, a black cat ran from Dolly’s porch and leaped to the horse’s neck. The horse stopped in its tracks, and refused to move, even when the rider used a whip. Also feeling the whip was the black cat, which clung to the

horse’s neck. Eventually the cat ran off and the boy went home. The next day when the boy went to check on the horse, it hadn’t a mark on it and seemed its usual healthy self. But as for Dolly, a neighbor soon arrived and related that she was nearly dead, “covered with welts and bruises and scarcely breathing from fatigue.” The hermit finished his tale, much to the fright of the girls, by saying, “You see, I almost killed the old witch when she turned into a black cat and bewitched my horse.” This writer has a relative who had his own ghostly tale. On an autumn’s day, as a teenager, he took a walk in the woods; his destination was Inspiration Point in Bristol. Hiking up a trail, he knew the path by heart, having taken it many times over the years. It was a

blustery fall day, with leaves blowing from the trees and a bright blue sky and brilliant sunshine, the perfect time for a fall hike. Once he reached the top of the mountain, he sat quietly and gazed over the town of Bristol far below. Inspiration Point is an open air, mountain top area with wooden benches and a large wooden cross for outdoor ceremonies and services. He had the place to himself and became lost in meditation. After a time, he felt he was not alone and glanced to one side to see a woman sitting quietly on a bench. He said her clothing looked odd, as if from another time and she too, appeared lost in thought. They did not speak or make

• Yesteryear Continued from page 11 eye contact, but he felt uncomfortable and decided it was time to leave. Walking towards the footpath, he glanced back and realized the woman was gone. A chill ran through him because he knew she would have had no time to walk away and there was but the one path down the mountain; she had not passed him but seemed to disappear into thin air. Needless to say, his hike down the mountain was taken at a very brisk pace! If ghosts strike fear into our hearts, a walk through a cemetery on a dark night can set the stage for a haunted visitation. A New England cemetery, with lichen-covered stones leaning this

way and that in the ground causes even the most brave to become fearful. Fear of cemeteries was not always as strong, because in the early days of central New Hampshire settlement, people buried their loved ones on their own land. Towns were few and far between, and people made family graveyards near their homesteads. There was probably less fear of a graveyard where well-known loved ones were buried, since those loved ones were a mother, father, grandparents or a sibling. Between the early 1800s and 1920s three types of stones were most common: marble, used mostly around the mid-1800s; and soapstone and slate, used before marble became popular.

• Classical Concert Continued from page 16 Settlement Music School and Harlem School of the Arts, and since 1999, at Lubec, Maine’s enormously successful SummerKeys, an immersion music program that serves people of all skill levels from across the world. Wolfeboro Friends of Music board member, Eric Taussig, has studied at SummerKeys many seasons with Charles and admires him immensely. Eric shared, “Charles is a most engaging pianist who enjoys playing and shows his emotions through the music he plays.” Charles’ love of playing has led to honors throughout his career, which include first-place winner in the National Music Teachers Association Competition and as a featured artist at the Rome Festival, Rome, Italy, from which he received an open invitation to return. He has performed throughout the eastern United States, including Lincoln Center, appeared on radio and public television in New York and Virginia and been a soloist with the Charleston Symphony Orchestra as well as the NCSA Orchestra as a result of winning competitions held by both. The enjoyment of his art, his energy and distinct interpretive approaches to the different composers will show full force in Charles’ Friends of Music program. The evening will open with Ludwig van Beethoven’s Sonata in D Major, Op. 10, and No. 3, generally acknowledged to be the maestro’s first masterpiece and described as “enigmatic” in its “cool clear brilliance and sumptuous variety of moods and

ideas.” The program will continue with two selections by the mercurial Alexander Scriabin: his exceptionally challenging “Etude in C Sharp Minor, Opus 42 No. 5” that has a melody reminiscent of Russian Gypsy music, and “Sonata No. 5, Op. 53” once described as the most difficult piece in the entire piano repertory along with Franz Liszt’s Mephisto Waltz No. 1. Argentinean composer Alberto Ginastera’s Sonata No. 1, Op. 22 will open the second half of the program. The composer’s “intention for the piece was to capture the spirit of Argentine folk music without relying on explicit quotations from existing folk songs.” Three Frederic Chopin works will bring the concert to a graceful and, at times, fiery conclusion. First, Chopin’s “Etude in A Flat Major, Op. 25, No. 1” dedicated to his friend Franz Liszt, followed by the delicate “Etude in E Major, Op. 10, No. 3” and concluding with Ballade in F Minor, Op. 52, No. 4, considered the greatest of his four ballads. This is the second of eight programs presented by Wolfeboro Friends of Music to people of the greater Lakes Region during its season, which runs from September through May. Tickets are available for $20 at the door; at Black’s Paper Store and Avery Insurance in Wolfeboro; or at Innisfree Bookshop in Meredith; by calling 569-2151 or by visiting www. wfriendsofmusic.org. Please note WFOM’s special policy: High school students with ID will be admitted free of charge. A child accompanied by an adult ticket purchaser will be admitted free of charge.

