Start Your Engines…Lakes Region Car Shows

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper

Car shows bring the best of the past to spectators every week during the warm weather months. A variety of vintage and antique automobiles and other vehicles are on display in business parking lots and other areas to give the public a blast from the past. If you are lucky enough to come across a display of such vehicles, you have come to a car show.

Do not assume car shows are over for the year because it is now autumn, and the weather will soon be chilly. Those who want to show off their antique cars continue to exhibit their vehicles in the fall, and there are lots of events in the area.

On September 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the annual Castle in the Clouds Car Show, the public will have an excellent opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy the autumn weather at the grand estate while viewing a variety of old automobiles.

The show will offer stunning examples of antique cars and motorcycles dating from the turn of the 20th century in an equally stunning setting. Judges will award one prize in each category: Tom Plant era (1914-1941), featured category (British cars), and judges’ choice.

For information on registering a car in the show or for tickets, visit www. castleintheclouds.org or call 603-4765900. The Castle is located at 455 Old Mountain Road in Moultonborough.

A diner parking area is a great place

to show off the best vintage cars, and that is just what the Tilt’n Diner in Tilton does every Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m., weather permitting until the end of October. The Tilt’n Diner Cruise Night was started over 25 years ago by the late Walter Krauz, Jr.; his daughter, Stephanie Krauz Merkely, continues the event.

The show sees many beautiful old cars in the diner’s parking lot at 61 Laconia Road in Tilton. The public can check out classic cars and hot rods, and Merkley says that recently the show saw a 1979 Mac truck among the exhibitors. Other vehicles are classic cars and now and then, street racing cars.

“We welcome all to the show,’ says Merkley.

The car show fills the parking lot with vehicles reminiscent of the days when a fun night out was a burger, milkshake, and the ride in a souped-up car. Call 603-455-7631 for information.

If you love a good Pontiac, head to the Pontiac at the Museum Car Show at the New England Racing Museum in Loudon on Saturday, September 30, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. (The rain date is October 1.) The museum is located at 922 NH Route 106 in Loudon.

The Pontiac show will include 21 classes from 1926 through 2020: Pontiacs, Oaklands, and GMC Classic Trucks. The show is expected to be the largest gathering of Pontiacs in New Hampshire this year, with approximately 100 cars and trucks in attendance.

Registration is $20 per car or truck and will start at 9 a.m. Trophies will be awarded in each class for first, second, and third-place winners at 2 p.m. Registrants will receive one free wristband to view the museum on the day of the event. Each registrant will donate five dollars to the North East Motor Sports Museum, a 501-c-3 NH nonprofit. The Nor’Eastern Pontiac Club will present raffle prizes, and Ames Performance Engineering will have raffle gift certificates.

Spectators may view the car show free of charge - plan to have lunch at the show by Smoke Shack Barbeque. The food truck will provide food and refreshments throughout the day.

The Nor’Eastern Pontiac Club is the largest in New England and is the 59th Chapter of the POCI Organization. For information about the Pontiac show at the Museum, call Jerry Plante at 603370-9515. For information on the museum’s exhibits, contact the North East Motor Sports Museum at 603-7830183.

For those who like old cars and beer, head to the Annual Car Show at Veterans Count Red, White, & Brew Festival at Funspot, located at 573 Endicott Street North in Laconia. Offering some of the hottest cars in New Hampshire, there will be a variety of classic vehicles on display.

“Charmed for the Seasons” – Lynda S. Vogel Found Object/Mixed Media Jewelry”

Brisk air and shorter days denote a change in the seasons. As fall settles in, many beloved holiday events are celebrated from October through December each year. To provide an opportunity to adorn one’s self in seasonal style, a special showing of handcrafted jewelry by Wolfeboro, New Hampshire artist Lynda S. Vogel is slated to open at the Hansel & Gretel Antiques shop in Melvin Village on September 22, 2023. “Charmed for the Seasons” is Vogel’s seventh annual found object/mixed media jewelry show and the public is invited to view her newest collection of work. Her jewelry is displayed on a regular basis at Hansel & Gretel Antiques, but this annual showing provides an opportunity to see new creations from her jewelry line, Designs East. It will also be a chance for the public to meet the artist as well. Located at 436 Gov. Wentworth Highway, Rte 109 in Melvin Village (Tuftonboro), Hansel & Gretel will open “Charmed for the Seasons” starting at 10:00 AM on Friday September 22.

