Ten Romantic things to do on a Date

By Mike Prisco

Sometimes, there are too many ideas to think about when couples want to plan on going on a date together. Here are ten interesting and fun things to do for a couple to do on a date:

1. A Walk on the Beach at Night – This is a great way to get to know your partner, and beaches have very nice scenery especially if a full moon is out.

2. Have a Picnic –Going on a picnic is not only romantic, but is classy and you get to make your own food together.

3. Star Gazing/Watching the Sunrise –Watching the stars on a clear night sky will bump up the romance as high as the stars go. The same thing goes for watching the sunrise, nothings better than seeing a beautiful sight with your lover.

4. Skiing/Snowboarding – Skiing or snowboarding at a mountain is very fun and is a lot easier when at least one person knows how to ride down the slopes.

5. Make Dinner/Bake Pastries – Why go out and spend more money on dinner when you can make your own with your date? If you know how to cook or don’t, this can be a very fun idea.

6. Go to the Movies – Going to see a movie is the classic thing to do when going on a date, but a non-cheesy movie like a good comedy, drama, or romance movie would be the best.

7. Play mini golf – Playing mini golf or any kind of sport is a great way to compete and have fun with each other and is another classic date to go on

8. Surprises – Anything can be a surprise; like going somewhere with nice scenery or even a little gift can show that you care about your date.

9. Go out to a Club – If you like to dance, going to a club for ages 21 and under is a great place for a date.

10. Seeing a Concert – Everybody loves music, so going out to see a band or singer that both you and your date like, or even it’s someone you’ve never seen before, this is a great idea to take your date.

A Visit from the Dead

by Dorothy England

Saturday and Sunday, October 23 and 24 at 2 pm at the Hopkinton Cemetery the NH Antiquarian Society is presenting a walk through the cemetery. The cost is $5 for members and $7 for non-members which will benefit the the Hopkinton Historical Society. Viewers are encouraged to bring comfortable shoes and chairs if they would like to sit. Refreshments will be after the event at the Hopkinton Historical Society only minutes away from the Cemetery. There are 13 thespians re-enacting the work of Jeff Daizell who with the help of Roxanne Benzel, Natalie Duval, Carol Hooper, and Nacey Leavy researched the lives of 12 people who used to live in Hopkinton. The performance itself is very informational and insightful to Hopkinton's roots. The performance is directed by State Representative Christine Hamm who directed 'Our Town' a few years ago at the Hopkinton Cemetery.

Muddy Pond

by Colin Amoth

A gathering had begun. A group of about two dozen people semi circled around a tarp laid on the banks of the Muddy Pond. From every angle, old and young piled out of cars parked near the edges of the property.  Even a local cameraman, a fan of Strawberry Jam Band, decided to become part of the audience, bringing his camera with him. At about 3 in the afternoon a dark van pulled up and the jamboree at muddy pond began.

 

Flying out of the van came the first acts. Guitars in hand Tess Guilmette and Becca Gonzales flew on the blue tarp. After focusing the microphones onto their acoustics, the first sounds of the Muddy Pond were heard. Fallowing Tess and Becca, Henry Merrow and Co. took the stage and laid down some classy blues/rock. Both bands took away a well-deserved applause.

 

After this came some new faces to the town. Plus All Day came down from Bow to represent their local music scene. After a short discussion on the resent party at the super attendants house they broke out into song, accompanied by acoustic guitars.

 

After a short break Strawberry Jam Band, the crowd favorite, picked up all instruments and reminded the crowd why. Sometimes accompanying the band came another new face to Davisville. John Cheney after about 5 min overtook the crowd by storm. If you could hear him play his bass, you would understand why.

 

The last two bands to end the show was John Cheney going completely solo and them later began to slowly pick up some strag-a-long musicians from the crowd and played one last mega jam before everyone left surrounded by fog.
