On Wednesday, August 12th at 7pm, the Lake Winnipesaukee Museum is hosting a presentation, “Lady of the Lake-the Lost Financial Records”, Fea-turing David Warren.
A complete set of fi-nancial records from the 1880’s for the Lady of the Lake steamboat was recently discovered in a Wolfeboro attic. Beauti-fully penned by her clerk, Herbert Rogers, they doc-ument the activities of the boat and crew during a most fascinating period in our history. Coupled with a diary recorded by Her-bert’s mother Sarah, that describes his activities on the boat at that time, we have a rare glimpse at ordinary life here in the lakes region in the 1880’s.
During this talk, we’ll review the history of the Lady of the Lake, and then focus on her activities in the 1880’s. We’ll see
where people traveled for business, recreation and religious purposes, and learn what it took to get them there. We will also see how daily and season-al travel patterns changed as tourism developed. In addition, we will see how the Lady interacted with other steamboats and responded to increasing competition from the SS
“lAdy of The lAke-The losT finAnCiAl reCords” feATuring
dAvid WArren
Mt. Washington. We will also look inside the opera-tion of the Winnipiseogee Steamboat Co. and see what it took to feed the passengers, house the crew and supply copious quantities of wood for the boiler.
This event is free for Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society members, for non members there is a $5 fee with all proceeds going to benefit the Historical Society’s ongoing renova-tions. We are located on Route 3 in Weirs Beach, next to Funspot. Please RSVP to 366-5950.

Dr. Cristow’s life takes a sudden turn for the worse as the mistress of mystery Agatha Christie does it again in her whodunit “The Hollow” at The Barnstorm-ers Theatre, August 6-15.
Barnstormer and Chris-tie fans know how the Brits and Dame Agatha relish their weekends in the country, and the play opens with everyone land-ing for a lovely weekend at The Hollow, the home of Lady and Sir Henry Ang-katell. Dr. Cristow and his wife arrive and, much to his horror, he realizes his ex and current lovers are there as well. Soon the “good” doctor is dead, and everyone is a suspect. Dame Agatha once again gives her audience sus-pense and intrigue, pep-pered with bits of humor, in this unforgettable, sum-mer theatre whodunit.
“Agatha Christie and The Barnstormers are peas in a pod,” said Artistic Direc-tor Bob Shea. “With this stellar cast, ‘The Hollow’ will have everyone on the edge of their seats until the curtain closes in this nail-biting and extremely witty drama.”
Longtime, local Barn-stormer favorites in “The Hollow” include Vinette Cotter, Robert Bates and Elizabeth Henle, Frank T.
AgAThA ChrisTie’s “The holloW”AT The BArnsTormers
Wells, and are joined by other favorites - Dee Nel-son, Doug Shapiro, Dale Place, Blair Hundertmark, Madeleine Maby, Anne-Ma-rie Cusson, Greg Pike and, for the first time in Tam-worth, Anna Marie Sell. Directed by Bob Shea.
The Barnstormers, a 282-seat, professional, Equity theatre founded in 1931, enjoys air conditioning, a hearing assist system and is wheelchair accessible. Tuesday - Saturday eve-nings and weekend mati-nees, tickets cost $12-$36
with group rates and pack-age discounts available. Beer, wine and lemonade are available during inter-mission. Friday night is Family Night with special prices.
For more information and tickets, visit www.BarnstormersTheatre.org or call 603-323-8500.

This year the peaks are:

lunch” to enjoy a musical performance.
Pat O’Brien grew up playing and singing tra-ditional Irish music, and was also strongly influ-enced by the American Folk Music movement in the 60’s. Her original music is a blend of both. As a singer/songwriter, she was a founding mem-ber of the women’s folk group “Labrys” releasing two CD’s of original mu-sic and performing with them until 2004. She performed and released two additional CD’s with the Irish band An Banna Ceoil. Pat began traveling through Ireland several
years ago, blending her heritage with her new ex-periences into a solo CD. Of late, she has performed with Bradigan, and con-tinues solo performances of songs and stories. Re-cent performances include the Seacoast Irish Festi-val, the Irish Gala at the Rochester Opera House, the Effingham Summer Concert Series, Willow-brook Village in Newfield Maine, and solo events of songs and stories at the Goodwin Library in Farmington. Pat is also a former Rochester Poet Laureate and hosts the monthly Writer’s Nights at Mel Flanagan’s Irish Pub & Café.

WinnipesAukee sCeniC rAilroAd And m/s mounT WAshingTon Cruise ship pArTner WiTh TAnger ouTleTsLINCOLN - Two of
New Hampshire’s mos t popu la r Lakes Region at-t ract ions, the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad and the M/S Mount Washing-ton Cruise Ship, are working with t h e 5 6 - s t o r e Tanger Out let Center in Tilton, NH to offer an af-fordable family activity and help reduce the cost of back-to-school shopping at the same time.
Starting Mon-d a y , A u g u s t 24th and avail-able through Friday, Au-gust 28th, anyone who purchases tickets for the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad’s popular Rail & Sail excursion through their station in Meredith will receive a Gift Card voucher worth $10.00 as well as a valuable Coupon Booklet for the Tanger Outlet Center in Tilton.
Referred to by many as the “Ultimate tour of Lake Winnipesaukee”, the Rail & Sail excursion harkens back to the late 1800’s when the Boston & Maine Railroad built and owned the original paddle steamer Mount Washing-ton. The railroad brought adventurous tourists from New York and Boston north by train to enjoy New Hampshire’s largest lake during the summer months. By the late 19th century, it was quite com-mon for the Mount Wash-ington to transport well over 60,000 passengers in a single season.
Today, the Rail & Sail excursion consists of a 2-hour train ride along the western shore of the lake aboard the Winnipesau-kee Scenic Railroad, a 2 ½ hour lake cruise aboard the M/S Mt. Washington Cruise Ship and time to enjoy the shops and ar-cades at Weirs Beach. The 6-hour adventure departs Meredith station located
at 154 Main Street in Meredith, NH at 10:30am and returns at 4:30pm daily. The cost of the Rail & Sail package is $39.95 for adults and $29.95 for children 5-12, while ages 4 and under ride free.
“Working closely with the M/S Mount Washing-ton Cruise Ship and the Tanger Outlet Center in Tilton, we felt this package would be a unique oppor-tunity for the three busi-nesses to work together in providing a memorable activity for families dur-ing the final days of sum-mer, as well as help them reduce the cost of their back-to-school shopping”, stated Paul Giblin, Direc-tor of Marketing & Busi-ness Development for the Hobo & Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroads. “With each family purchase of a Rail & Sail package at the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad, families receive a Tanger Outlet Gift Card voucher worth $10.00 and a valuable coupon booklet worth additional savings while supplies last”.
The Tanger Outlet Cen-ter is located just off exit 20 on I-93 at 120 Laconia Road in Tilton, NH. For more information regard-ing the Tanger Outlet Cen-ter in Tilton, NH, call (603) 286-7880 or visit them online at www.tangerout-lets.com/tilton.