Each piece is hand-crafted and the Designs East jewelry collection features a variety of materials including charms. Vogel’s jewelry is hand-fabricated in small batches. She creates unique mixed media assemblage jewelry incorporating found objects, metals, gemstones, vintage treasures and finds. The assemblage process allows her to build three-dimensional layers for depth and movement. Vogel’s designs are determined by the objects, driven by a lifelong fascination with beads and charms dating from her childhood. Many of her earring and necklace designs are one of a kind,

while others are created in limited production. Jewelry by the artist is made to be enjoyed and worn by everyone in a wide price range.

As a full-time resident in the New Hampshire lakes region, Vogel enjoys the arts, history and outdoor adventures. Previous travels and a professional career as director of a non-profit visual and performing arts organization allowed her to interact with different cultures and diverse art disciplines. She draws from these experiences and uses them as the basis in many of her designs.

Jewelry themes in this year’s show include Halloween, autumn, the Granite State, the American West and a “sneak peek” of Christmas. Beads and natural materials range from turquoise, jasper, lapis, pen shell heshi, freshwater pearls, amber, coral, wood and handcrafted glass. Vintage enameled items, gold vermeil, brass, copper or sterling silver are also incorporated in her work. Found objects in this year’s show range from Europe, Mexico and across the USA.

A larger selection of her Christmas jewelry will be featured at Hansel & Gretel Antiques during the annual Tuftonboro Holiday festival slated for November 10, 11 and 12, 2023.

“Repurposing found objects and recycling them into wearable works of art is rewarding”, explains Vogel. “Simple or intricate designs each have an individual theme.” All found objects play a significant part in the total design of Vogel’s jewelry. Necklaces have titles which are often derived from one element even before she begins.

“One found object can set the tone for an entire piece”, notes Vogel adding, “Finding them is fun, but naming a

finished piece of jewelry based on one or multiple objects is even better.”

The public is invited to meet Lynda S. Vogel on opening day Friday, September 22 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. She will answer questions about her work.

“Charmed for the Seasons” will be on display through October 8, 2023,

and is free and open to the public. Visitors are also invited to enjoy the shop’s wonderful array of antiques, collectibles, handcrafted furniture and unique home décor for sale from over 50 vendors. Hansel & Gretel Antiques hours are 10 AM to 5:00 PM Thursday through Saturday, and Sunday 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Harvest Potluck & Community Conversation

The changing world of energy production and energy use brings opportunities from jobs to cost-savings to cleaner air, as we transition to a new low-pollution energy future. What does that mean for a place like Tamworth?

Please join Cook Memorial Library and Chocorua Lake Conservancy, in partnership with the newly-formed Tamworth Energy Committee, on Wednesday, September 27, at 6PM at the Cook Library in Tamworth, for “Scheming and Dreaming About Tamworth’s Energy Future,” a harvest potluck supper and community conversation about our town’s energy future facilitated by Gabrielle Watson, Chair of the Tamworth Energy Committee. What would you love to see happening in town? Solar generation for town buildings? Help for homeowners and businesses to access discounts on solar and efficient space heating? Electric vehicle chargers? Community solar projects that can lower costs for renters and homeowners who have shady roofs? Or something else? Bring your ideas!

The Energy Committee will share details about the initiatives it has been working on—a Button Up workshop at the Brett School on September 19 to learn about weatherization incen-

tives for your home; Community Power: the bulk purchases of electricity to lower energy bills for all electricity customers in town; an energy audit for the Town Offices; and an electric vehicle expo in the spring. At the event, we will share in the season’s harvest, then break into small groups to envision what we would like to see happen in Tamworth, then come back together to hear from each other. Your ideas will help the Energy Committee set its priorities for what to work on in the months and years ahead.

This free program is part of the CML/CLC series “Climate & Community.” Please register in advance via chocorualake.org/events or tamworthlibrary.org. The Cook Library is wheelchair-accessible.

About the Facilitator: Gabrielle Watson is a Tamworth resident, clean energy transition optimist, and Chair of the Tamworth Energy Committee. In her work as a planner, evaluator and strategist in the public and not-for-profit sectors focusing on economic development, environmental protection and human rights, she often facilitates group processes to make sense of what is and generate ideas for what might be.

