5th Annual Amateur BBQ Pulled Pork Competition at Alyson’s Orchard

On Sunday, August 27, the 5th annual Amateur BBQ Pulled Pork Competition will be held at Alyson’s Orchard from 11AM – 3 PM. This fun, summer event, sponsored by Alyson’s Orchard and Kirby’s Q of Alstead is a benefit for the Fall Mtn. Food Shelf.  

The public is welcome to sample the pulled pork and vote for the People’s Choice Award between 12 noon and 2PM. There is no admission charge for this event, but anyone who wants to sample must make a minimum $3 cash contribution to benefit the Fall Mountain Food Shelf. There will also be BBQ food for sale to the public from Kirby’s Q, a beer, wine & soft drink tent to compliment the BBQ, and unique ice cream, mixed and frozen on the spot using liquid nitrogen, from Sub Zero Ice Cream & Yogurt!  

Alyson’s farm stand store will be open with fresh seasonal fruits, fruit pies & chicken pot pies. You can also Pick-Your-Own Peaches or Paula Red & Ginger Gold apples!! Other activities that day will include: face painting; free wagon rides through the orchard; children’s playground, and lawn games for kids of all ages! Be sure to visit the animals, too. This is perfect summer event for the whole family! The BBQ event will run from 11AM-3PM (tasting from 12-2PM) and their farm store is open from 9AM – 6PM daily for the season.  

I took Ray’s advice and checked out the good news regarding the sale of Hooper.  I urge you to do the same. – Lil

This morning the September 2017 issue of your CLARION went to the printer. Our production schedule is planned so the printed hardcopy is in the mail to everyone by the first of the month. About midway between the files going to the printer, and the paper arriving in the mail I post the issue on-line for those who wish to see it early.
The September cover story needs to be shared as soon as possible. It is good news, and also sets the record straight for stories that have circulated. This is news that was finalized on Monday the 21st (two days ago), and immediately provided to me to share.
So, head now to the CLARION website — https://thewalpoleclarion.com — and then click on the link to see the full story and September issue. Please share the CLARION on-line, and I encourage you to encourage others to “sign-up” to “follow the blog” to get my postings immediately and directly.
Thank you, yours RAY

 I cannot believe that August, and the summer, is almost at a close. You probably feel the same way and are cramming as much in as possible before Labor Day. But prior to that another issue of THE WALPOLE CLARION will be mailed, and to fill out the issue you have one week from today to submit your article, pictures and ads.
Deadline is Monday, August 21, and I hope to hear from you. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you, yours, RAY
