The 16th Annual North Country Moose Festival will be held
on 24-26 August 2007 in Colebrook and Pittsburg, NH, and Canaan,
VT. For the list of events and venues, go to
www.northcountrychamber.org
The festival is an old fashioned, small town event. It's
family oriented and very low-key, so don't expect to be wow'd
with amusement rides or anything very hi-tech/sophisticated.
There is a photo contest, but you are required to pre-register
to enter (the website tells you how) and all your submittals
must be framed (yes, framed, not just matted). The "big"
prizes are two $25 gift certificates; the rest of the prizes
are ribbons.
If you've never been up "above the notch", there's
lots to see and do in the area, and you'll find a lot of photo
ops, particularly of nature and wildlife. The photo below
was taken last year at one of the local ponds. Both Linda
L. and Dianna M. were hesitant to take their cameras in the
canoe with them, but shortly after leaving the shore, they
were glad they did.
