Alton Patriotic Boat Parade July 1

The Alton Bay Christian Conference Center will be conducting its first Inaugural Patriotic Boat Parade on Saturday, July 1st at 5:00 p.m. The Conference Center has been a “beacon on the hill” for the last 150 years established in 1863. There could be as many as 50 boats and many wave runners that will venture out of back bay and will travel in front of the bandstand to the bridge and back by Sandy Point. The theme of the parade is GOD, FAMILY AND COUNTRY. The Alton Police boat will lead the parade and the Alton Fire Boat will bring up the end. There will be live music with every boat filled to capacity and will be decorated in the Patriotic theme. Join in the fun by watching the parade and helping us celebrate God, our families and our country!

One of the Greatest Voices of Our Time to Open Great Waters 2023 Season

Linda Eder, one of the greatest voices of our time, will open the 2023 Great Waters season on Saturday, July 8th at Anderson Hall on the Brewster Academy campus in Wolfeboro. Her diverse repertoire spans Broadway, Standards, Pop, Country and Jazz and she moves with ease from one genre to another throughout her performance.

Born in Tucson, Arizona and raised in Brainerd, Minnesota, Eder began her singing career right out of high school. She launched her recording career in 1991 with her self-titled debut album and soon after established a vital niche as America’s most popular and acclaimed new interpreter of Pop, Standard and Theatrical genres.

The concert stage remains the mainstay of Eder’s career. She has performed for sold-out crowds in venues across the country and throughout Europe including Carnegie Hall in New York, the Kennedy Center in Washington DC and Davies Hall In San Francisco. In addition, she has collaborated with Oscar winning composer and pianist the late Marvin Hamlisch, Emmy and Grammy Award winner Michael Feinstein and Keith Lockhart, conductor of the Boston Pops.

Things to see and Things to do

Ms. Eder is probably best known for her award-winning performance as Lucy Harris in the original Broadway production of Jekyll and Hyde. As the tragic character Lucy, Eder blew the roof off the Plymouth Theatre in New York City and was nominated for a Drama Desk Award and she received the Theater World Award for Best Broadway debut. Stephen Holden one of the leading theatre and film critics at the time stated, “What do we mean when we use the word perfection? The question arises every time I watch the pop singer Lin da Eder”.

In addition to performing on the concert stage, her other accomplishments include the recording of seventeen solo albums as well as teaching master classes and private voice lessons in person and on Skype.

The 2023 Concerts in Town performances at Brewster are sponsored in part through the generosity of the Curvey Family Foundation. Tickets for this performance and all other Great Waters 2023 performances may be purchased on-line at www.greatwaters.org or by calling the office at 603-569-7710.

Great Waters is a 501©3 non-profit organization dedicated to presenting outstanding musical performances to those living in and visiting the Lakes Region of New Hampshire.

Live Loon Cam Streaming from NH

The Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) has recently begun broadcasting a 24/7 Live Loon Cam. Now in its ninth year of operation, the cam is streaming live on YouTube and features a pair of loons nesting in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. The first egg was laid on June 11th, and a second egg is expected between June 13th –June 14th. Hatch is expected to occur between July 7th –9th. Over the next 28 days, viewers can watch, up close and in real time, as the birds incubate their eggs and hatch their chicks. During this time, they will also see the loons interact with one another and with the other wildlife species that they share their home lake with.

LPC Volunteer and Loon Cam Operator, Bill Gassman, noted that many Loon Cam viewers often feel that they come to know the loons that they are watching over the course of the 28-day

The Adventure Is Open

incubation period. “In the nine years that the cam has been running, we have shown four different pairs of loons. Inevitably, we come to discover that each pair’s behaviors and routines are unique, and that the loons seem to have their own personalities and quirks. Part of the fun of watching the Loon Cam is coming to know these loons and seeing how the pair interacts with each other and their chicks.”

In addition to watching the loons, viewers of the cam will also have the option to participate in an online chat with other viewers and with LPC biologists. The chat allows viewers to share events that happen on camera, connect, and socialize over their love of the birds.
