The 9th annual Somersworth Pumpkin Festival, Somersworth NH, Saturday October 8th, 2011
The SFA recently took over the sponsorship of the Pumpkin Festival, which was an event sponsored by the now defunct Main Street Program. It will be held Saturday, Oct. 8, 2011 from 10AM to 4:30PM. It is a family orientated event designed to celebrate all things pumpkin. Come enjoy pumpkin carving, pumpkin painting, pumpkin smashing, a pumpkin catapult, pumpkin bowling, hay rides, scarecrow making, pumpkin putt-putt golf, a family photo shoot, stage entertainment, pumpkin mask making, leaf etching and loads of pumpkin-themed games and lots more. $12 per child, adults free.
Popular activities from previous years, including the pumpkin carving, pumpkin painting, and scarecrow making tents, hay rides, pumpkin smashing area, pumpkin catapult, and pumpkin pie eating contests will return. Longtime familiar favorites will also be on hand, a short parade, Halloween/pumpkin story times, live stage entertainment, pumpkin bowling and loads of food vendors
Here is a detailed map of the festival activities
The $12 bracelets, which allows each person to enjoy the entire festival, (except the food court), can be purchased at the festival information booth the day of the event.

After reading a blog post by fellow Active Rainer, Kathy Schowe, I was a little skepticle of creating a Facebook page for my local area.
I took a look at Kathy's page, 365 Things to do in the Palm Springs Area and was very impressed with the amount of views, and likes she has compiled.
Like many other Realtors, I have a personal Facebook page, and a business page. Both of which I am trying to grow. I was a little unsure if I was going to be able to keep up with the activities of another page. But, like most other things in my life, I dove right in and decided to create the page anyways!
So, without further adieu, I have created 365 things to do in the Portsmouth NH area.

NAR’s Home Ownership Matters Bus Tour has garnered interest and drawn attention to the importance of home ownership throughout its travels.
As policymakers consider changes to government programs and incentives that could dramatically change the nature of home ownership in this country, the Home Ownership Matters Bus tour is bringing these issues directly to people across the United States, and asking them to join in protecting the American dream of home ownership.
In many cities during the tour, the bus-tour team will pull up to a consumer event to speak to the public about current housing issues, such as extending the National Flood Insurance Program, fighting the proposed qualified residential mortgage (QRM) rule that would require down payments of 20 percent, and continuing federal support for home ownership, and invite them to join NAR's efforts.