The Seacoast Comes to Meredith

While gallery sitting at one of the New Hampshire Art Association’s satellite galleries, Charles Wemyss and Kimberly Meuse planned a collaborative art exhibit at The Galleries at 30 Main. They even came up with a catchy name, “The Seacoast Comes to Meredith”. It is presently showing and will be up through October with a reception on Saturday, September 23rd from 4:00 – 6:00.

Charles Wemeyss was classically trained in high school in drawing, oil, and watercolor painting where they used the Yale University School of Art syllabus. After a forty-year hiatus he began training again for four years under the direction of Sam Vokey, using the Boston School of Impression-

Oak Hill

ist painting as a bench mark for developing old and new skills. Charles is currently painting from nature and in the studio.

Kimberly Meuse is a nationally acclaimed still life watercolorist living on the seacoast of New Hampshire. Her unique style combines sumptuous detail with extraordinary mastery of color. The results are watercolor works that are richly representational and unique. Kimberly takes watercolor painting beyond traditional loose methodologies to create works that defy the confines of representational painting and surmount the challenges inherent in water-based media. The results are exquisitely deep, rich paintings that have become a career-long passion.

Yummy Apple Recipes

By Kelly Ross

Hello Friends. I hope all is well as we start into the fall season. I truly believe we locals all love autumn, but we would likely be more loving of it this year if we had had a sunnier summer. No worries as we just must tread along and deal with whatever Mother Nature throws our way as we have no say in the matter anyway.

One of the most popular thoughts for most of us with any type of culinary mentality during fall is that this is apple season. Yup, that’s my thought today as the major abundance of apples this time of year is always a great reason to serve up some outstanding apple reci-

pes. I truly believe that most everyone’s “go-to” recipes this time of year are usually based around apple pies and apple crisp. Both are outstanding options, but today is more about going off the board, so to speak, although nothing too intimidating, I pride myself on keeping things as simple as possible, as the end result rocks. These will all apply, trust me. Let’s make and eat yummy apple recipes.

So, I have 4 dessert recipes, which are guaranteed to keep most of you smiling. Let’s start with some breakfast fun. I’m a muffin junkie, seriously. Truly one of my favorite things ever, thanks to my wonderful grandmother while

growing up, as her kitchen always had a batch or 2 of incredible muffins and dessert bars and pies. I realize many of my baking recipes aren’t necessarily a lesson in eating healthy, but here’s a shocker, this one is in the big scheme of things. These are delicious, made with whole wheat flour, although you can always use all-purpose flour if you. This is for a dozen muffins, prep is 15 minutes, and cooking time is similar.

Apple Muffins

1 ¾ cups white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour

1 ½ tsp baking powder

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

1 cup grated apple

1 cup apple, diced into ¼ inch cubes

⅓ cup melted coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil

½ cup maple syrup or honey

2 eggs, preferably at room temp

½ cup plain Greek yogurt

½ cup applesauce

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp turbinado sugar, alias raw sugar, for sprinkling on top

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease all 12 cups on your muffin tin with but-

ter or non-stick cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Blend well with a whisk. Add the grated apple and chopped apple. If the grated apples are dripping wet, gently squeeze it over the sink to release some extra moisture. Stir to combine. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oil and maple syrup and beat together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then add the yogurt, applesauce and vanilla and mix well. If the coconut oil solidifies in contact with cold ingredients, gently warm the mixture in the microwave in 30-second bursts. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a big spoon, just until combined. A few lumps are okay. The batter will be thick, but no worries. Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with turbinado sugar. Bake muffins for 13-16 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean. If cooking with honey instead of maple syrup, I suggest cooking at 325 for 23-25 minutes as honey has a tendency of browning more quickly. Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool. If you have leftover muffins,

store them, covered, at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can freeze leftover muffins for up to 3 months if that is an option for you, although my guess is they will disappear in no time. OK, although some may think muffins can work as a dessert as well as breakfast treat, it’s time to focus on more traditional post-dinner fun. Let’s get down ‘n’ dirty now. I mentioned earlier how I wasn’t going to share any apple pie or crisp recipes, but I sort of lied. I’m going to start dessert world with an apple pie, but with a great variation. This is more of a combo of apple crisp and apple pie. If you haven’t figured it out yet, it’s time for a Dutch apple pie. Yummy, right? If not known, a Dutch apple pie has a topping like that of a crisp instead of a usual crust. How awesome is that, right? I do use this idea at times on muffins, coffee cakes and even cookies using the topping. Like any pie, plan on 8 pieces, prep time is an hour, although shorter if you buy a premade crust, and cook time is a tad over an hour. As for what kind of apples to use, that’s your call, although I suggest Braeburns, Cortland’s, Granny Smiths, or even Honey Crips as

