June 2025 Clarion Closing Date – 5/22/25
From Ray Boas:
This is the OLD HOME DAYS issue packed with activity information you will want to have sitting prominently on your table. I am giving you a “Baker’s Week Warning” eight (8) days from now I need your ads and articles for the June issue which are due before Thursday, May 22, 5 pm (Walpole time), a week plus a day from now. With the Memorial Day weekend ahead the files will go to the printer the night of the 22nd so your CLARION will be in the mail by the end of the month. Time again for work to begin on the next issue of the CLARION.
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 1900 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
Town Clerk Announces Dog License Prize Winners
From Holly Gowdy, Deputy Town Clerk:
The Town Clerk’s Office is excited to announce the winners of our 2025 Dog License Drawing. Thank you to our generous sponsors for some really great prizes. Walpole Veterinary Hospital donated five Pet Wellness Exams, Walpole’s Tractor Supply Company donated two $25 Gift Cards, and Walpole’s Blue Seal Feed Store donated a 25 pound bag of En-Trust Dog Chow. There were amazing gift baskets filled with treats and toys for dogs from Horse and Buggy Feed in Keene, Featherstone Kennel in Walpole, and a pet sitting service in Walpole, The PAW-tastic Nanny, LLC. We really appreciate their support and encourage you all to support these local businesses.
The Town Clerk used the tag # for residents that were timely in licensing dogs for 2025, from January 1st to April 30th, as raffle ticket numbers for a free drawing for these prizes. Walpole’s Town Clerk’s Office issued 368 tags during this time period.
The prize winners included: Carol Worcester, Edwin Caspersen, Jillian Hempstead, Jodi Burns, Sally Reid,
Kathy Whiton, Kai Sims, Steve Dumont, Cliff Peters, Sallie Houstoun, and Paul Hurwitz.
A Note from Friends of the Library
The Friends of the Library are gearing up for another great year of book gathering and selling. We are so grateful to all the volunteers and townspeople whose generosity made the October 2024 library sale such a success. We took in over $6,000.00, and with the ongoing sale of books at the Walpole Reuse Center and generous donations by community members, over $12,000.00 additional funds were raised. This money supports the purchase of books, museum passes and furnishings for the library, and exciting programs that bring speakers, arts and crafts, and other activities to the children and adults in our Walpole and North Walpole communities.
The 2025 book sale will be held at the Walpole School the weekend of October 25th-26th. We will begin sorting books on Wednesday, June 11th, between 9:30 and 10:30 at the white coop building behind the Hungry Diner parking lot. Sorting will continue every Wednesday morning until mid-October, and we
welcome all who wish to help with this task!
Also starting on June 11th during sorting time at the coop, we will begin accepting donations of clean, gently used books, and will continue to do so until September 24th. Please, no travel books or encyclopedias, and only textbooks under 5 years old. If you are unable to drop books off at the coop, they can still be taken to the Reuse Center any Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday between 8:00am and 4:00pm.
Again, we are so grateful for the depth of community support for all efforts on behalf of the library.
