SANDWICH NEWS COLUMN
SUBMITTED BY DIANE COOK JOHNSON
We’ve had our first frost in most of Sandwich, the colors in the leaves are changing and there is a definite chill each morning and each evening. Haven’t the days just been wonderful? It would have done wonders for all of us to have had a few of these days mixed in during June and July when it was so rainy day after day. Right now actually, we could use an inch or two of rain (at night); but I am happy just to enjoy what we have. And, I certainly do not want rain Sandwich Fair Weekend.
Saturday, I bundled up my Soft Touch Farm supplies and headed over to Rockywood Deephaven for the Squam Arts Workshop. It was a festive time and I got the chance to demonstrate a bit of needle-felting during the Squam Art Fair in the Deephaven Dining room on Saturday evening. Elizabeth McCrellis of Sandwich organizes the Squam Art Workshops. She did one four day workshop in 2008, two in 2009, and has 4 workshops scheduled for 2010. She is a woman of great Energy, talent, ideas, and enthusiasm. People come from all over the country for these events.
Anyway, I digress. I decided that I would make a presence for Sandwich and the Sandwich Business Group by bringing brochures and information about Sandwich so that the people visiting our area would know a little bit about the town to the east. I gathered the CD from the Advice from the Players “A Fair Assembly” and the CD Audio Guide of Sandwich which Marion and Richard Posner did with the Sandwich Historical Society and the Sandwich Business Group. I haven’t yet listened to the CD from ATTP; but I did listen to the mile by mile exploration of Sandwich—it is wonderfully done and very interesting. You can get copies for $15.95 from me, the Sandwich Historical Society shop, Mocha Rizing, Surroundings, the Corner House, the Sandwich Home Industries, the Patsy Ladd Carega Gallery and possibly other places like the North Sandwich Store. It is worth a listen and would certainly make a great gift. We all have a special place in our hearts for Sandwich and this CD just puts it into words.
Sandwich Historical Society Exhibit
The Elisha Marston House and the special exhibit on “The History of the Sandwich Fairs” will be open through October 3. Hours are Wednesday - Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Enjoy a bit of Sandwich Fair History prior to the 99th Sandwich Fair.
Sandwich Woman’s Club
Last Wednesday, the Sandwich Woman’s Club and their guests had a lovely luncheon at the Carriage House at Castle in the Clouds. The program, presented by Duncan and Jamie Jacks on their R.V. trip across the country, was unfortunately interrupted by some kind of electrical problem. While Duncan was able give an interesting talk about their trip, it was only enough to whet our appetites for the slide program he and Jamie had prepared. Soooo......we're going to give it another try: this Sunday, the 27th, 4 o'clock at the Benz Center.
Jamie, Duncan and the Woman’s Club will be serving punch (non-alcoholic), coffee, and some light refreshments. People are invited to BYOB........wine, beer or "other." Ice and cups will be available. If anyone would like to bring a small appetizer, cookies, etc. to share, that would be great.

Community Food Center
The CFC in Tamworth has been healthier than most Food Pantries in recent months, but the effects of the struggling economy are starting to hit home there, too. In addition to diced tomatoes, cake and frosting mixes, salsa, shampoo, toothpaste, and dishwasher detergent, we need the basics - canned fruit and vegetables, meat, and 'hearty' soups, among others.
I've finally learned to put CFC on our shopping list. Sandwich has been a Godsend to the Center at St. Andrew's, which also serves members of the Sandwich community. Thanks to all! Dick Devens.

After all, intellectual freedom can exist only where the freedom to express oneself and the freedom to choose what opinions and viewpoints to consume are both met.