2/3 cup packed brown sugar

1 tbsp granulated sugar

In medium bowl, mix 1 cup flour and the salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender, or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions, until particles are the size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tbsp at a time, tossing with a fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl, 1-2 tsp more water can be added if necessary. Gather pastry into a ball. Shape into a flattened round disc on a lightly floured surface. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows

the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry flakier. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling. Heat oven to 400 degrees. On surface sprinkled with flour, using floured rolling pin, roll pastry dough into a circle, two inches larger than a 9-inch pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths, then place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side and being careful not to stretch pastry, which will cause it to shrink when baked. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of pie plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate and flute as desired. In a large bowl, toss the filling ingredients. Pour into pie plate, mounding apples toward center. In a medium bowl, use pastry blender or fingers to mix butter, 1 cup flour and the brown sugar until a crumb forms. Sprinkle evenly over

top of pie. Sprinkle 1 tbsp granulated sugar on top. Bake 45-55 minutes or until pie crust and crumb topping are deep golden brown and filling begins to bubble. Transfer to cooling rack to cool. Serve pie warm or room temp with fresh whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream on top.

In what is maybe the most eccentric recipe of the day, let’s make an apple lasagna. The apple filling is like that in an apple pie, and there is also a great cream cheese layer to it as well, and for the “lasagna” noodles, we use vanilla wafers. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? You can throw this together in less than 45 minutes, although it needs to be refrigerated for at least 8 hours. I make mine the day before I’m planning on serving it. This is made in a 13 x 9 casserole dish, so you’ll get as many portions as you decide to cut, but usu-

Apple Pie Lasagna

For The Apple Mixture

2 lbs apples

2 tbsp flour

½ cup light brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp apple pie spice

4 tbsp fresh lemon juice

4 tbsp maple syrup

For The Cream Cheese Mixture

8 oz cream cheese, room temp

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tbsp sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

½ cup heavy whipping cream

½ tsp vanilla

2 tbsp caramel sauce

Other Ingredients

1 package vanilla wafer cookies, 11 oz

1 lb container frozen whipped topping, thawed

½ cup caramel sauce

½ cup pecans

Core and chop apples into 1-inch size pieces. Place apples into a small saucepan and toss with the flour, sugar, and spices. Add the lemon juice and syrup and toss again. Place over medium-high heat and cook, stirring

from time to time until apples are bubbling and have softened, 15-18 minutes, depending on the type of apples being used and the size of the pieces. Remove from pan and place into the refrigerator for 10 minutes while preparing the next mixtures. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugars, vanilla, and cinnamon. With the machine running, beat in the whipping cream for 2 minutes. Stir in the caramel sauce and set aside. In a 9x13-inch serving dish, place a layer of vanilla wafer cookies, breaking a few as necessary to completely cover the entire bottom of the dish. Spoon 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture on top and smooth to cover completely. Top with 1/3 of the apple mixture, distributing evenly. Repeat this layering process 2 more times. Add whipped topping after layering is finished and spread evenly. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with the pecans. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator for 8 hours or more so that the mixtures soften the vanilla wafers. Serve cold right out of the fridge.

Let’s get into a batch of apple dessert bars next. I’m a dessert bar junkie, there is no doubt about it. I’m not sure if my mouth has ever met a bar or square that didn’t approve. Once introduced to fresh bars by my Gram, I’ve been addicted. Imagine the taste

My Three Promises To You!

of your favorite apple pie, combined with the taste of your favorite apple cobbler, served on a homemade shortbread crust. That’s exactly what these apple cobbler squares taste like. This is a great apple dessert bar to make in the fall or anytime you get a craving for something apple-icious. You can have these made in an hour, it will need to chill for 4 more and will get you a dozen treats.