Preparing Your Yard for Cold Weather By Cal Felicetti, Consulting Arborist for Chippers Inc. Colder weather extremes of snow, wind and lower temperatures can take their toll on your landscapes. Damage to trees and shrubs is common and even turf and groundcovers are vulnerable. What can be done to prevent severe damage to your yard as cold weather is upon us? As in many other aspects of life, follow the old adage, an once of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Proper pruning and cabling when necessary reduces damage caused by winter. Thoughtfully pruned shade trees develop strong branch attachments

supporting the weight of ice and heavy snow in winter. Hedges with correct taper will shed snow and support an aesthetically attractive but inherently weak leader even when loaded with snow or ice. Colder weather winds are very drying, especially for broad-leaf or coniferous evergreen trees and shrubs. Plant only hardy species for NH’s growing zones in the most exposed areas, watering new evergreen plantings in the fall and mulching annually to insulate the roots. When planting or replacing trees or shrubs, choose native and ice-resistant specials. (You can find more information at the

Consulting and More page of www. chippersinc.com.) Chippers advises good overall arboricultural practices to maintain the health of your trees and shrubs in the prevention of sun scald or frost cracking – covering the trunks of young trees with wrap can sometimes be helpful, but remember to remove the wrap after the trees leaf out fully in the spring. Keep in mind that a rapid change in temperature is a tree’s or shrub’s worst enemy and this generally occurs with westerly exposure. Our arborists recommend pruning your trees during the winter when they are dormant. This prevents the

spread of disease, helps the arborist with increased visibility for form development and disease/hazard detection and minimizes shock to the trees because of leaf loss. As an added bonus, when the ground is frozen there is minimal damage to lawns, gardens or the forest floor. Even after doing everything possible to prevent winter damage, it sometimes happens. Trees and shrubs that experience moderate storm damage can often make a full recovery over time. When damage occurs,

Handmade History at the Laconia Historical and Museum Society By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper I love handmade items and if they were made long ago and are still in good condition, so much the better. Old quilts and embroidered tablecloths and pillows and braided or hooked rugs are creative pieces of history that, for me, hold great appeal. Often, they echo the time period in which they were made, such as quilts made during World War II. During the war, supplies were limited and quilters showed great ingenuity in creating colorful bed coverings with fabric scraps that might have otherwise been tossed out. My admiration for antique fabrics led me to the current exhibit on the top floor of the Laconia Public Library in downtown Laconia, titled A History of Home Textile Arts. Organized and presented by the Laconia Historical and Museum Society, the exhibit features all sorts of textiles from the Society’s collection as well as items on loan from area residents. The exhibit is a must-see if you like old textiles. The day I visited, I was amazed to see how many items are featured in this thoughtfully-planned exhibit. Each textile form has its own area in the rotunda-shaped room. Plexiglas cases are full of old items that aided women in their sewing endeavors, from threads to rug hooks to buttons and other tools of the trade. I started my tour of the exhibit on the left-hand side of the rotunda and stopped to gaze at a charming little vignette with a teacup and saucer and an old book titled The Book of

Samplers. The items sit on a little table covered with an embroidered cloth, circa 1929. Anna Chapman, great grandmother of Pam Clark, president of the Laconia Historical and Museum Society, embroidered the cloth. The fine stitching is amazing and shows that at a time before television and the Internet, women indeed filled their leisure time with creative endeavors such as embroidery. Large poster board copy at each exhibit area explains the history of the textiles and how each has evolved over the years. Next on the exhibit tour was a display case full of gorgeous old lacy items. I loved the drawn lace kerchief that looked so fragile but still retains its vibrant red and cream crewel and drawn lace handiwork. Today we might scoff

at the idea of a lacy and crewel work handkerchief – why spend so much time on such an item, we could ask, when we can purchase a box of tissues at the store? The answer is because at one time there weren’t tissues and every fabric that was used was important and worthy of the handiwork and creative stitchery of women of all ages. An 1890s bodice in the same case features tatted lace and crewelwork, again showing the care and intricacy of hand-sewn items. Charming little embroidery samples show us that even cotton hand towels were adorned with sewing featuring embroidered sailing ships and buttons for added embellishments. The exhibit comes alive with old photos of some of the women who sewed items that are in the exhibit, such

as lace and embroidered items by Elsie M. Corriveau. Elsie gazes at us from an old black-and-white family photo; one wonders how she found the time to do such beautiful handiwork with a family of three children! These days a lot of people have taken up the hobby/craft of knitting, but you don’t hear much about the art of tatting. Similar to crocheting, tatting is an old handiwork art that creates beautiful lacy objects. An exhibit area features tatted items and the tools and threads used to create tatting. Because lace once adorned many garments, tatting was something many women did to create lace collars and cuffs. The exhibit also features tatting shuttles and bobbin lace bobbins. In an antique baby carriage, an embroidered baby cover shows the care a family member put into preparing for the baby. The coverlet is circa 1929 and was stitched and embroidered by Anna Chapman for her granddaughter. The most amazing portion of the exhibit, to my way of thinking, is the crotched bedspread on display in all its 1920s glory. The patterned spread is a cream color and features the handiwork of Henrietta Fortin of Laconia. She made the bedspread in the 1920s and it is a breathtakingly beautiful piece of work. Knitting is very popular and enthusiasts will like the portion of

