Some of the Exciting Musical Experiences Found in The Lakes Region of New Hampshire!

Having spent my whole life involved in music both as a music educator and musician, one of the most wonderful things next to the natural beauty of the Lakes Region of New Hampshire is the incredible musical experiences one can have when visiting or living here, and it isn't just in the summer months though that is when the many of the outside tent and pavilion concerts are held.

The four season beauty of the Lakes Region of New Hampshire is unsurpassed anywhere. Summer brings hiking, boating, swimming, antiquing, and concerts, such as Meadowbrook in Gilford, The Great Waters Music Festival, and Heifetz International Music Institute both in Wolfeboro and Stone Mountain Arts Center in Brownsfield, Maine less then an hour away this is just the beginning of what will fill your activities list. Click on any of the links above to see the amazing music acts coming in this year. I have purchased my tickets to see Diana Krall, The Barra MacNeils, and the Punch Brothers.
There's also a tremendous amount of free music in the area, with band concerts in Wolfeboro, Moutonborough, Gilford, Alton and Center Harbor. The Fourth of July Parades around Lake Winnipesaukee and Squam Lake have to be some of the finest anywhere in the United States with bands, floats, and politicians galore!

Wolfeboro New Hampshire "The Oldest Summer Resort in America"

With spring taking hold I feel blessed to live on the gold coast of Lake Winnipesaukee. This is East Alton, Wolfeboro, Tuftonboro (Mirror Lake & Melvin Village) as well as part of Moultonborough.

It is route 109 on the eastern side of the lake. The westerly views across Winnipesaukee towards the Belknap Mountains in Alton and Gilford are breathtaking especially at sunset. The waterfront real estate, especially in Wolfeboro is some of the best in New England. In fact two years ago French President Nicolas Sarkozy decided to spend two weeks in Wolfeboro. That brought notoriety to the "oldest Summer Resort in America." Not only has Sarkozy spent some time hear, but it is the summer home of former Massachusetts Governor and presidential candidate, Mitt Romney. It was a summer home to Jack Lemmon. For more information on Wolfeboro, check out this link to my website http://www.lakesregionhomesinfo.com/wolfeboro_nh_real_estate/.

It is the oldest summer resort because the Royal Governor John Wentworth had the first summer retreat in America circa 1760's. The foundation is still off route 109 and has been the site of archeological digs over the years.

Come visit this wonderful town and area in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire this summer. You won't be disappointed.

Boston University Wins Hockey Division 1 National Title - Awesome Game!

Ok I'm biased as I attended BU, but what a great hockey game last night and both teams should be very proud of their efforts.

It had to be the most amazing hockey game I've ever seen with BU down 3-1 to Miami of Ohio with less than a minute left they scored 2 goals in 40+ seconds to tie it and then went on to win it in over time.

This was a game for the ages!

In a Community Organization - To Give or Receive, or Both?

I am interested in knowing why you participate in community organizations. Is it with the two fold purpose of giving back to the communities you service as a real estate agent and citizen of the community, or is it an important way for you to network for business?

Did you join the garden club, historical society, Lion's Club, etc., etc. first and foremost as a way to garner more business? If so has it helped you with that goal?

I myself have been involved in education and music organizations and have had very little business because of my affiliation within these groups, yet I've only been in real estate for 2.5 years. This in no way minimizes my enjoyment of being a member of these groups, but it does put into perspective for me that the real goal is the good work being done.

As an aside, we at Maxfield Real Estate give a percent of our commission (both broker and agent) to a local not-for-profit agency in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. It is always wonderful receiving the thank you letters back from these organizations telling us that we've made a difference.