Apple Cobbler Shortbread Squares

For The Crust

1 stick butter

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

¼ tsp salt

For The Filling

3 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

3 tbsp granulated sugar

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp ground nutmeg

For The Topping

1 cup light brown sugar

¾ cup all-purpose flour

6 tbsp butter, softened

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. To make the crust, in a medium bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add 1 cup

flour and ¼ tsp salt and combine well. Press mixture evenly into baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the filling ingredients and mix until apples are evenly coated. In a medium bowl, combine the topping ingredients and mix until crumbly. Sprinkle half the topping over the cooked crust. Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees. Place apple mixture in an even layer over the topping, then sprinkle with remaining topping. Bake 30-35 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 2 hours then refrigerate for 2 hours. Serve or store in an airtight container. You will not regret making this recipe. To finish up today in our apple overdose, this one, to me, is the ultimate fall apple recipe. I always ran this as a fall dessert in my restaurant career and these would fly out of the kitchen right into the dining room. Baked apples absolutely scream the autumn season and I’ve never met anyone who said they didn’t enjoy them. These delightful baked apples turn out perfectly every time as they feature tender apples stuffed with a buttery oat filling. The recipe yields 4 baked apples and is as easy as pie to double up on depending on your crowd size. You can prep

these in 20 minutes and cook time is more like 50 minutes.

Perfect Baked Apples

4 medium Honeycrisp or Gala apples

½ cup old-fashioned oats

¼ cup lightly packed coconut sugar or brown sugar

¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts

½ tsp ground cinnamon

Pinch of fine salt

4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

¾ cup water

Pure maple syrup as a drizzle when serving

Scoops of vanilla ice cream for the finishing touch

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the oats, sugar, pecans, cinnamon, and salt. Mix in the melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined and moistened throughout. Set it aside. Slice off the top of the apples just below the stem line, about ¾ of an inch down the apple, reserving the tops. Then use a small spoon, or ideally a grapefruit spoon, to scoop out the centers, leaving ½-inch around the edges and along the bottom. Just make sure you don’t core through the bottom of the apple.

Place the apples upright into a medium-sized baking dish, large enough to accommodate the apples without them touching each other or the sides of the pan. If the apples wobble at all, slice off a small piece on the base to make them flatter and more stable. Divide the filling between the apples, then pile any remaining filling around the top of the holes before placing the apple tops back on. Pour the water into the base of the dish to surround the apples. Bake the apples for 45-55 minutes, or until a skewer or small paring knife inserted through the side and down to the base meets only mild resistance. If you prefer softer apples, try baking them for the full 55 minutes.

Let the apples cool a bit before carefully transferring each to an individual plate. Drizzle the apples with maple syrup and serve with a scoop or 2 of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy.

I hope all of you apple junkies out there work some of these gems into your fall cooking rotation because, well, why wouldn’t you, right? I’ll catch you all next week with more food and fun.

Brian Herrick: A Retrospective

Brian Herrick first exhibited his small scenes of Squam Lake at Patricia Carega Gallery in 2015. The 3 x 3 landscapes enchanted their audience and Herrick sold a good number of paintings around the lake and beyond.

Moody clouds over the mountains and the water are all too familiar to local residents, but Herrick’s landscapes capture something more…they tell stories. At the time of Herrick’s first exhibit, he allowed that his paintings were small as he was the father of two very young children. Now that they are older, larger work has surfaced in the colorful Aqua series but the small and intimate moments on the lake still keep coming. We are delighted to have Brian Herrick’s paintings on view again to remind us of the beautiful days of summer in the Lakes Region.

Herrick describes himself as an artist interested in varied mediums. He

is a writer, a painter and a graphic storyteller. No matter what medium he is working in he allows that his work is process-based.

“I look for the surprise ... I find the balance between chance and choice and argue with them both until the work defines itself. The subject matter that I come back to again and again is nature, and my place in it. Nature is simple and simultaneously complex…at first it seems static, while in fact it is always in flux.”

Brian Herrick’s exhibit will be on view at the gallery throughout the month of September. Patricia Ladd Carega gallery is located at 69 Maple Street in Center Sandwich. Though we will be closing when the cold weather arrives, we will be open year-round online.