Dracula Presented by Northeast Ballet “What manner of man is this, or what manner of creature is it in the semblance of a man?” asks Johnathan Harker, the narrator of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Come to Northeastern Ballet Theatre’s production of Dracula on Saturday, Oct. 24 at 7 pm at Oyster River High School in Durham, New Hampshire to find out! Edra Toth, Artistic Director and Founder of Northeastern Ballet Theatre, had this to say about her artistic interpretation of Dracula, “My vision of Dracula is a compilation of Bram Stoker’s original character from his novel and that of Francis Ford Coppola’s movie version, the latter of which portrayed Dracula with more human qualities. It is my hope that the audience will experience a wide range of emotions and identify with the human aspect of Dracula. I was very conscious not to create a ‘commercialized’ version of the character.” The lead role of Dracula will be played by Assaf Benchetrit, Assistant Professor of Theater and Dance (dance) at the University of New Hampshire. Mr. Benchetrit began his dance and music studies at the Rubin Academy for Music

and Dance in Jerusalem, Israel. Upon graduation, he danced with the Jerusalem Dance Theater, the Panov Ballet, and later with The Israeli National Ballet Company. During his military service, Assaf received the “Remarkable Dancer” prize from the Israeli government which allowed him to continue dancing while serving. After completing his military service, he arrived in the United States to dance with companies such as The Joffrey, Metropolitan Classical Ballet, Alabama Ballet, and Gelsey Kirkland Ballet. He performed lead roles in the majority of renowned ballet productions such as Swan Lake as Siegfried, Don Quixote as Basilio, La Corsaire as Ali, La Bayadere as Solar, Coppelia as Franz, Sleeping Beauty as the Prince, the title-role in Petrushka, and a number of George Balanchine works including Apollo in the title-role, Donizetti Variations and the Nutcracker as Cavalier. He also starred as Gaston in Northeastern Ballet Theatre’s original production of Beauty and the Beast in April 2015. All of the other dancers in this professional production study ballet at Northeastern Ballet Theatre; the

company has studios in Wolfeboro and Dover. Experience the passion and drama that is Dracula. This is not your ordinary ballet performance! Parental discretion is advised for children under age 10. Tickets are available at

northeasternballettheatre.ticketleap.com/ dracula-oyster-river/ or by calling 8348834. For more information, visit www. northeasternballet.org. “Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make!”

October 12, 2015 history, information in the exhibit tells us that there was once a business in downtown Laconia called Baker’s Fabric Factory. The factory was in business from 1922 to 1969 and must have been quite a place for fabric lovers! A circa 1880s friendship quilt is also on display with signatures of women who worked on the piece. I particularly enjoyed viewing a group of hooked rugs from the Society’s collection as well as some on loan from individuals. I love hooked rugs in the primitive style and the antique rugs are among the best I have seen with floral patterns and one of a large old farmhouse. The colors are still somewhat vibrant, attesting to the good condition of the rugs. The exhibit is well worth stopping by the Laconia Public Library; it is on display through November and offers a look at how textiles were once made. Everything from lace collars to tablecloths, knitted coverlets and hooked rugs show the care people once had when making and preserving old items. The items truly are a look at our handmade history. For information on the exhibit, visit www.laconiahistorical.org or call 5271278.

• Day Tripping Continued from page 21 the exhibit on knit items. Featured are wooden knitting needs, examples of knitted lace and knitted lace trim bonnet and knit gloves, among other items. A salesman’s sample of a Samuel Thomas loom circa 1850 shows a miniature version of a loom once used for knitting. (Thomas held the patent for looms and at one time owned the Belknap Mills property in Laconia.) Next to the salesman’s sample sits a beautiful, full-sized Swedish made Four Harness Loom circa 1970, on loan from Eliza Leadbeater. Near the loom, a wonderful and huge old Columbus Silk Tapestry circa 1892 is a most unusual table covering with a blue silky background and ornate design. At one time, every little girl learned to sew, whether at a sewing machine or by hand. Examples of children’s sewing projects and dress patterns take the viewer back to a time when clothing was handmade unless a professional dressmaker was hired to make a garment for a special occasion. For those who love tidbits of local
