It Was a Dark & Stormy Coupla Nights

Wildcat River   Jackson, N.H.  
January 2013 by Cole Scott

Oh, why dwell on the weather here?  It's a rough one but nothing compared to the New England coastal regions.  We've had 16-18" in less than 24 hours.  Hartford, CT had 2' as of 7AM today.  Portland was hammered with 32" and a buoy off the coast of Cape Ann, ME. registered a 32.1' wave.  

This photograph was taken under calmer conditions last month by Cole Scott.  

Fun Stuff We Do in New England

Every year I post photographs of the wildly popular local attraction/contest/tourist draw, "The Pumpkin People" held throughout the Town of Bartlett in the burghs of Jackson, Glen, Bartlett and Harts Location.    Restaurants, lodging establishments, shops come up with original tableaux using something we have in abundance in the Fall:  pumpkins.    These photos are from years past.  The new ones will be on display between Oct1 -21st.  For more info go here.

Every year, the quaint village of Jackson, N.H. distinguishes itself with the leaf peepers by displaying the "Pumpkin People".  As you can see, it's a creative venture designed for visitors and locals and we love it.  Photos taken by someone at the Jackson Chamber and I'm posting the best photos, not necessarily the best vignette.  Enjoy!

I wasn't going to participate this week and then THIS came across my desk:  photos of the current Fall decorations in Jackson, N.H. They're called Pumpkin People. They are a collection of tableaux created by local businesses during the month of October. Aren't they terrific?
