Wakefield Inn

King Pine Ski Area in Madison, NH is holding their Cardboard Box Derby on March 21st from 12pm-4pm.  Bring a creatively decorated cardboard racer for two or four people and race down a special course, even bring theme music and they will play it while you race the course.  Sounds fun!!  This seems like a blast for the family to do this weekend, get some fresh air and enjoy time together.  Prizes will be awarded for speed, appearance and durability; so head on down to the local appliance store and see if they have a few refridgerator boxes hanging around.  Grab the kids and some craft paint and have fune creating a masterpiece to fly down the hill.

This weekend there is also an Open House E. T. Hines Mercantile in Sanbornville.  The shop is just a mile from our Inn and they have a great selection of home decor and gift items.  This is a great place to put together a gift basket for Easter or Mother’s Day and the staff is very helpful if you need some suggestions.  The entry price for the Open House on March 20-21 is a bag of non-perishable food to be donated to the local food pantry.

While you in the area pick up some New Hampshire Maple Syrup at one of the many sap houses all around the state. If the steam is rising from the sap house they are open, March 27 and 28 is NH Maple Weekend and the sap houses are open for tours, they have tastings and fun activities.
