“We do not want finances to represent any barrier,” added Cummings. “This program creates opportunities for families to quite literally build memories that will last a lifetime.”
Founded in 1992 by antique and classic boating enthusiasts, NHBM is committed to inspire people of all ages with an understanding of, and appreciation for, the boating heritage of New Hampshire’s fresh waterways.

For people interested in working a little bit for their adventure this summer, New Hampshire Boat Museum (NHBM) offers Youth & Family Boat Building. An opportunity to build the actual boat in which people will row, paddle, or sail, the popular program “launches” July 24 to August 2.
“We provide all the guidance and materials you need to build a craft that will enable you to explore the waterways of New Hampshire,” said NHBM Executive Director Martha Cummings. “It’s an incredible experience, and many of our volunteers are folks who took the class and loved it so much they want to help new participants.”
During the program, participants take kits comprised of flat pieces of wood through construction, fiberglassing, and finishing/painting. The “launch into the lake” is the final step in the process.
2023 boat building scholarships are made possible by Wolfeboro Lion’s Club, New England Antique and Classic Boat Society, Captain Raymond Thombs and Theodore Calpery, Jr. Memorial Fund, New England Lyman Group, Tom and Rose McNamara, Ed-

An Evening with Kyle Carey -‘Gaelic Americana’ Singer-Songwriter
Kyle Carey’s unique trans-Atlantic fusion of music includes influences of the American Folk Anthology, the Appalachian poetry of Louise McNeill, and the traditional music of Ireland, Cape Breton and Scotland. She will be performing at The Barn at Moody Mountain Farm, 100 Pork Hill Rd. Wolfeboro, NH–Saturday, August 12th at 7:00 p.m.
The results are well described by Jeremy Searle of R2 Magazine—‘Kyle Carey is, quite simply, a delight. Drawing from both the American and British folk traditions, her songs, including some very fine originals, are beautifully crafted and performed. She’s assured, confident, charming and irresistible.’ Kyle’s debut album ‘Monongah’, produced by former Lùnasa guitarist Donogh Hennessy, rose to number eight on the Folk DJ charts, landing on a number of ‘Best of 2011’ lists by year’s end.
Her original songs draw heavily from the American folk tradition, while her fluency in Scottish Gaelic makes for her own brand of ‘Gaelic Americana’ music. Kyle’s sophomore release ‘North Star’ recorded in Scotland and produced by Solas founding member Seamus Egan was released in the fall of 2014 to widespread critical acclaim, charting at #45 in the top 200 CDs of 2014—compiled by Folk DJs nationwide.
Her fan-funded third album ‘The Art of Forgetting’, produced by Dirk Powell, features a cast of backing musicians which includes luminaries such as Rhiannon Giddens and John McCusker, and was released in early 2018 on the World Music Network’s Riverboat Records label to wide-spread acclaim –landing on PopMatters ’20 Best
Folk Albums of 2018’ list by year’s end. Having toured for five years on both sides of the Atlantic, Kyle Carey is a unique and innovative artist not to be missed.
Kyle Carey’s newest album, ‘The Last Bough’ will be produced by Kai Welch and released in 2024.
Show begins at 7:00 p.m. and tickets are $25. More information: www. kyleannecarey.com & www.moodymountainfarm.com
