[Editor’s Note: Something went wrong with the formatting on the initial version of this post, which made the text difficult to read. I’m re-posting to make sure everyone gets a chance to hear about these wonderful events! – Kelli]

In connection with Old Home Days, the Walpole Conservation Commission and the Walpole Trail Committee, are offering several nature outings for the community.

Saturday, 6/28, from 8:30 to 10:00 am, Chris Liazos, an Antioch University MS graduate student, will lead a birding walk around town on behalf of the Conservation Commission.  To join the walk, please come to the Conservation Commission booth on the Common at 8:30 am.

Sunday, 6/29, the Walpole Trail Committee invites you to visit the Gateway, the town-owned property nestled against the Connecticut River across Route 12 from South Street.  At 7 am, Sharyn Tullar will lead a birding outing next to the river.  Bring your own binoculars.  At 10 am, there will be a guided hike along the Gateway River Ramble, a short new trail with outstanding views of the Connecticut River.  The meeting spot for both events is the kiosk at the top of the hill.  Dress for an outdoor adventure (comfortable shoes, tick and insect protection, etc.)

On Saturday, the Conservation Commission and the Trail Committee will have side-by-side booths on the west side of the Common opposite the Congregational Church.  Please visit us to learn more about conservation and trails in Walpole.

From Ray Boas:

A packed two weeks with OLD HOME DAYS approaching the end of the month – make sure to get involved. But also I am now starting work on the JULY issue of the CLARION. Inputs for your articles are due Saturday, June 21, 5 pm (Walpole time). The files will go to the printer on Monday the 23rd. Make sure to visit the CLARION website for contact information, and article and advertising submission details.

Your early submissions help as I start developing the layout well before the closing date. If you have some “news” send it along. I also like to have on-hand material of interest that is not time-sensitive to fill space to round out a pleasing issue. So, if you would “like to be in print” and have something to write and share (images as well), send along for possible inclusion space permitting. Please do remember, it is the advertisers in each issue that make this community publication possible, so please support and thank them.

If you have any questions, or interest in placing an advertisement, reaching over 1,900 Walpole, North Walpole and Drewsville addresses, I welcome your inquiries, so please do get in touch with me. Advertising information and contact information is on the CLARION website.

Thank you, RAY BOAS, Publisher

Fall Mountain Nordic Ski Teams Fundraiser – 6/28/25

From Holly Gowdy:

Fall Mountain Ski Teams offer Cow Poop Bingo at Walpole Old Home Days

The Fall Mountain Nordic Ski Teams are holding a fundraiser during Walpole Old Home Days. They will be having a COW on the Common Saturday June 28th. When she POOPS one lucky winner could receive $1,000.00.

Ski Team members have about 300 bingo raffle tickets for sale, they have started selling them and will continue to sell them right through Saturday, June 28th during the Old Home Day Parade.

The plan is to set up a “Bingo Card” on the grass at the South end of the Walpole Common. The cow will be in a small pen to take in the parade and then she will be released out onto the game board, as she wanders around grazing she will eventually have to poop, and wherever the poop lands will mark the square and we will have a WINNER.

Tickets will be available for sale on some Saturdays during June! At the Walpole Post Office on June 7th and/or at the Walpole Recycling Center, on Saturday June 14th . . . If we still have tickets to sell we will be at the Block Party and/or the Street Dance . . . don’t delay, as we have sold out before the parade the last couple of times we have done this.

The Fall Mountain Ski Teams are always grateful for the support from our community, THANK YOU!

If you have questions, contact Holly Gowdy 603-445-5104

SKI FAST!
